Battle of the Cupcake

We were recently asked to participate in a friendly Cupcake Challenge. I'm always up for a little competition, especially when it involved one of my favorite pastries. We entered cupcakes in 5 different categories. Here's a look at the entries, can you guess which 3 cupcakes won in their category?:

Vanilla Bean Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream


Valrhona Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Satin Icing


Coconut Cake with Lemon Buttercream & Sweetened Shavings


Black Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
