This week’s episode of Bobby Flay Throwdown is a repeat from season 2. Bobby went up against Terri Wahl, the owner and chef of Auntie Em’s Kitchen in LA. Terri used to play guitar in an all female punk rock band. Now, she sells 250 cupcakes per day (over 700 on weekends and holidays), in 4 flavors: coconut, dark chocolate, carrot cake, and, the most popular, red velvet cupcake. Terri’s cupcakes have won accolades from LA Times and others. But surprise, surprise: Bobby Flay won!

Bobby Flay made Gingerbread Cupcakes with Caramelized Mango Buttercream (click here for the recipe).
Resident Foodies say: This has to be one of the most shocking victories for Bobby in the history of Throwdown. At the start of the show, Bobby barely could put a cupcake together, while Terri Wahl was acclaimed as one of the best, if not the best, cupcake baker in LA. But Terri was a great sport about the judges’ verdict and praised Bobby’s cupcake for its excellent and unique flavors.
