Another cupcake bakery opens! This one is in Newcastle, New South Wales, and here's more info from Newcastle Herald:
Nathan Wicken and partner Adriana Daley opened Cupcake Espresso last Tuesday
‘‘We figured there was a market for this in Newcastle,’’ Wicken, a trained chef, told GT.
‘‘A lot of the cafes that have opened in the area recently didn’t necessarily specialise in anything specific, so we thought that the cupcakes in particular could be our point of difference.
‘‘We wanted to be a specialty shop, limit ourselves to a couple of elements and hone in on those rather than spread ourselves toothin.
‘‘We think this area has a lot to offer, and I think it’s just going to get better and better around here.’’
The couple had seen how successful cupcake stores had already been in Melbourne and Sydney, and didn’t see why the concept wouldn’t work in Newcastle, too. However, cupcakes aren’t the only thing on the menu.
There is also a range of macarons available, as well as pre-made sourdough sandwiches, pastas and take-home meals.
And some photos and descriptions from their Facebook page:
Turkish Delight - Choc mud cake with turkish delight choc ganache topped with turkish delight and rose persian fairy floss
Espresso - Choc mud cake with espresso ganache centre and espresso buttercream frosting topped with choc coffee bean
