Chopped

We’re currently very interested in cooking competition shows: “Chopped”, “Cake Wars”, and “Man versus Child” are our favorites. They have reawakened Joaquin’s interest in the kitchen and today he asked me to give him a 45-min Chopped challenge. So I gave him a mystery basket with lavender flowers, goat cream cheese, a kiwi, and a pear. He baked and garnished two cupcakes, presented them to the judges, and acted as one of them to taste and evaluate his product.

—Whose dish is on the chopping block?…
