Is a "Cupcake Wars" TV show coming our way?

That's what TV Tango thinks: (via Serious Eats)

The national media went on a sugar high late last year, and it's still buzzing about cupcakes. First, it was a Washington Post newspaper column. Now, is the cupcake craze ready for primetime TV?

Apparently so. Food Network is considering an entire TV series devoted to cupcakes, and it's tentatively called "Cupcake Wars."...

And now this. About 10 days ago, Food Network filed a trademark application to protect 'Cupcake Wars' for "a continuing program about food and cooking." I can't find any other details about the show and my requests to Food Network for more information went unanswered. Wouldn't it be awesome if Food Network and The Post teamed up to do a "Cupcake War" series with each episode focusing on a different region? Manhattan one week, Chicago the next, then LA, and Orange County and on and on.

Fab idea having a show about cupcakes but I agree with above the name is a little boring isn't it!

I also loved the idea. I'm a fan of FN and its about time to have a show like this. But the name...yes it is boring...i think cupcake lovers ( the one whom are going to watch the show, like me) should share name ideas...how about "Just cupcakes!" simple and to the point!
