On Friday, May 23, Anderson Middle School’s Family and Consumer Science 7th grade students participated in their culminating day of Cupcake Wars. Throughout the weeks leading up to the big day, groups of students worked in groups to develop a theme, flavor profile for both the cupcakes and frosting and think through how the final product would be displayed. Then, during the week of May 23, students baked and decorated, getting ready to present to a panel of judges, just like the TV show. The themes and displays included, Monsters, Inc, earthlings, cupcake campout, beaches, the dealers hand and more.

Guest judges, including Anderson administrators, Berkley Schools District administrators, AMS staff, and Principal Shamika Womble from Pattengill.

Congratulations to the following teams:

4th Place: Monsters, Inc.
3rd Place: Earthlings
Tied for 2nd Place: Cone Crusherz and Cupcake Campout
1st Place: Wild Bites — who took home the top prize with their outstanding cupcakes!

After the judging was complete, students shared their cupcakes with AMS staff, friends and family.

Teacher Heather Torrente shared, “I am proud of every student who participated, showing not only baking skills but also collaboration, enthusiasm, and school spirit. Thank you for supporting our students and making this event a great success.”
