Cupcake Wars: Difference between revisions

* ''Display'': In the third and final round, the two left standing must now bake at least ''1,000'' cupcakes and have them arranged on their custom-made centerpiece within two hours. Fortunately, they have the help of four extra assistants, as well as two expert carpenters who must take the bakers' hastily sketched ideas and make them a reality. The judges then decide which display is worthy of being featured at the event. This last point is key, as a striking layout can let someone who struggled to survive the first two rounds edge out their competition.

* [[Caustic Critic]]

* [[Up to Eleven]]: It's become a trend for at least one competitor to try and incorperate ''all'' the ingredients during the Taste challenge, as opposed to the required two or three. Results vary.

* [[X Meets Y]]: ''Food Network Challenge'' meets ''[[Chopped]].''
