Cupcake Wars, Parties That Cook's Newest Event Puts Teamwork to the Test

San Francisco, CA October 27, 2011 - Parties That Cook®, the mobile culinary events company specializing in corporate team building activities and hands-on cooking parties, is pleased to announce its newest event theme, Cupcake Wars. Perfect for gathering clients, colleagues and friends together over the holidays, the Cupcake Wars event provides 2 ½ hours of competitive team building, group cooking and festive feasting.

“Interactive cooking parties make wonderful team building events all year long, but they are particularly popular during the holidays because they emphasize camaraderie and teamwork – the real spirit of the season,” says Parties That Cook Founder & CEO Bibby Gignilliat. “In this uncertain economy, a group cooking event is the perfect way to celebrate a year of hard work and build morale without the extravagant spending. Food is the universal language - nothing brings people together better than cooking.”

Like all of Parties That Cook’s mouthwatering team events, Cupcake Wars can be staged in a private home, office or at a variety of gorgeous event spaces throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Seattle and Portland, Oregon. Guests will enjoy a lively Food Network-style demo and learn fun culinary tips, such as how to zest lemons and pipe frosting, before dividing into teams to create the winning cupcake. Armed with a base recipe, teams select from a pantry of exotic flavors like lavender, bacon and chipotle chiles to whip their way to the prize.

Accommodating groups from 10 to 300, hosts may also choose the “Sumptuous Small Plates” party which features international, seasonal small plate dishes passed hot-from-the-oven. Or, try an irresistible four-course menu and throw a more traditional “Chef’s Table,” sit-down celebratory meal. No matter what the theme, all Parties That Cook menus highlight the season’s freshest ingredients and recipes are well-tested by their team of professionally-trained chefs to ensure culinary success.
