Doris Day Cupcake at Mini’s Gourmet
Vanilla may be my favorite flavor of cupcake. But sometimes nothing beats a seasonal cupcake! I love cupcakeries that offer seasonal favorite. They often conjure memories a particular season and heck, they give us something to look forward to. Right now Mini’s is offering a DORIS DAY cupcake! Here’s what owner Leslie Fiet said on her site:
“Our new Seasonal Favorite is here! The “DORIS DAY,” it is a buttery sweet yellow cake filled with chocolate pudding (made from scratch) and topped with fresh sweet cream. I think this one is a hit and may stay as a permanent fixture to our offerings. I am also considering selling our chocolate pudding as well, it is amazing! Jell-o it is not….
I am experimenting with traditional cake favorites for a new 1930′s collection, when you come in ask what I baked that day.”
If you head over to Mini’s, snap a pix and we’ll get it on the site! Or leave a comment linking to the picture!
Cupcake T-shirts
So far, I think So Cupcake and Mini’s are the only cupcakeries/bakeries that have their own shirt. (Please, correct me if I am wrong)
I think it’s about time I start my collection…
