Treat’s chocolate banana cupcakes and more custom logo cupcakes

a94511d0ee4b o d 150x100 Treats chocolate banana cupcakes and more custom logo cupcakes

And these are the chocolate banana cupcakes that I bought from New York City custom cupcake company Treat …also delicious! The chocolate on top was a thin layer of very rich chocolate and the banana cake was kindof like a banana muffin, in a good way, dense and delicious. And while I’m here…me and Treat owner Harley with the custom cupcakes with my face, and another closeup. I can justify this not as narcissism but as a recommendation of somewhere to get custom image cupcakes; I had actually asked around local bakeries a while ago and hadn’t found anyone in Manhattan willing to do it (I believe Ivy Bakery in Brooklyn does offer this). So yes, check out Treat if you want your face (or logo, or your dog’s face, or whatever) on a cupcake.

New Godiva Chocolate Cupcakes

d5dd83dfe768dc15 150x112 New Godiva Chocolate Cupcakes

Already a familiar name in the world of chocolate, Godiva has now expanded to cupcakes. I spotted these as they were flying off the table at the 12th Annual Chocolate Show in NYC this past weekend. Even though the Chocolate show is centered around, well, chocolate, cupcakes certainly have a way of tagging along at most events. Unsurprisingly, and not in a bad sense, each bite of these refined cupcakes was packed with full chocolately flavor. As much as I enjoyed the intense taste of chocolate, I had to gather up a gang to help me finish off the rest of the cupcake. Of course, that could also be due to the previous hours of chocolate overload. In any case, chocolate lovers, add this cupcake to your list. You can order them online here as a 6 pack for $28.00 with overnight delivery, which doesn’t make them the cheapest cupcakes around. But for those craving that little extra indulgence, the decision is up to you.

Delivery Success: Georgetown Cupcake

b3ad961ee5796b61 112x150 Delivery Success: Georgetown Cupcake

Anyone who’s dabbled in the live cupcake community can attest to the pains of transporting these fragile treats. Undaunted, Georgetown Cupcake in Washington D.C. is now offering next-day national delivery. Wary as I am about the damage that snail mail suffers, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of care that went into ensuring a safe and speedy passage for this box of seasonal cupcakes. The bright pink box adorned with their signature black swirls is enough to perk up your day before you even get to the cupcakes. Inside, you’ll find that same pink color on the cupcake box, which lies snug between foam cushions on the sides and under ice packs on top. The cupcakes are actually kept safe inside that box in a standard plastic cupcake to-go holder, with a half sheet of cupcake lids capped on top of them for extra protection. One of the reasons why I love autumn is because it marks the use of pumpkin as a popular ingredient. This particular box of cupcakes is the seasonal set, which include Chocolate Hazelnut and Pumpkin Spice. In particular, I couldn’t get enough of the toppings. Crunchy hazelnut pairs perfectly with a thin chocolate icing that…

400 mini cupcakes = 1 giant Halloween pumpkin

ebcd3005fb0de7d9 93x150 400 mini cupcakes = 1 giant Halloween pumpkin

New York’s mini cupcake comopany Baked by Melissa has a fun Halloween cupcake promotion going on. The above version is the 400 mini cupcake pumpkin cake; click here to see the smaller sizes and ordering info. WOW. $280 is a lot of money, but 400 cupcakes are a lot of cupcakes. I think I can safely say that if you had this pumpkin at a Halloween party, people would be very excited to be at your party. Order by calling 212-842-0220 by October 30th. They also have two new flavors: mint chocolate chip and cinnamon. I don’t have my own photo yet but I will soon (see the official photos here ), because my iPhone wouldn’t behave when I tried them. Mint chocolate chip is exactly what it sounds like, and is very minty (which I like). The cinnamon was a surprise to me; it’s very sweet, I’m not quite sure what the frosting is but I’m looking forward to trying it again. I didn’t know if I’d like it but I wound up enjoying it. I have to force myself not to shove the entire mini

Peanut butter brownie bunny cupcakes

These delicious-looking brownie cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (and bunny cookies!) are by blogger Baa Baa, Cupcake, Have You Any Frosting? who writes: They came out deliciously dense and packed with chocolate. I made them into mini-cupcakes since all of the reviews noted that the cuppies were very sweet. It also turns out that I am not a huge fan of foods that make your teeth fall out when you bit into them. I therefore made a couple of changes to the recipe to decrease the sugar content a little bit. I also thought that they would be a nice little treat for people to have during our Friday afternoon lectures. Since the cake is closer to a brownie than a cupcake, you want to fill the liners pretty close to the top since they will not rise that much. Go to the blog for the recipe.
