From The Tampa Tribune comes word of new bakery The Cupcake Spot. Floridians: tell us how their cupcakes are!
CUP THAT CAKE: Cupcakes continue to be the rage in some pastry circles. (Magnolia Bakery and Buttercup Bake Shop continue to slug it out in New York City.) Keep an eye out for the opening of The Cupcake Spot as soon as this week at 2401 S. Dale Mabry in South Tampa. Former PR exec Nicole Rogers plans to offer such delectables as the Chocolate Elvis (banana cake with peanut butter butter-cream frosting and a dollop of chocolate ganache), the Forget Love, I'd Rather Fall in Chocolate (a devil's food cake with a 100-year old butter-cream icing recipe) and Bunny Hops (spiced carrot cake with nuts with traditional cream cheese frosting).
They've got some unique specialty flavors such as:
Autumn Harvest - A pumpkin cupcake with hints of nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon combined with real orange-zest cream cheese frosting.
Pomegranate Passion - Pomegranate infused cupcakes with a raspberry and pomegranate frosting.
Lemon Pucker - Lemon cake with lemon icing (a lemon curd filling makes this irresistible!).
Livin’ on SpongeCake - A Florida favorite, especially for spring time: Key Lime cake smothered in orange cream cheese frosting.
Tuxedo Bites - Just like the Black and White “cookie” these cupcakes marry vanilla and chocolate cakes with their frosting flavored counterparts.
Kentucky Derby Pie - A cupcake version of this Old South tradition: bourbon, chocolate and pecans topped with vanilla cream icing in a pastry shell.
Butterscotch Babies - Delectably buttery toffee cakes with butterscotch icing.
Hot Cha Cha Cha’s - The rich taste of devil’s food cake accentuated with a spicy curry chocolate frosting.
