Frostings, a cupcake shop in Short Pump, will be featured on the Season 4 premiere of the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" at 8 p.m. Sunday.

The show pits four teams of two bakers against one another for three rounds, where the teams have to bake cupcakes based on a particular theme. One team is eliminated after each round, and the winning team receives a cash award and has the honor of baking for a large event.

Matt Fraker, one of Frostings' owners, couldn't talk about the show, because it's already been taped. He did say that his shop auditioned for Season 1 in February 2010 but didn't make it.

The show called back this August and asked whether he was still interested. Filming took place in Hollywood, Fraker said.

Frostings is at 11331 W. Broad St., Suite 137, in Glen Allen. Phone (804) 360-2712.
