Updated October 1st.
CupcakeStop owner Lev Ekster wrote in to correct the Vendys quote below and what we posted below regarding the giveaway on October 1st (fyi, we were quoting from the press release we were sent), I'm putting this at the top and below so you can get your free cupcakes:
We'll only be giving out 1,500 custom Animal Planet minis tomorrow starting at 11am, not more than 1,500. We'll actually be parked on 5th between 22nd and 23rd for the giveaway, not the intersection you listed.
The Vendy Awards, for New York City's mobile food carts, happened this past weekend, and cupcake truck CupcakeStop was a finalist, but wound up losing out to Wafels and Dinges.
Here'sowner Lev Ekster's quote the person who nominated CupcakeStop from the Vendys site:
“As a Southerner I speak with authority when I say this Yankee vendor consistently produces top-notch Red Velvet. It’s like finding creamy grits north of the Mason Dixon line!! The constant introduction and rotation of cupcake flavors creates not just a product to be sold but an experience - every morning I check to see what new surprises have been baked overnight. Thank you for making my work life bearable, and giving me a reason to sneak away from my desk for 20 minutes of sunlight and sugar.”
Blondie and Brownie:
As you can see, Cupcake Stop brought every flavor they could pack on the truck. I decided to try their version of the Elvis cupcake, a banana cake with peanut buter frosting, and of course, bacon. I was surprised how moist the mini was, those wee ones can be tricky, and when the Great New York City Elvis Cupcake Competition occurs, and it should happen if only to find out "The King" of the Elvis', this is definitely in the running.

The cupcake stop brought a huge menu of interesting offerings. Based on my time at the cart the red velvet and Elvis (with bacon flakes) were the two most popular varieties. With many women opting for the red velvet and men opting more for the Elvis. The caramel chocolate pretzel was also popular and was my favorite of the 6 flavors I tasted. These cupcakes were superior to most of the cupcakes I have eaten in the last 6 months in New York City. Creative flavors, moist and frosting that is not too sweet!
Spork City has some great photos of the cupcakes.

What flavors did Cupcake Stop serve? What flavors did they not serve is the question. Peanut butter, red velvet, chocolate and vanilla of course, PB&J, key lime, banana pudding, something with bacon, and new for fall, pumpkin.
