Call for Amateur Bakers! Cupcake War Added to this Year's Sacramento Chef Challenge
Calling all Sacramento area amateur bakers! Are you ready for a sweet challenge?

But to join the battle, we want to see what you've got! Why are your cupcakes the best? Show and tell us by making a 3-5 minute video and uploading it to YouTube!
Want to submit a video, but don't know where to begin? Here are a few examples of videos we are looking for:
