Congratulations go out to Ontario's My Delight Cupcakery, which captured the top spot for an amazing third consecutive year at Saturday's (February 4) L.A. Cupcake Challenge.
My Delight introduced a new breakfast cupcake at the challenge: Western Breakfast Cupcake.
How's this sound? Cornbread cake with bacon, sweet corn and a sprinkling of black pepper, honey butter frosting with bacon, a drizzle of honey and a pinch of black pepper on top.
Savory-sweet breakfast not your thing? The bakery also brought Red Velvet Raspberry Cheesecake cupcakes to the competition.

Well, that didn't take long.
Following the closure at the end of the year of all but three eateries operated by HMS Host at the Ontario Mills food court (and those three were slated to close in April), a new lineup is already in place.
We've previously mentioned that Kelly's Cajun Grill will return, as well as a newly-remodeled Panda Express, which was not operated by HMS Host. We've also let you know about two new restaurants, Charley's Grilled Subs and Chicken Connection.
Today we received word that Sbarro and Burger King will remain beyond April following remodeling (sorry Bruegger's Bagels fans), and will be joined by Stone Oven Gourmet Sandwiches and Salads, Sarku Japan and, perhaps best of all, Chipotle Mexican Grill.
That means that there will be five brand-new restaurants and four newly-remodeled favorites.
That's in addition to the standalone Wetzel's Pretzels and Häagen-Dazs, which also are not operated by HMS Host.

Nearly five years after Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market first opened in the U.S., the British-owned grocer is temporarily closing 12 stores.
The Hemet and south Ontario stores are among 12 under-performing markets scheduled to temporarily close in coming weeks. The company hopes to reopen when economic conditions improve. Seven stores in California -- Ontario, Hemet, Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Bakersfield, Baldwin Park and Fresno -- are scheduled to shutter. One in Las Vegas and four in Phoenix are also expected to close.
Owned by British retail giant Tesco, Fresh and Easy entered the U.S. market in 2007, when traditional supermarkets were struggling and laying off workers.

The Ontario Spike's Teriyaki Bowl, 843 N. Mountain Ave., has closed.
I believe that was the last remaining location for the small chain. It appears that at various times, there were restaurants in Colton, Covina, El Monte and La Mirada.
