You may have seen an earlier posting of mine where I told you about my first famous cupcake tasting. Magnolia Bakery, New York City. Their cupcakes are cute, and pretty tasty, but, I'm not convinced they are quite as good as mine. BUT, Magnolia did lead me to the fabulous discovery of whipped icing.... ahhh my one true icing love.
Now the cupcake tour continues...
Last year I was in New York for a work conference... and wouldn't you know, this year the conference is taking me to yet another rather famous cupcake city. Vancouver!
You may be thinking, Vancouver has famous cupcakes?! Well, if you've watched the W Network lately, you may have seen a little show called 'Cupcake Girls' giving viewers a behind the scenes look at a franchise called Cupcakes by Heather and Lori, that is currently based only in British Columbia.
I watch this show all the time. It gives a good business perspective of running a bake shop. I also like to drool over the pretty cupcakes and watch the fun new flavors the bake staff comes up with. So while I'm in Vancouver, I will DEFINITELY be making a trip to a cupcakes shop, and see what their product is all about. I will still be in Vancouver next Sunday, but hopefully I get to post some updates.
If you are a fan of the show, and watch regularly, maybe you've seen the episode where they have staff from all the stores get together and bake up some new flavors and everyone tastes them to see what should become new additions to the menu... this episode made me drool, so hopefully I will get a chance to try the passion fruit, french toast and oh honey cupcakes... Eeep! I'm so excited!!!
Alright my darlings, lots to do, things to pack, baking to finish up... I'm off for now...
Until next time,
Happy baking, caking, and decorating (oh, and tasting, can't forget the wonders of tasting)!
Love and sprinkles, xoxo
