from Flickr user Anne Russo - vanilla strawberry cupcake...with strawberry jelly inside
Blogger and Flickr user Aaron Landry, who took the chocolate ganache cupcake photo below, told me about Franklin Street Bakery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Girl Friday did a Chocolate Cupcake Taste-Off and had this to say about their chocolate ganache cupcake:
A "ganache" is a smooth chocolate glaze created by pouring warm heavy cream over chopped chocolate. FSB has separated the two ingredients and topped this cupcake with a fluffy whipped cream frosting and milk chocolate curls. Magnificent! Though the cake is the same recipe used for the regular cupcake above, the saltiness is tempered quite a bit by the creaminess of this frosting. ($2.25) [EDIT: I finished this cupcake today and discovered a dollop of milk chocolate ganache in the center!]
City Pages named them Best Bakery in 2007:
The cupcakes are light, petite, almost silky, and topped with swirls of buttery frosting that stay just this side of decadent.
