Quick Cupcakes
1) The "Little Lolita" cupcake at Grocery is really good although it sounds a bit unusual: chocolate & ancho chile cupcake with goat's milk caramel-cream cheese frosting topped with chopped chile toffee peanuts! What a great combo! (Thanks K!)2) We also liked the peanut butter chocolate cupcake at Grocery. The chocolate cupcake part was very soft and flavorful. Apparently they make a peanut butter & jelly cupcake?
3) We split a mega Lavender cupcake from Flying Monkey Patisserie in Reading Terminal. The icing was smooth and deliciously infused with lavender. The cake part was a little dry but otherwise tasty.
4) The first recipe i tried from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World was the Chai cupcakes! They smelled so great while baking (be thought i was making carrot cake due to the spices!) and tasted very yummy too. I'm definitely going to make more cupcakes from this book (plus the "Faustess Cupcakes" from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's other book, Vegan with a Vengeance).
5) A while back, we were gifted some cupcakes from The Night Bakery in Germantown. They were very delicious and i particulary enjoyed the lemon cupcake!
6) I tried the vanilla cupcake from Naked Chocolate Cafe which was very tasty as well. Note if you're part of Philly Carshare, the desserts are 2 for 1 with the special keytag!
7) Lastly but not leastly, we LOVE Tartes. It's this tiny little house on Arch between 2nd and 3rd Sts in Old City ... and they churn out the BEST cookies, cupcakes and baked goods ever! The only night they're open late is First Fridays, otherwise you have to go early. I can't recall everything we've tried. I just remember it's all been excellent.
