Cupcakes in Kansas City, MO: Cupcake a La Mode

Another new cupcakery! At a time when every day seems to bring more layoff news (and by "seems to bring" I mean "brings it and more") it's wonderful to see the cupcake world flourishing.

Cupcakes from Cupcake a La Mode

From alt weekly The Pitch's Fat City blog:

While this is Clark's first foray into a physical storefront, she spent four years operating a word-of-mouth cake business called Over the Rainbow. "I made all these different flavors but the cupcakes that kept selling were chocolate and vanilla, so I thought why not open up a store and feature just chocolate and vanilla?"

That translates to 16 varieties of cupcakes, eight with chocolate as a base and eight with vanilla. There's Hawaiian Honeymoon, a vanilla cupcake that Clark ices with pineapple buttercream before finishing it off with macadamia nuts and white chocolate. On the chocolate side is the After Dinner Mint, which features a white chocolate peppermint buttercream icing and grated semisweet chocolate. She also plans two flavors of the month, such as this month's champagne cupcake for Valentine's Day.


Here's what the bakery says about its cupcakes on their site:

Let's face it- cupcakes are not just for kids anymore! What was once a typical classroom party treat has become a very trendy dessert savored by even the most sophisticated palates.
