1. Make a vanilla cupcake batter, without vanilla extract. Then, take out a bunch of ingredients from the pantry and fridge. We took out the ingredients in the picture above, but we didn't use them all.
For example:
- Vanilla extract
- peppermint extract
- chocolate syrup
- spices
- chocolate chips
- sprinkles
- anything you find that may be good in cupcakes!
2. Now, split the batter up evenly, in separate bowls.
3. Now, the fun part. Chose some things to use in your cupcakes to make it your own! (We didn't measure them, so we don't know how much we used.)
4. Then place them in cupcake tins, and don't mix the different batters together! When you are done baking them, have a judge determine the best one. Don't tell them whose is whose!!
5. {Don't forget to give your cupcake recipes a name! You can look at our cupcake descriptions below to see our cupcake names, for some inspiration! [Silvia and Lexa (me!) had a hard time coming up with names for ours!]}

Rules:
- DO NOT copy each other. Obviously.
- NO ELECTRONICS. No looking up recipes. YOU have to decide how much of what to put in!
- ONLY use what is put out. If you have an idea and something you need is not in the ingredients, ask the other teammates if you can get it out.
- Be creative. Don't make boring vanilla cupcakes.
Now... drumroll please... here is what we made!!
The first one was made by Silvia. Called: Caramel Surprise. She made it with coco powder, Nutella, vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips (Which you can't see) Caramel on top, and some peppermint extract.
The second one is Lexa's (mine). It is called...Holiday Spice. She used gingerbread spice, cinnamon, ginger, sprinkles, and chocolate chips.
The last one is Annamarie's. It is called Coco Twist. She used peppermint extract, chocolate chips, crushed up candy canes, and coco powder.
And the winner was... LEXA!! Yay!! Hope you enjoy this fun challenge that made us feel like we were really on a tv cooking show!
