A hearty, happy slap on the back to the ninety bakers who took part in our cake pop challenge. Without further ado, we're proud to welcome our guest judge, the creator of cake pops herself, Bakerella:
"I had a blast looking though all of the entries for Yuppiechef’s Spring Cake Pop Challenge. So much creativity and love showed through in all of the submissions. Everyone did such a great job and I wish I could pick more than just three spring-themed winners. So I did and picked 10 more runner-ups. Alright… here are my top three."
Cathrine Vermeulen - Spring Scene

Cathrine, your spring scene is bursting with happiness. Everything is pulled together beautifully from the field of flowery cake pops below to the fluffy clouds above and all of the characters in between. Excellent detail and presentation. Congratulations, Cathrine!
Heidi Hawes - Lady Bugs

Heidi, your lady bugs sing spring. They are simple and sweet and those heart mouths are adorable.
Jessica Franks - Trolls

Jess, I absolutely loved your trolls. They gave me a huge smile as soon as I set eyes on them. You tinted the candy coating just right and such a creative way to use cotton candy. Definitely a quirky take on spring.

A huge thank to Angie, for taking time out to be involved in our cake pop activity at the foot of Africa. The top three will each be receiving a R500 Yuppiechef voucher and as promised everyone who took part will be getting a little something, so keep an eye on your inboxes. See you all again soon for the next Yuppiechef challenge.
