"For the first challenge, participants had to bake cupcakes using a surprise ingredients chosen by the judges. After a taste-test, one baker was eliminated, allowing Eileen Kerbel of Molly's Cupcakes to advance to the second round where both the taste and presentation of cupcakes were judged and evaluated, according to the competition's vintage theme."
"This is when Molly's Peach Cobbler Cupcake, a recipe made with vanilla streusel cake, cinnamon peach filling, and whipped cream frosting topped with a peach slice, won over the judges and the $10,000 cash prize."
"Not only are treats at Molly's Cupcakes decorated in trendy ways and garnished with candy, cookies, fruit slices, or caramel drizzle, but the cupcakes are known to be moist and fluffy, with an ideal frosting-to-filling ratio."
