One of the many stunning cupcake (or should I say sculptural?!) entries at Cupcake Camp Montreal 2010 last Sunday, 21st November, at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. Unfortunately, all I know is that it was an entry by one of the many superb professional bakers participating. Doesn't this little sugar fairy look adorable sitting on her plump, pillowy clouds of buttercream?!
I added the burnt orange snowflakes using a PS paintbrush effect.
Thank you in advance for visiting!
Have a delicious day ~ Epi x

Epi's Caramel Vanilla Kiss & Devil's Delight cupcakes
Wow! Managed to get into Cupcake Camp Montreal 2010 (CCMTL 2010) at the Queen Elizabeth (Montreal, Que) this afternoon (ie: 21st Nov 2010). There were thousands of people!!!
Thanks to the great show of support, to the volunteers and bakers who donated thousands of cupcakes in all, to the celebrity judges, and to the great team at the Queen Eleizabeth, CCMTL 2010 raised $31,000 for the two charities "Jeunesse J’écoute" and "La Tablée des Chefs"! Bravo everyone :-)
I baked over 100 of the yummy cupcakes you see above for CupCakeCamp Montreal last year. The Devil's Delight were an intense, fudgy chocolate cupcake with Swiss meringue salted caramel buttercream, and Vanilla Kiss were made with a rich, buttery, vanilla cupcake. This year, sadly, I was unable to contribute cupcakes ~ but I was there to bring support by buying some, and did manage to get a few photos! It was an awesome event. Also had the pleasure of meeting up with a few Flickr and blogger friends :-)
I'll be posting more photos along with the recipes for my Devil's Delight cupcakes over the next few days, so come back soon!

Biscuit ~ Biscotti ~ Biscotto
Home-made biscotti taste wonderful ~ completely different from commercially made biscotti. Fabulous and so simple to make, even a novice cook can prepare these successfully the first time, especially if they follow my hints for success! So why not give them a try and impress someone special?
Go to my webzine EpicureanPiranha.com to find the simple recipe, 4 of my own favourite variations, and to discover a little history of this now very popular coffee-time treat: Biscuit ~ Biscotti ~ Biscotto
