The cupcake competition is a chapter event that encourages
individuals to create an original recipe, from scratch, that
incorporates a secret ingredient. This year's secret ingredient was
the entrant's choice of any fruits and vegetables. The event is
judged on the taste, texture, appearance, creativity of the cupcakes
as well as the quality and creativity of the display.
Midwest Central students Paige Meyer, Savannah Little and Collen
Corr created a pumpkin spice cupcake with a cream cheese frosting.
This is Meyer's personal recipe. Rhian Baker and Kirsten Spangler
worked together to create a unique chocolate velvet cupcake using
tomato puree as the secret ingredient. The cupcake was topped with a
butter cream icing.

Out of all the entries submitted, Midwest Central's pumpkin spice
cupcake won "Best Tasting Cupcake" and was awarded a trophy. Judges
were also impressed with the originality of the chocolate velvet
cupcake.
All cupcakes were then sold to raise money for the Alzheimer's
Association.
