Each team consists of a chef and a sous-chef. == Rounds == Each round takes about a third of the completed episode. The first round lasts 45 minutes in competition and is focused around taste. Contestants must create a cupcake with unusual ingredients related to a theme – for example, a date-night theme might require contestants to incorporate various aphrodisiacs, such as oysters, basil, dark chocolate or champagne. The second round lasts 75 minutes in competition and is based on both taste and presentation. Contestants must make three different cupcakes, each showcasing a different taste with an outstanding presentation.〔 The third and final round is the most challenging, with the remaining two teams having two hours to make 1,000 cupcakes. This round lasts 2 hours in competition. Each team must feature improved versions of all four cupcakes they made in the first two rounds, and then showcase them on an elaborately constructed display connected to that episode's theme. Each team receives the assistance of four baking assistants and one carpenter in completing the round. This is the only round that the judges did not taste the cupcakes at the judges table, instead the judges tastes the cupcakes at the display.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cupcake Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
