The episode I watched was mostly about taste and ingredients, but there was a theme involved. Each episode has a different theme. For example, this week's theme was, appropriately enough, the Rose Parade. Here's a summary:

Four Cupcake Wars champions set out to prove they're the best of the best as they fight to have their delicious displays featured at the coronation of the 2011 Rose Queen, as well as the special grand prize of being featured in the internationally renowned Rose Parade.

This one is pretty creative... strawberry and mint.

Unfortunately, not all of them come together so well. This one wasn't able to "stand up" to the competition. There's actually a video on the website that shows the icing and berry sliding right off!

Is that cole slaw on top of a cupcake, Mike? Seems like a waste of good coleslaw. Rolling my eyes.

Mike said:The show's website posts photos and recipes of the winning cupcakes. Here are photos of two of them.

(Wish I knew how to bake!)

I'm more with PPal - Cabbage is to be made into either soup, fried, or put into Asian-style food, not on cupcakes.

Looks like toasted coconut and some green type frosting with torn flower petals for the color.

yea, after looking it, it looks more like guacamole than cole slaw. That's a shame if it is.. guacamole should be on burritos & tortilla chips, not cupcakes.
