This Sunday, March 13, local cake-slingers will meet in a showdown from high noon to 2 p.m. at the High Noon Saloon (701 E. Washington Ave., 608-268-1122) for the Iron Cupcake Madison baking competition. The “Iron Cupcake: Marshmallow” edition of this event pits friends, enemies, neighbors, and families against one another in a showdown of baking prowess as part of a Madison program to promote creative eating. This is a family-friendly affair, but also takes place in a tavern, so there are sure to be a few alcoholic drinks tossed off in addition to much consumption of fluffy mini-cakes topped with candy, sprinkles, and intense glazes of pure sugar. The entries will be judged and sentenced to a fate of ingestion at the hands of the crowd, with winners emerging triumphant and sure to claim bragging rights. Call 608-239-1804 or e-mail ironcupcakemadison@gmail.com for more information, or just buy tickets online.
FATSOMETER: 6. The mind-ripping qualities of gelatinous sugar should help to keep the cake-induced gut tumescence at bay a bit; there are only so many marshmallow cupcakes a human can ingest before falling ill to fits of twitching, spasms, and foaming at the mouth.
