We have a winner for the "Napa Valley" Wine Cupcake Contest!
 Recently the CCB baking team has been getting ready for the holidays - however we've also been "taste-testing" the recipes that you all have submitted for our "Napa Valley" wine cupcake contest. We've selected Ms. Angela B.'s citrus chardonnay recipes as the winner. This complex Satsuma orange, key lime and chardonnay infused cupcake was a fabulous combination. The zesty fresh citrus was offset by the luscious chardonnay wine and topped with a marscapone glaze. Look for our version of this very adult flavored cupcake in the spring of 2010.
We'd also like to honorably mention a recipe submission by Ms. Jacie W. We liked this chardonnay cupcake's simplicity and texture that was provided by the toasted pecans.
