You're looking at my entry to the Iron Cupcake London competition that was held last Tuesday in London Bridge. I thought I was finished with baking competitions, but when I heard about this one, my competitive baking side bubbled up once again and suddenly it was midnight on Sunday and I was turning out this batch of bad boys.
The theme was 'desserts', so I came up with doing a Cinnabon cinnamon roll inspired guy. Basic (but delicious of course) vanilla cake with an ooey, gooey cinnamon and sugar swirl going through. Then frosted with Cinnabon-inspired frosting. I thought it was genius. I was however slightly worried when I got to work and my colleague asked what a cinnamon roll is. So, it may not be a very British dessert, but a delicious one nonetheless.
I didn't place, but no worries. It was a good night with friends and got my blood sugar level way up there. Can't wait for next month's theme: booze.
Thanks for letting me use this photo Dave Shipman. I never thought I'd see my little cupcake in a professional photo shoot!

Ha! Love it!
Those Brits don't realize the cinnamon flavored genius they have overlooked!
I loved it! I think it may have been one I voted for but I cant remember now. Getting the cinnamon yummy in the middle was sooooooooooo yummy. Can't wait to see you next months us Americans have to stick together!
Thanks for your cinnamon solidarity! As for the next round I have some serious boozy homework to get on with. :)
