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!
