According to a New York Time’s article, On an upcoming episode of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee, the Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s young daughter will help Sandra Lee to make cupcakes.  A YouTube clip shows Lee with Mariah, the 15 year old twin adding flavoring and food coloring to frosting then filling the pastry bags to pipe the frosting onto the pre-baked cupcakes.  The Fairy Princess Party themed episode where they make Mariah’s Garden Cupcakes is said to air July 14.

That’s right, this month the baker’s battlefield will be set.  Icing bags will be loaded and beaters revved as the Food Network launches its new prime time series ‘Cupcake Wars’. The first episode of this premier series will be aired on June the 15th at 9pm ET/PT when four of the country’s top bakers will go head to head, but it is not until the Tuesday 27th July when our very own sponsor Stefanie Gaxiola of Red Velvet Stefanie will get to show off her amazing stuff.

Each episode will feature a different theme, from a SeaWorld Birthday Bash in Round 1 to the Film Festival Face Off, in which Stefanie will need to beat her opponents Arleen Scavore of Sweet Arleens, Zoey Devail of Bee Sweet Bakery and Johnny Mangamiotis of Mr Cupcakes to feature her cupcakes at a film festival. Stefanie’s episode will air at 10pm on Tuesday the 27th of July, so lets cheer her on! You can read more about the all upcoming shows and contestants on The Futon Critic.

All of us here at ATC will be right behind Stefanie, who could see herself into the elimination rounds if she wins.  The overall prize for the best cupcake baker is $10,000 and the opportunity to showcase their cupcakes at the winning gig!
