On Tuesday, the cookware kings  Le Creuset had a cupcake cook-off in their new shop at the V&A Waterfront.  Nine restaurant chefs participated in the event, where the challenge was to create a cupcake that worked with the colour scheme of a le Creuset pot.  Simone and Stefan from Babel represented Babylonstoren, and they were allocated pots in the Dune colour.

Not to be daunted by a challenge, they rose magnificently to the occasion, creating this cupcake masterpiece, and… they won!

Their prize was R15 000 for a charity of their choice and they chose to give this to the Babylonstoren Trust, which raises funds for local community projects. This Trust is also where the R10 entrance fee you pay at the Babylonstoren gates is donated. Many thanks to Le Creuset for this fun and worthwhile event.
