It’s the bee’s knees!
In celebration of National Nursing Week, the VGH Burn, Plastics & Trauma (BPTU) team held their third annual “Cupcake War”. Staff stirred, sifted and sprinkled for the title of best cupcake and mouth-watering prizes. The competition was tough but the winner was bee-yond compare!
Bee-yond Lemon Meringue: First-place cupcake by Claire Meggs.
Our distinguished panel of judges gladly tasted every submission, judging each cupcake on presentation, taste and creativity. The winners were each awarded a bottle of wine, as well as a gift certificate to the Gourmet Warehouse for $75, $50 or $25, depending on placement.
Judging panel members (l to r): Lisa Alguire, Laura Brooks, Natalie Willian and Dr. Daniel Demsey. Judges not pictured: Carol Kopp and Dr. Naian Garroway.
Craig Pienkowski took third place for his cupcake creation.
The BPTU team congratulates this year’s cupcake war winners:
1st Place: Claire Meggs for her Bee-yond Lemon Meringue cupcake
2nd Place: Jean Carr for her Pina Colada cupcake
3rd Place: Craig Pienkowski for his Flattop Spice cupcake

Hello!
Thanks for your interest.
I was inspired by this Donna Hay recipe. Then adapted it to cupcakes. I also used a lemon curd and meringue icing recipe I had on hand, but the differences are minimal!
