Daddycakes Cupcakes of Topeka, Kansas didn't make the cut on the recent episode of "Cupcake Wars" but it certainly was a lifelong dream come true for Daddycakes owner and baker Allyson Fiander.

In the first round Allyson created the "Salt Water Taffy," described by the Topeka Capital Journal  "as moist white cake, frosting that tasted like salt water taffy and a ring brown sugar infused with seaweed and sea salt."

Other Daddycakes cupcakes included  the "I Love Lemon" cupcake, the  "Black and White Peppermint Tuxedo" cupcake; and  "Blue Hawaiian" coconut cupcake with banana filling."

Appearing on The Food Network from thousands of competitor's nationwide ain't too shabby!

Congrats on your television appearance Allyson!
