NYC diner Deluxe hosting cupcake festival

Exciting! Glad we're hearing about it before it ends. New Yorkers: behold, a cupcake festival. From The Columbia Spectator:

Hey Columbia, we’ve got a treat for you. Literally. Our home-style diner Deluxe (2896 Broadway between 112th and 113th streets) is hosting their first ever cupcake festival. From now until September 18th, the restaurant will sell handmade cupcakes baked by their renowned pastry chef Regis Courivaud for $3 each...This is the first time Deluxe is sharing their cupcake recipe with the world, and they might add the dessert to their regular menu depending on customer responses. So far business has been good—they’ve sold over 200 cupcakes since the festival started on Monday.

Meatloaf, chicken/waffle/bacon, vegetable and macaroni and cheese cupcakes were on the menu at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek!

These savory cupcakes were actually on the menu at Cupcake Lovers Weekend July 9 (I didn't see it in time or I'd have posted it) at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek last weekend! Wow wow wow...if they do it again I totally want to go. Descriptions via Bonnet Creek Blog.


This fun creation (above) is made of ground beef and pork, topped with a cream potato frosting, English peas and a roasted tomato BBQ sauce.


This is a vanilla waffle “cupcake” base, topped with a creamy maple bacon frosting and popcorn fried chicken.


This amazing treat is made from roasted asparagus, mushrooms, tomato and spinach, all baked in an egg custard and topped with tomato cream.


This take on traditional mac and cheese starts with macaroni baked in a velvety creamy cheese sauce and piped with a mascarpone cheese and chive frosting.

Cupcakes at You Don't Bring Me Flowers flower shop/cafe in London

I wasn't expecting to try cupcakes last Sunday, but my friends and I went to You Don't Bring Me Flowers, a flower shop/cafe in Hither Green, where we had sandwiches and dessert, including cupcakes, on their outdoor patio on a beautiful day. They had an assortment of sandwiches, snacks and sweets, including these pretty and tasty vanilla cupcakes!
