Red velvet Hello Kitty, white chocolate cheesecake and festive holiday cupcakes at Brooklyn Cupcake

I snapped these special red velvet Hello Kitty cupcakes the other day at Williamsburg's Brooklyn Cupcake, and tasted their new holiday flavor, raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. I was a little concerned when I saw "white chocolate" that it would be super sweet, but because their frostings are either cream cheese based, like this one, or whipped cream (or ganache), it was sweet but not overly sweet. The raspberry went very well with the frosting. I haven't had their egg nog cupcake yet, but I have had their chocolate peppermint, which has a chocolate ganache frosting and pieces of candy cane on top, and it's very good. All their cupcakes are $2.50 and they also do custom orders. Check out the cute holiday cupcake display in their window too! Visit brooklyncupcake.com or their Facebook page for more information.
