Coccadotts back on Cupcake Wars

The bakery's first appearance on the show -- in 2011 -- was filled with drama, including a failed batch of cupcakes that got them bounced in the first round.

How the show works: four bakeries compete over the course of three rounds to create cupcakes that somehow relate to a theme set by the show. One bakery gets eliminated with every round.

The theme for Sunday's show: "Tiffani Thiessen's Birthday Bash." Yep, they're making cupcakes for Kelly Kapowski's birthday. We can only hope she likes Buffalo wings.

Coccadotts has organized watch parties in Colonie and Clifton Park for the episode.

Trying the Super Bowl-themed cupcakes from Coccadotts

Touchdown?

As you might have seen, Coccadotts in Colonie has followed up its Buffalo wing cupcake with a whole line of Super Bowl-themed cupcakes: salsa and chips, beer with lime, pepperoni pizza, cornbread and chili, and chocolate covered pretzel.

Because we know that you love nothing more than having us eat odd things so you don't have to, we got all six cupcakes this week and tried them.

That's right, Anderson Cooper, we had the guts to do something you didn't.

So, bring it on.

What a sad case. It's very difficult to find a developer with the resources, vision, and commitment to take on a costly and risky project like St. Joe's. It's a shame that the hidebound conservatism of the neighborhood stymied the first and only realistic, pragmatic, and frankly very cool, project to come along in many years. I hope the church and the neighborhood gets one more shot, although I'm not optimistic.
