From the inbox: All proceeds from next Monday's Iron Cupcake Chicago Challenge at Smashcake will benefit the Maher sisters of Cakegirls, who lost their shop in a fire Monday. The Iron Cupcake Challenge is an "Iron Chef"-themed monthly competition, only scaled down to cupcakes. Attendees can sample all the baked goods made for the challenge for a flat $5; typically 8-12 different cupcakes are made depending on participation.

Smashcake is located at 2961 N. Lincoln Ave. The Iron Cupcake Challenge starts at 6 p.m. April 5
