April Cupcakes

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

It’s the start of Spring here in VT and that means MUD. Lots and lots of mud.

MoHo Mud Cakes

So we’ve created a MoHo (short for Mount Holly for those not in the know) Mud Cake cupcake. It’s a dark chocolate cupcake, made with lots of strong coffee, topped with toasted home made marshmallows, chocolate ganache and a sprinkling of toasted coconut.

I’m working out a MoHo Mud Cookie too, which I think would be a tasty treat even when it’s not actual Mud Season.

lemon raspberry cupcake

We’ve brought back our very popular Lemon Raspberry cupcake. I haven’t had one yet, but they are calling out my name every minute of the day.

Lemon buttermilk cake filled with raspberry jam, topped with Lemon Swiss Meringue buttercream and a some pink sprinkles. I won’t use fresh raspberries until I can pick my own locally. Until then, it’s jam and sprinkles….

coconut almond cupcakes

Coconut Almond Cottontails. Delicious coconut almond cake with an almond scented cream cheese frosting, rolled in even more coconut.

These will be switched out to Margarita Cupcakes after Easter. Lemon/Lime buttermilk cake filled with lemon/lime curd, topped with a tequila spiked citrus buttercream and a lime wedge (cookie). Can’t wait for this one!

maple cupcakes in mount holly

Our Maple cupcakes have been super popular lately. We can’t seem to keep the shelves stocked. This month they are topped with a hand iced maple leaf cookie. Love the red sugar.

stout cupcakes

This was a special order of Ganache frosted stout cupcakes topped with a green dot cookie.

I’m off to restock the cupcakes and make a batch of pastry cream for Boston Cream Pie cupcakes, I got a bottle of Vanilla Bean Paste that I’m dying to try out.

I hope the weather is better wherever you all are, because it’s just miserable here. I keep asking myself, and anyone else I can find, “do you think we’ll ever see the sun again?”

And here’s another question, I’m heading to NYC soon and wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a great Dim Sum in Chinatown? I’ve been reading some articles and everyplace has wildly varying reviews. Like “this place is amazing” all the way down to “warning, we all got sick”

We’re meeting up with an online friend and I don’t want to screw it up by making us all sick the first time we meet!!

    Mmmm, those top ones look just divine!

    I’m not an expert on new york, but adam at the amateur gourmet, and seriouseats.com often have a lot of tips.

    I cant remember if I’ve already asked you but how do you fill your cupcakes? I ended up cutting the middle out to do some but it was a bit time consuming, I was thinking of maybe using an apple corer…

    Vanilla paste is amazing. I used to teach baking classes that made it easy for me to try out new King Arthur products at no cost to me. Miss those days…sort of.
