Local food critic Ann Lemons Pollack reviewed the Cupcake War Winners and picked the Miami Spice as her favorite of the four.

"I'm hard pressed to choose a favorite, but Miami Spice, a passionfruit cake with raspberry jam filling, and a frosting of mango whipped cream, a bite of passionfruit candy, and a hit of ghost chile salt certainly pushed all the right buttons for those of us who love a little heat in unexpected places," she wrote.
