CREATIVE CHALLENGE #3—CUPCAKE WARS!

Ok, you bakers, snackers, and wonderful picture book writers, it’s time for our latest creative challenge. I am a television food challenge junky. I just love seeing what people create when the creative gauntlet is thrown down and the clock starts ticking. One of my favorite shows is CUPCAKE WARS. Whoever dreamed you could make 1,000 cupcakes of four different varieties AND build a humongous display in one hour? Well any picture book writer can tell you that what we do every day seems just as daunting (if not quite as delicious). So let’s combine our world of writing with the culinary world’s cupcake wars.

1.     Write a description of the best cupcake in the world.

2.     Create a cupcake story.

3.     Make a cupcake menu with descriptions of all your favorites.

4.     Adapt a cupcake recipe to make it into a concept book for measuring, colors, tastes, number, etc.

5.     Scrapbook your favorite pictures and recipes of cupcakes.

10.  Use a cupcake tin to separate the supplies in your office desk.
