"My mother always made the best Red Velvet Cupcakes," Rebecca Grammer-Ybarra said during the "Cupcakes for a Cause" episode. Her twist on this standard treat: vanilla-bean frosting. This challenge was judged 50 percent on presentation, and Rebecca's heartfelt topping impressed the judges.
Cinnamon Swirl Sour Cream, Maple Cream Cheese, Strawberry and Bacon Breakfast Cupcake

Hollis Wilder's creation for the "George & Ann Lopez Charity Golf Tournament" episode was a cinnamon sour cream cake folded with diced strawberries and topped with a maple cream-cheese frosting sprinkled with maple-glazed turkey bacon. The judges loved the look and the taste.
