This month's theme for the Iron Cupcake London challenge was the perfect pair ie no more than 2 flavours in the sponge and frosting. I have to admit I started thinking of ideas very late- a few days before the challenge. I had quite a few ideas but decided on
chocolate and beetroot cupcakes and
pecan and orange marmalade cupcakes in the end. I wanted to do something slightly different but not too wild. My other ideas were peanut butter and jam (there were quite a few of these at the challenge so it was a good thing I decided not to), apple and cinnamon, lemon and blueberry, ginger and honey(not sure why as I don't like ginger), chocolate and avocado (got strange looks with this one). The more I thought about it, the more ideas I had but there is a limit to how many cakes I can make or carry! I can't physically carry more than 36 cupcakes on the day so 2 entries is my limit especially since the minimum requirement has changed from 12 cupcakes to 18.
As usual, we had a good time sampling all the delicious cakes. I was so busy eating this time, I didnt take photos of all the cakes on our table! I met some fellow bakers/food bloggers and we shared a table hence got a larger variety of cakes to try. I enjoyed so many of them, it was really hard to pick a favourite (or 2 or 3!)
I think the pictures speak for themselves. Do check out the
caked crusader for further details and information on each entry.
We voted for the vanilla and strawberry which was the runner up.

Love the caterpillar - it's so cute! The orange flower is really beautiful as well.
