Cupcake Wars is yet another competitive Cooking Show running on Food Network (hosted by Justin Willman), taking cues from Iron Chef and Chopped. Each episode is themed around a grand celebration, with four cupcake makers fighting for the right to have their centerpiece included in the festivities, as well as a $10,000 prize. There are three rounds:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) Taste: In the first round, competitors have 45 minutes to combine nontraditional ingredients following the day's theme into a delicious cupcake. (For instance, a SeaWorld episode tasks them with combining sea salt and seaweed.) Whichever chef impresses the judging panel the least is cut. Taste & Presentation: In the second round, the three survivors have 75 minutes to create three different cupcakes, each with its own distinct taste and appearance. One of these cupcakes must include a detail specified at the start of the round, again following the theme. 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Break the Haughty: Contestants start out bragging about their prowess and how they will blow away the competition, only to be harshly criticized by the judges. Occasionally Subverted in that the contestant shown bragging and smirking the most ultimately winds up winning, albeit with a bruised ego.

Chekhov's Skill: Seda Ashikian, a contestant in the Miss USA cupcake war, said in her intro video that she was familiar with Middle Eastern ingredients. Little did she know that the guest judge was Rima Fakih and the first challenge was to use Middle Eastern ingredients.

Caustic Critic: Mostly Florian. Candace is more soft, but she still hits the nail.
