Iron Cupcake: San Francisco (first meeting!)

San Francisco, CA 94109

Update from the organizer:

As we enter this wonderful Thanksgiving season, I wanted to incorporate an ingredient that would give a nice cozy holiday vibe. The challenge for November is Corn! My first choices have already been taken but I think Corn will give us lots of options to work with: tasting yummy with cheese, buttercream, honey, citrus, and fruits.

See the group's Flickr pool to see what's been uploaded so far.
