Q. When did cupcakes become the latest craze?
A. Just like everything else, it’s a popularity following and has seemed to become the best way to have a slice of cake!
Cupcakes have been around forever. I remember when my mom used to bring them to our school holiday parties – and they were homemade! Today there are cupcake bakeries everywhere displaying the most exotic flavors on the menu. Check out Cupcakes Take The Cake on top cupcake bakeries in the US.
I’ve been in search of the best cupcake in Houston and I’m proud to announce that Ooh La La in Katy (where I live) bakes-up the best in the area! They even got top honors recently in the Houston Cupcake Smackdown. There are two others that I have visited Sugarbabies and Crave I was not impressed with the quality, quantity and price point at Sugarbabies –too much for too little. Crave was okay. Taste was good, but again too much for too little.
My favorite at Ooh La La is the Velvet Elvis, red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting - YUM! I took my friend Rachael there a couple of weeks ago and she and her kiddos loved the place. What’s not to like about a giant cupcake!
Today’s Cyber-site is a site I found browsing for cupcake recipes. She has some interesting cupcakes with great displays. She hasn’t posted any updates recently, but there are some great recipes on her blog – 52 cupcakes (maybe she has reached 52 flavors).
You know what else is getting popular – cake pops. Check them at on this blog site Bakerella. This is a great idea for kid’s parties, just a couple of bites, no mess, and easy clean-up. I love the spring chicks idea and see myself making these for Easter.
Enjoy a little baking this week and try a recipe on one of the blogs mentioned!
