Of course, I was there with my submission: Titanic Cupcakes:
When I first heard the theme of Perfect Pairs, this idea of doing the love story from the movie hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't going to do the challenge. After all, it was 500 cupcakes. That's a lot of work. But, when I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about telling the story in cupcakes on a 6-foot boat display, I knew I had to do it. So Sunday was my exorcism of this idea.
The story of Jack and Rose was the center of my theme. Jack was represented in Cracker Jack Cupcakes:
These were peanut butter cheesecake on a popcorn crust with caramel topping and garnished with a single piece of popcorn.And Rose was Heart of the Ocean Cupcakes:
They were blue velvet cupcakes with sea foam frosting.
I didn't win but, I did get to meet Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes:
A HUGE thank-you going out to Sandy Ploy who put this enormous event! This is definitely one to remember:-)It is definitely a happy Tackle It Tuesday with 5 Minutes for Mom !

Oh no! I missed another Iron Cupcake Milwaukee! And I was even "free" on Sunday. I need to make it up to one of these someday. What a neat idea - and how cool to meet Duff. I am shocked they're done after last week, but ... yay! I love your idea, and oh do they look good. So what happens to all the 500 cupcakes you make at an event like that? And who (what) did win?
Oh wow..what an awesome creation.
