Campfire Song, aka, their s'mores cupcake: "Campfire Song: A piece of graham cracker lay at the bottom of moist chocolate cake filled with milk chocolate ganache topped with crunchy graham cracker crust (you need the crunch of course!) and marshmallow topping. Torched to perfection!"

Last but not least, this was for an art and wine cupcake challenge:


"Very excited to be chosen as a finalist for the Hudson Valley Wine Magazine's Grand Celebration Art & Wine Cupcake Challenge! Our submission: Blank Canvas ~ Chocolate Red Wine cake (made with Brotherhood, America's Oldest Winery Mariage, a truly artful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon & Chardonnay), glazed with a local blackberry Mariage glaze, topped with our Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream, decorated with a chocolate easel, fondant blank canvas, and white chocolate red and white grapes. We hope to encourage the perfect union of art & wine, chocolate & vanilla, red grapes & green grapes, and of course the Hudson Valley & the blank canvas within us all."

Molly's Cupcakes Now Open In New York City

Good Golly, Miss Molly is here! Molly's Cupcakes is a very popular Chicago bakery that has expanded to New York. Molly's Cupcakes has opened on 228 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Instead of a big grand opening Wolfie the owner opted for a soft opening. I stopped by Friday afternoon and sampled a few of their centerfilled cupcakes.

Check out the creamy filling inside. These are cupcakes that could be eaten with a knife and a fork especially if you are sharing.





The bakery case is full of fun flavors and they rotate.





While there, you can play some board games. Molly stays open until 10PM on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Follow their Molly's New York twitter for updates.

Cupcake Espresso now open in Newcastle, New South Wales

Another cupcake bakery opens! This one is in Newcastle, New South Wales, and here's more info from Newcastle Herald:

Nathan Wicken and partner Adriana Daley opened Cupcake Espresso last Tuesday

‘‘We figured there was a market for this in Newcastle,’’ Wicken, a trained chef, told GT.

‘‘A lot of the cafes that have opened in the area recently didn’t necessarily specialise in anything specific, so we thought that the cupcakes in particular could be our point of difference.

‘‘We wanted to be a specialty shop, limit ourselves to a couple of elements and hone in on those rather than spread ourselves toothin.

‘‘We think this area has a lot to offer, and I think it’s just going to get better and better around here.’’

The couple had seen how successful cupcake stores had already been in Melbourne and Sydney, and didn’t see why the concept wouldn’t work in Newcastle, too. However, cupcakes aren’t the only thing on the menu.

There is also a range of macarons available, as well as pre-made sourdough sandwiches, pastas and take-home meals.

And some photos and descriptions from their Facebook page:


Turkish Delight - Choc mud cake with turkish delight choc ganache topped with turkish delight and rose persian fairy floss



Espresso - Choc mud cake with espresso ganache centre and espresso buttercream frosting topped with choc coffee bean



Amaretto Cherry - Amaretto cherry cake with amaretto cherry frosting topped with a maraschino cherry



Chocolate - Choc mud cake & choc ganache



Peppermint Choc - Choc mud cake with peppermint frosting and mint choc ganache drizzle
