So I hadn’t planned a follow-up post to the Iron Cupcake: Beer competition but I just had to share this. While my Baby Got Bock cupcakes – chocolate with homebrewed dopplebock beer, caramel filling, caramel buttercream frosting and Heath bits – didn’t win, they did make local and national news!
My wonderful new friend, Sara, from Cream City & Sugar passed along the link to the MSNBC video (via WTMJ4) which would have otherwise slipped under my radar! I’m thinking this could be the beginning of a reality show…Project Haute Homemaker?? Bravo, are you listening?
The next Iron Cupcake competition is bacon if any of you Milwaukee/Chicago folks feel up the challenge!

Amazing! Congrats Katie! And your cupcakes could not sound more delectable!
LOVE the idea! You have always been a rockstar my dear katie
There is a fabulous cupcake shop down the street from me on Broadway called Phoebe’s Cupcakes. If you are ever in chicago seek them out…they make a salted caramel cupcake that literally is to do for. They make a bacon cupcake. It is a maple flavored cake with a little extra maple syrup and maple frosting with chopped bacon on top. Delicious!!!
Where can I get your recipe for the Baby Got Bock cupcakes? My husband is a homebrewer and I am a baker and would love to make these for him. Sounds delicious!
