I had the pleasure of getting some cupcakes from Miami's Cupcakes Nouveau delivered to me last weekend. (See our interview with the owners here.) I'll do a full Miami cupcake report this weekend (I tried them from 3 places) but the ones I had from them were very good. I had wanted to try their guava-filled ones but discovered I'm probably not as much of a guava-lover as I liked, but the consistency and way it was filled was delicious. The other one I tried was chocolate cake with some kind of yummy cream inside; there were two more but they got eaten! My 4 cupcakes were resting on a bed of mini marshmallows in a round tin (photo coming soon) and were all so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat them and mar their loveliness.
Anyway, they are also on Flickr where they're showcasing some amazing cupcakes. They do not have a storefront, but specialize in custom cupcakes, perfect for weddings, parties and other events. Here are some of our favorites of their photos:
St. Barts farewell party
This cupcake order consisted of Vanilla Elegance (Madagascar Vanilla Bean cupcakes with a Swiss Meringue Frosting) and Chocolate Chic cupcakes (Chocolate cupcakes with a creamy chocolate center, topped with a French Vanilla Buttercream Frosting). The party was for a girl going away to medical school in St. Barts. The cupcakes were decorated with seashell chocolates, displayed on a bed of brown sugar "sand", on top of a blue "ocean" fabric, with fondant flip-flops.
Bridal shower cupcakes:
Janessa's Bridal Shower Cupcakes consisted of Southernmost Cupcakes
(Key Lime cupcakes with a Meringue Frosting) , Autumn Spice Carrot Cupcakes (Carrot cake cupcake infused with Cinnamon and Nutmeg, topped with a Cream Cheese Frosting), and Romeo & Juliet cupcakes (Guava filled cupcakes with a hint of almond, topped with a Cream Cheese Frosting). The cupcakes were designed to match the bridal shower invitation.
Strawberry shortcake cupcakes:
Chocolat Chic cupcakes (Chocolate cupcakes with a creamy chocolate center, topped with a French Vanilla Buttercream Frosting) and Romeo & Juliet cupcakes (Guava filled cupcakes with a hint of almond, topped with a Cream Cheese Frosting) designed for a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party.

A Paint Ball cupcake pull-apart cake!
Lucas and Lorenzo's Paintball Pull-Apart Cupcake Cake consisted of Vanilla Elegance (Madagascar Vanilla Bean cupcakes with a Swiss Meringue Frosting) and Chocolate Chic (Chocolate cupcakes with a creamy chocolate center, topped with a French Vanilla Buttercream Frosting). Fondant was used for the bullseye and gumballs were used as the paintballs.

Seems to me a bitter fellow cupcaker that cannot let a fellow cupacker share the spotight.
