Food Wars take to the streets in San Francisco next month

Updated

and by "streets" I mean Stable Cafe but it sounded better that way. And made me picture a cupcake food fight literally in the street...

Anyway, a mini cupcake clash sounds so fun! Yes, I will have a full October cupcake calendar for you next week but this demanded to be posted (not literally, just demanded of my cupcake-loving brain).

A friend sent me this yesterday, and SF Weekly SFoodie editor John Birdsall has the scoop:

SF Food Wars Mini Cupcake Clash promises to be just as pointy-elbow brutal as the Mac Battle Royale w/ Cheese. Today, SFFW sent out a call for entries -- amateurs and professionals alike are welcome to battle (drop an e-mail to heyyou@sffoodwars.com - go to sffoodwars.com first to see what info to include). A potentially nauseating twist: You can enter savories, if you think they'll be irresistible to the judges, who include SFoodie contributor Tamara Palmer and Gobba Gobba Hey's Steven Gdula.

Event tickets ($10) go on sale next Monday, September 28 at noon. Clear your calendar, since you'll have to e-mail pretty much precisely at noon -- only 170 tix are available. They're guaranteed to go like mini cupcakes.


I'm excited because I will actually be in town for this! See sffoodwars.com for exact details - it's limited to 170 tickets and they go on sale on the site Monday, September 28th at noon. Here's more info from their site:

how many cupcakes must you gobble??
enough to cause major bloat and a hobble.
they may be mini, but flavor’s not small.
it’s like pokemon. gotta eat ‘em all.
prepare for sweet as well as savory.
and summon your gastronomical bravery!

The Mini Cupcake Clash will pin 20 home and professional baking masterminds against each other as they present their miniature morsels of one-bite goodness. Sweet is expected, but savory will NOT be rejected! We will showcase a rainbow of delectable treats, sweet, savory, and maybe some in between.

Call for Competitors:

They MUST be *mini*. If you have what it takes to bake a boatload of mini cupcakes that are good enough to blow all others out of the kitchen, then send an email to heyyou@sffoodwars.com with the following info: Name, phone number, email, recipe name, and dish description. Timeliness and enthusiasm are key because we will select our competitors within a day or two. Remember, savory and sweet/savory dishes are welcome!

I think I'm going to be in San Francisco this weekend also! I will probably try to get tix to this, but I will definitely be checking out some other cupcakeries too. Maybe we will have to meet up!
