Marietta Square pastry chef Mamie Doyle will appear on national television tonight, competing on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars.

The co-owner and namesake of 2-year-old Miss Mamie’s Cupcakes, Cakes and Such will try to win $10,000 against three other cupcake makers on an episode called “Cupcake Couture,” airing at 8 p.m.

The goal is to create a 1,000-cupcake display for a VIP event for Pastry Shoes, a brand created by Vanessa and Angela Simmons, the daughters of Run DMC’s Reverend Run.

Assisting Doyle in the competition kitchen is Miss Mamie’s employee Erin Sintos.

“Appearing on Food Network is the most exciting thing that has ever happened in my life, and I could have never imagined competing in a baking competition on national television when my brother and I opened the bakery just two years ago,” Doyle says in her blog.

Miss Mamie’s is holding a free viewing party for the show at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre. The doors open at 7 p.m., and Doyle promises plenty of cupcakes and a “special surprise” on the theater’s fourth floor after the show.

For more information, call the bakery at 678-290-9811. For a mouth-watering reminder of the tasty treats you can expect tonight, check out the review of Miss Mamie's we ran in February.

If you miss the party and the 8 p.m. broadcast (Channel 57 on Comcast), you'll have chances to see it at 3 a.m. Monday and 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Doyle isn't the first Mariettan to take a shot at Food Network fame. Last year Justin Balmes, a butcher and fishmonger at Harry's Farmers Market, competed on Season 7 of Food Network Star but was eliminated after four episodes.
