Peach Blackberry Cupcakes, Two Ways From Angel Cakes

I stumbled upon a photo of cupcakes on Tumblr and I found Jen Angel's Flickr and then I read about the Cupcake CSA. Wow! First thing first.  Angel Cakes in San Francisco has a monthly Cupcake CSA.  Cupcakes are delivered to your door and can be vegan if you prefer.  This month's cupcake is peach blackberry which is pictured above. Check out Angel Cakes on Twitter and Facebook.

Vegan s'mores cupcakes with double the marshmallow and chocolate curls on top

If you've been reading this blog for even a month you know that I have a weakness for all things s'mores. All things marshmallow, really, but I love s'mores and I do see a fair number of s'mores cupcakes online but I don't encounter them very often in my cupcake tastings, and I think more bakeries should offer s'mores cupcakes. These look amazing. And they're vegan! And mini - though they look bigger than what I think of as "mini" but that could be the angle of the photo. That just means if they were in front of me I wouldn't feel as bad about eating 5. Or all of them. They're by Angel Cakes in San Francisco (via Flickr), and you can get more info on them in this blog post which I will also quote for you:

First up, s'mores. I've been wanting to do them for a while and had been debating - chocolate cupcakes with icing and graham cracker topping? Or graham flavored cupcake, maybe with a chocolate ganache (to mimic the melty chocolate of smores) plus frosting? I *know* - really important questions, right?

Well since the other flavor I was doing was fruit, i wanted one with a dominant chocolate flavor, so I took a dark chocolate vegan mini cupcake with a vegan vanilla buttercream, a piece of graham cracker, and a dark chocolate curl. I am very happy the way they turned out - very modern. They were quite popular, and a number of people commented that they liked the crunch of the graham cracker. I'll definitely try the reverse, because the idea of a dark chocolate ganache is so tempting!



And the fruit cupcakes referred to are strawberry balsamic cupcakes:

Purple heart cupcakes will always win me over (plus peach blackberry and salted caramel)

There are certain things on a cupcake I'm an instant sucker for: Hello Kitty, marshmallows, owls (though Nichelle thinks "bees are the new owls"). Hearts are one of them! These are so simply and pretty; I love elaborate cupcakes, too, don't get me wrong, but sometimes the simply ones just speak to me. These are by custom cupcake company Angel Cakes in San Francisco, via Flickr.



Even better? Lots and lots of them. They're red velvet mini cupcakes.



I'm also pretty into these peach blackberry cupcakes:



Last but not least, chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel are their flavor of the month for July! And coming up, for their cupcake of the month club members, via their blog:

Next month the flavor will be peaches with cream cheese brown sugar frosting! And you know they will be good because California peaches are AMAZING in August. The delivery date is August 10, and you can place your order through August 8 to receive that delivery. All the info is here.
