My lovely friend Kyra Bussanich, owner of Kyra’s Bake Shop in Lake Oswego just WON another cupcake wars. This one was called the “Ultimate Showdown Challenge” because it was all bakers who have won before. The totally cool thing is that she did all GF baking, of course, but no one made a big deal about it. Just. Cupcakes. Really really really good cupcakes! Go get some (and drop a few off at my office if you’re driving by…) 🙂
