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!
