North Boone High School hosts ‘Cupcake Wars’ baking competition for culinary students

BELVIDERE, Ill. (WTVO) — Culinary students at North Boone High School showcased their skills in a “Cupcake Wars” baking competition on Thursday.

The competition was formatted just like the TV show, with students given a theme and then two hours to plan and bake.

The theme of Round One was “Game Night.”

“We thought of board games we played when we were kids, and Candyland came up. So, we just went all out with candy and stuff that we knew,” said Kristy Reitz, who, along with Kylee Carpenter, won the first round.

“Bunch of sweets. We made our homemade lollipops. We made really tiny ones, stuck them on top of the cupcakes,” Carpenter added.

The creations were then judged by community members and a bakery owner.

Other local businesses donated prizes for the winners.
