POM Wonderful

Pomegranate takes the Iron (Cup)cake!

POM Wonderful is a hit at January’s Pomegranate Iron Cupcake Challenge!

The Pomegranate was January’s ingredient for contestants in the Iron Cupcake Challenge, sponsored by Kingdom Cake. Iron Cupcake is a Bay Area-based group comprised of local bakers and foodies who are given a new ingredient each month that they must incorporate into their cupcake creations. POM Wonderful provided our 100% pomegranate juice for guests at the tasting event where the top three winners were chosen.
