My friend Andy Horwitz of NYC arts website Culturebot just so happened to be going to Israel. Tel Aviv, in fact, the home of Cupcakes, which is actually a custom cupcake company, not a bakery (no storefront). I didn't realize that before.

These cupcakes are Oreo cupcakes as well as special blue and white ones for Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day. About the Oreo ones, Andy emailed me, "The oreo ones are oreo.... delicious!!!! yummy filling inside, light tasty icing." (No, they are not kosher for Passover, so it's a good thing I wasn't there.)

Andy was kind enough not only to snap the above photos, but also to do this interview with Ofer:
