Salt Lake City has a new cupcake bakery called Mini's Cupcakes specializing in, yes, mini cupcakes. We were tipped off by the blog Your Heart Out, which says:
The new Mini’s Cupcakes is dainty and feminine and sweet: everything you want your cupcake shop to be. This place serves up lots of fancy shmancy cupcakes, but our favorites are those with basic flavors, like the semi-new Breakfast at Tiffany’s cupcake: Vanilla cupcake with Tiffany blue vanilla frosting, topped with edible gems. It’s as cute as it sounds. And tasty, too.
They also have a a previous post up about Mini's.
Here's what Mini's website has to say:
In 2006 over the Christmas Holiday I was craving a coconut cupcake from my favorite shop. I went on-line to order some, not available, so I called. Much to my disappointment they did not deliver. I called three more shops in NYC and one in San Francisco, all had the same answer, "we do not deliver outside our area."
This made me mad because I really wanted a really good cupcake. I figured that if I wanted an upscale, not from a box sweet treat then others would too. So I started baking. Hundreds of recipes and over 1000 cupcakes later Mini's emerged. In my research, yes I was forced to eat 100's of cupcakes, I found most were way too sweet, had way too much frosting, and were often dry. So, I created what I think, and so do others, to be the best cupcakes. My cupies are not too sweet, very moist, and have an overall balance with the amount of frosting to cake ratio.
Why Mini's?
I like the idea of a "mini" cupcake, not too many calories, not so big you get sick eating it, and small enough that if I want to try two or three flavors, what the heck. And just as important, I drive a Mini Cooper and I love it!
Look for an interview here soon with Mini's Cupcakes!
