Cupcake Battles | 2nd - 8th Grades

Calling all bakers, recipe inventors, and Food Network fans! Cupcake Battles Camp challenges campers to be creative in the sweetest specialty camp LINX Camps has ever cooked up. Over the course of a week, campers use buttercream frosting to learn and gain experience cupcake decorating using piping and fondant. They experiment with combining flavors and colors. In addition to decorating their own apron to wear during the week, they design a display for their cupcakes. Each week ends with a team-based showdown that involves decorating their cupcakes to match the theme of the week!

Campers do not eat their cupcakes during the camp day. All creations are boxed up and brought home so they can be proudly shown and enjoyed with family.

Details

  • Best practices in food handling

  • Batter measuring and mixing
  • Icing and decorating techniques
  • Practice work with decorating bags and tips
  • Display creation

Allergy & Ingredient Information

We want every camper to have a safe and positive experience at camp. Cupcake Battle campers participate in hands-on baking and decorating which makes it is important for families to know:

  • Core Ingredients: Recipes can include wheat, dairy, soy, and eggs.
  • Cross-Contamination Risk: Our work space is not gluten-free or dairy-free.
  • Celiac Disease & Severe Allergies Safety: For campers with Celiac Disease or severe food allergies, we recommend considering a different specialty camp, where risks are more easily managed. While we sometimes can provide substitutions (such as gluten-free cupcake mix), families should understand that it is not possible to guarantee that cross-contact will not occur.
