Dippidee: Vanilla Cupcake with Vanilla Mousse Filling
Dippidee is a bakery located in American Fork. They say they are the place of sweet surprises and yes, I would agree. I really like this bakery and just get happy when I enter. I hadn’t really paid much attention to their vanilla cupcake until this month. ..and I’m glad I did because I had a wonderful experience.
Ahhh look at this little colony of vanilla cupcakes! Isn’t it a glorious site? I’d say when you order a cupcake at Dippidee you really are digging into a dessert pretty much. Their cupcakes are usually filled and this increases the amount of richness and obviously size!
Dippidee’s vanilla cupcake is filled with a vanilla mouse filling. It’s not just filled a bit, these cupcakes are overflowing with vanilla mouse!
One thing I like about Dippidee is that they bake their cupcakes in these white traditioal souffle cups. I think they are the only bakery/cupcake business that does this to my knowledge. I like it and think it makes them different as far as recognition. I asked Marcee, the owner, or Liz, the business manager what made them decide to use these white baking cups and they just said it’s because Marcee’s family has always done it that way.
You should know that this bakery is a family business. I love family-run bakeries! Most of their recipes have been passed down from generation to generation in Marcee’s family. In fact, her mother comes in to bake! 
The cupcake has a generous, but not over-the-top amount of frosting. The cake was heavy/sturdy enough to support the filling and frosting on top.
I love pulling and popping the white baking cups apart to unveil the cupcake. Yes, these souffle cups really do make a popping noise. Here’s Dippidee’s vanilla cupcake basking in the sunlight. The bakery has A LOT of natural light coming through.
And, here’s the cake after I so pleasantly took a bite from it. You’ll notice that the mousse filing more of a yellow color to it. Isn’t this a pretty cupcake (inside and out!)
The Vanilla Mousse really balanced out the cupcake. I found myself wanting the buttercream with or just after a bite of the vanilla cream filling. Their textures and consistencies were very different. I loved it. Then combined with the thick, yet almost spongy cake ….it was just perfect. I should also mention that this cupcake is usually chilled. And I enjoy that. It’s kinda cool with the buttercream not being so melty.
Oh and I must tell you about the smell. It just smelt like butter! Good butter! Butter baked the right way into cake form!
Ahhh look how impressive this is. I took this shot of it almost a year ago before I had even tried it!
Dippidee describes their vanilla cupcake as…(info via their blog)
“Its our classic vanilla cupcake! This cupcake is made with the best ingredients including pure vanilla. The cake is moist and dense and jammed pack with our yummy vanilla mousse filling. To top it off we use a swirl of our famous butter cream frosting. Yummy yummy! We have been told by some customers that this particular cake turned them into cake eaters, it’s that amazing.”
This is my favorite picture I took of this lovely vanilla cupcake.
All in all, this was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with a cupcake from Dippidee!

Mini’s Gourmet Cupcakes: Vanilla Cupcakes
I’m happy to give you my first cupcake spotlight for Vanilla Cupcake Week over here at Utah Loves Cupcakes!
I find it only appropriate to start with the vanilla cupcakes from Mini’s Cupcakes, since they were the first cupcakery here in Utah!
Let me also say that I really enjoy Mini’s. I love their committment to local, I love that they are expanding a bit (they have a second shop in Sugarhouse) and I honestly love, love , LOVE the size of their cupcakes! These cupcakes are right between a standard US mini and a regular size. Her pans come out of Europe and owner Leslie Fiet believes it is the standard size there. It’s about four good, and might I add delicious, bites!
Okay, so on to Mini’s vanilla cupcakes. See them below!
Aren’t they adorable! Mini’s offers two vanilla cupcakes. One is pink and one is blue! And catch their names…
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
and Pretty in Pink! How adorable, right!
Both cupcakes are identical, besides their decor. The cake is a Madagascar Vanilla Bean cupcake and the frosting is crème cheese! The Breakfast at Tiffany’s cupcake is topped with edible gems and the Pretty in Pink cupcake is topped with pink and clear sanding sugar I believe. (Honestly, I didn’t even realize that they were the same cupcake until this month! I wonder which one sells better? 
)
But to give you a better idea of what love and care goes into these cupcakes I asked Leslie Fiet, owner of Mini’s to tell me a bit more about them. She said,
“Mini’s Vanilla Bean Cupcakes are made from scratch, using Lehi Roller Mills unbleached flour, unsweetened applesauce, locally farmed eggs and dairy. We use a specially created professional bakery emulsion that adds a hint of citrus and butter undertones that enhance the Madagascar Vanilla. The result is a dense and very moist cupcake with a light vanilla taste, without that overly sweet artificial vanilla taste. A true vanilla cupcake experience not hidden under artificial flavorings. “
I have had this cupcake many times and here’s what I like about it.
*Size – again, you can’t beat this size of cupcake!
*Pretty factor (inside and out) The vanilla beans inside are really pretty and tell me quality ingredients are being used.
* Cream cheese frosting with the vanilla bean cupcake. I really don’t think you find this type of frosting with a vanilla cupcake. It’s a really nice pairing and I think it’s what makes Mini’s vanilla cupcake different than the others.
I’ll admit I’ve had some hesitations with this cupcake. The first time I tried it felt as if it were on the drier side, I thought this might be because of the beans. (don’t vanilla beans dry out cakes?) But then I kept trying it, and it’s been moist every time since. (must have just been that one time…) And each time I get it now, I appreciate the taste and quality more and more.
Do I recommend buying this cupcake and trying it out for yourself? You betcha!
Quick Facts to Remember:

What makes a good vanilla cupcake good?
I’m bout ready to kick off vanilla cupcake week tomorrow! So before I start feeding my content, photos and opinions to you, let me ask you this question:
What makes a good vanilla cupcake good?
(PS: Can you guess where this vanilla cupcake is from without clicking on the link?)
New Seasonal Flavor at Mini’s Cupcakes: Black Forest
One of my favorite things that a cupcake bakery can do is to rotate flavors and add new flavors seasonally. Mini’s Cupcakes in Salt Lake City does this on a regular basis and I love it!
The newest seasonal flavor at Mini’s Cupcakes is a black forest cupcake flavor.
Check it out, isn’t it pretty?
I recently headed up to Mini’s to see what it was all about. On their Web site, Mini’s describes this black forest cupcake like this:
“It’s a chocolate cupcake, filled with a cherry reduction, frosted with fresh creme topped with a cherry.”
After trying it, here’s what I thought/ my review:
Cake: I enjoy Mini’s chocolate cake. It got a good solid chocolate flavor and a bit of random and almost-fudge chunks of chocolate spread throughout.
Frosting: I knew I wasn’t going to be a huge fan of the frosting since I am not one for whipped cream fan for cake. But I’m sure those of you who do like whipped cream and obviously it’s a nice pairing for black forest cake with the chocolate and cherries. I’m giving the classic line, “it’s not you, it’s me…” here.
Filling: The site lists filling as a cherry reduction and the employee told me to compare it to a curd. After tasting it, I think I say the better description is a reduction or maybe even just pureed cherries. If I remember correctly, there was also a whole cherry somewhere in there, maybe not. If there was (it’s been a while, forgive my memory) I liked it!
Overall: Give this cupcake a try! It’s the perfect size and not a huge calorie commitment for an indulgence! Chances are you’ll probably like this more than I did. (Again, I am not the biggest black forest cake and whipped cream lover.)
Have you tried Mini’s black forest cupcake yet? Tell us what you thought!
PS… Don’t forget to head to Mini’s and help them decide their newest cupcake flavor. You could win free cupcakes for a year! Read more about it here!
5 Cupcake thangs to do in Utah this Weekend!
Okay, so I’ve slacked off a bit on this blog since Tuesday. Can’t help it, but I’ve been a bit sick.
If your looking for some cupcake thangs to do in Utah this weekend here are my suggestions!
1) Sundance Film Festival – Watch a film, watch celebs and eat a cupcake from The Sweet Tooth Fairy!
The Sweet Tooth Fairy will be temporarily setting up shop within the Main Street Mall (333 Main Street) in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
2) 101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 Minutes – cookbook book signings!
Wendy Paul has made a very cool cupcake cookbook that will save you time, money and give you much praise! I haven’t personally made any recipes from this book yet. (I am so ready to try her rootbeer float one!) But my good friend Elise aka The Cupcake Activist has and you should read what she has to say about it here!
The book is going to give you lots of (101) ideas of how to make gourmet cupcakes, most if not all, I believe are recipes to doctor up a store-bough mix.
Go grab a copy of the book and have Wendy sign it herself!
Here’s the schedule for this weekend’s signings.
January 22 (FRI) 6-8:30 pm OREM COSTCO signing event
January 23 (SAT) 11-2 pm MURRAY COSTCO signing event
Can’t make it? Buy the book on Amazon, here!
Do you own this book? Have you made any recipes? Let me know!
3) Eat the Vegas, Baby! cupcake from Les Madeleines ..or any other cupcake or my non-cupcake favorite Kouing Aman!
One of my favorite cupcakes in Utah is this Vegas, Baby! cupcake from Les Madeleines. It’s a Vanilla Cupcake with Red Hots in the middle. (View the inside here!) Cream cheese frosting with real white chocolate sprinkles. Romina said on twitter yesterday that they have lots of cupcakes right now…so um…take your pick (cupcake menu here) and let me know which one you had. BUT if they have the Vegas, Baby! cupcake…you best take my recommendation!
4) Have a late night cupcake dessert at The Chocolate Dessert Cafe in Orem!
I know I keep mentioning this dessert cafe. But it’s because I keep falling in love with the idea of it more and more! My husband and I went last weekend after ice skating for a hot cocoa (tell them you want it with spices, like when they did Christmas in a cup!) and a mini chocolate caramel cupcake! Seriously, this is quickly moving up my little “best cupcakes in utah” list!
5) Get excited for Vanilla Cupcake Week on Utah Loves Cupcake!
Two Vanilla Cupcakes from Mini’s Cupcakes in Salt Lake City
Next week I’ll be putting a HUGE cupcake focus on the vanilla! I’ll be featuring and reviewing various vanilla cupcakes from around Utah. I’m going to attempt to pick my favorite and maybe the best vanilla cupcake in utah. (It’s going to be hard!) I’ll be sharing vanilla ingredients and tips. Most of all, I’d love to hear from you about vanilla cupcakes. (I’m talking to you at-home bakers and cupcake enthusiasts AND you professional cupcake bakers) If you have a great recipe or a review of your own…email me or comment! It’s going to be a fun week!
{Strawberry} Cupcake Shortcakes
In hopes to help get me through the ugly January that exists on state street in Utah, I bring you the cupcake shortcake. I found this on Real Mom Kitchen and it looks delicious…and easy!
Here’s what you need:
Cupcake Shortcakes
Cupcakes, prepared from a box cake mix (I like the golden vanilla flavor, but white and yellow also work)
sweetened whipped cream
strawberries
sugar
Now head on over to Real Mom Kitchen to see how you make it!

Cupcake Cookie Jar turned Cupcake Tip Jar
This adorable and giant cupcake cookie jar makes it home at Provo’s newest cupcake hangout, The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe. This picture was taken on their friends and family night. I automatically fell in love…
then two days later I found it being used in a new way.
a cupcake tip jar. LOVE IT! Now, your wondering..what? I have to give a tip on my cupcake? No. I’m assuming these are for the cocoa bean drinks. I’ll be honest, I’d probably never tip on a cupcake unless it was the best cupcake I’d ever had in my life. EVER! …and I’m a huge proponent of cupcakes.
…but i would tip on a drink.

Favorite Cupcake Flavor {so far} from The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe in Provo!
The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe has almost been open for a week now here in Provo. I’ve got loads and loads of pictures and things to say about this new hip hang out.
But until then I’ll say this. If you go get the following:
This freaking-awesome-nutella-smacking-raspberry-jam-topped-with-the-tang-of-cream-cheese cupcake!
Or more commonly known as the Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake cupcake!
It’s a jumbo size, priced at $2.75. Be prepared to share and grab a fork. It’s good.
Why I like it:
* Chocolate cake is good and moist, reminds me of a good texas sheet cake in cupcake form
* I am a sucker for anything Nutella
* I love raspberry jam (especially after a summer of helping grow and pick raspberries)
* the cream cheese offers the perfect balance to the above flavors
* and there is a fresh raspberry on top! (win-win)
oh…and if you can handle any more chocolate richness. Get the faux frappe called LOVE POTION! It’s like a chocolate covered strawberry in beverage form!

Gluten-Free Cupcakes in Utah!
I spotted these cupcakes at The Good Earth store in Orem, Utah. They are from Charlottes Bakery.
Charlotte’s Bakery is a small family-owned operation nestled beneath the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City. They wholesale their cupcakes and other gluten-free products to stores in Utah, California and Idaho.
I must try these pronto! Also, in the same vein, you may want to check out this post on Cupcakes Take the Cake about if people can really tell the difference between a regular cupcake and a gluten-free one.

Roasted Cocoa Beans

We are able to preserve the natural cocoa flavor that gives our drinks a bold, rich and roasted flavor. Served hot, chilled over ice or blended into a frozen creamy delight sure to cool you down.

With over 40 tantalizing flavors, you’re sure to tickle your taste buds with gourmet flavors like Raspberry Chocolate Cheese Cake, Ultimate Brownie and the one and only- Better Than Whatever, to name a few.
