Mac & Cheese Throwdown!
Posted by Bake & Destroy on July 26th, 2008. Filed under: cooking for kids, cupcake recipes, muffin recipes.
Hey, remember like, months ago when I posted pictures of my mac & cheese cupcake and the whole entire Internerd freaked out? Yeah! I’m finally posting the recipe today along with all the winning recipes from Echo magazine’s Mac & Cheese Throwdown! We had to use powdered cheese- gross, right? I argued that most people spring for the creamy cheese pouch but I was shot down with a chorus of “no, most people buy the powdered cheese!” Well, maybe I’m fancy, but I’ve always used the squishy cheese. I guess I’m just stuck up that way.
To this day the blog entry where I just mention mac & cheese cupcakes gets a ton of hits from sites that have linked to it in their “ewwwwww” files. As long as it never ends up on Cake Wrecks I’m fine with being the grossest baker on the Internet. An thanks to Jenn for the intro to Cake Wrecks, maybe the funniest blog I’ve seen in a long time. So click the magazine page to see the recipes.
My Flickr friends might have seen the book I made in my photography class. I want to give it away in some kind of contest because it seems weird to have a book with pictures of myself in it. Maybe I should have a contest to see who has the best contest idea.
It’s been a while since I posted so I want to say congrats to Melisser on her success with Sugar Beat Sweets, way to go Michelle for a beautiful cake on Food Network’s Cake Challenge last week end and high five to Phil for becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champ! Seriously, why are my friends so rad? Oh, and happy birthday to Shannon and Barb. Also hello to Mike Edison. Enjoy your marshmallows, sir.
Everyone check out Cakespy this Sunday for a super special surprise!

Um, I for one thought the mac and cheese cupcakes looked awesome. It’s not in my “ewww” file.
Thanks for that Cake Wrecks link. That’s hilarious!

I was somewhat relieved to see nothing I’ve made was on the Cake Wrecks site but then again, there’s still time.
