Mission Inn-based Casey’s Cupcakes and Cappuccinos was the winner of this week’s edition of “Cupcake Wars” on the Food Network.

CEO Casey Reinhardt — stepdaughter of Mission Inn owner Duane Roberts and a participant in the reality shows “The Hills” and “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” — defeated three other bakers on the Hollywood Walk of Fame-themed episode.

Reinhardt used part of her $10,000 winnings for a second shop, which opened in her hometown of Laguna Beach on Valentine’s Day.

Reinhardt will appear at both locations on Saturday, noon-1 p.m. in Laguna and 3-4 p.m. in Riverside. This Friday through Sunday, a special Cupcake Wars Four Pack — featuring the four flavors seen on the show — will be available for $15.

The episode featuring Casey’s Cupcakes repeats at 5 and 11 p.m. Sunday and 2 a.m. Monday.

Click the flavor for the recipe: Lavender Cake, White Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes, Chili Chocolate Cupcakes and White Russian Cupcakes.

Casey’s Cupcakes is located on the Main Street side of the Mission Inn and is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily; for more information, go to www.caseyscupcake.com.
