New York Cream mini filled cupcakes at Baked by Melissa in September

The new cupcake flavor of the month for September at New York’s mini cupcake company Baked by Melissa is New York Cream. I snapped these photos this morning at their Union Square 14th Street location. So much delicious vanilla goodness for just $1 (there are discounts the more cupcakes you buy). If you like vanilla pudding/custard, you’ll love this flavor. Check them out at www.bakedbymelissa.com for more information (they also ship nationwide). As you can see below, “New York Cream” means vanilla cake, custard stuffing, vanilla icing and chocolate drizzle. That really is a lot for a cupcake that you can easily eat in one bite, or, at the most, unless you’re a child or take extremely small bites, two. And this is a little box of three cupcakes I bought, no cupcake sadness this time: Vanilla cream, red velvet and peanut butter cup mini cupcakes

Magic Kingdom- Magic Cupcakes

A Review of Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Vanilla Cupcakes by Klassy Kakes Back in November 2009, I ate a vanilla cupcake in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom theme park. The Main Street Bakery offers several tempting treats. Little did I realize that it would become my holy grail of vanilla cupcakes. My first bite, a cross section cut cleanly with a knife (as all cupcakes should be thoughtfully sampled), was rather unimpressive. As I sipped my coffee and visited with my brother, I just had to take another bite- this time just the cake (as all second bites should be) – hmmm, pound cake. O.k. it’s not some super crazy gourmet specialty flavor. In fact, vanilla is not even my favorite cupcake flavor. So, on to the next dessert- chocolate cake. But the cupcake kept calling me to taste it again. My third bite was a pinch of the frosting (yes, as all 3rd bites should be) – medium consistency, sweet, buttery, typical vanilla buttercream. More coffee. Hmm, maybe I needed to taste the cake and frosting together again- a small bite, not with knife, a natural mouth bite (as all 4th bites should be). …

Critic-Turned-Cook Competes in Cake vs. Pie Contest

You know that sinking feeling when a recipe goes wrong? I felt that flutter in my gut when a portion of my cake slumped onto the plate as caramel icing dripped down three layers—it was a sweet sticky mess. This was after I had spent all day working on my entry for the Cake vs. Pie competition put on by fellow Serious Eats contributor Jessie Oleson at her adorable new Cakespy shop . What had I been thinking when I signed up to represent cakes? I knew my way around a pie, especially after taking a class earlier this year from Kate McDermott , the pie whisperer. I rarely made cake, especially the super-challenging recipe I chose: Ann Cashion’s Caramel Cake . Yet, somehow, I felt I could pull it off. Maybe my cake confidence had a little something to do the time I spent in the Tom Douglas pastry kitchen . It was my very first job in the professional kitchen and it was so daunting, I barely slept the night before my first 6 a.m. shift. I arrived at the doorstep that morning a true flour-phobe. Thank goodness the extremely talented crew was welcoming and my pastry mentor, Phil, put me to work piping rosettes …

Happy Birthday, Happy Dog’s Life

On August 4th, 2010 , two celebrations occurred in honor of one very special, little ” snaggletoothed shelter pup .” ( “Snaggletoothed shelter pup” is how I jokingly refer to Chooey , if you have not figured that out by now ) My mom baked a dog-friendly cake that represented both occasions. But before I get to that, let me make two statements to avoid any confusion : 1.) No, I did not bake the cake. Believe it. I am not much of a baker anymore. 2.) Yes, the cake was 100% dog-friendly. No “dog toxic ingredients” to be found . Celebration #1: Chooey’s 1-year anniversary of being adopted and living a “Happy Dog’s Life.” We adopted her on July 3rd, 2009 , so this celebration was a little late. Celebration #2: According to the veterinarian, Chooey’s estimated age when we adopted her was already 1. So, the veterinarian and shelter employees chose August 4th as her birthday – August 4th is the official birthday celebration date from how on And since my family gets way too caught up in birthdays ( whether they be for humans or animals ), there were lots of presents. Chooey was intrigued, for sure . …And apparently there were many photographs taken of me in the background, donning my pajamas. Oh well. **Happy 2nd birthday …
