Monday night, I had the pleasure of attending Black Atlas' preview dinner of Red Rooster Harlem. Red Rooster is Chef Marcus Samuelsson's new restaurant. The menu is his take on Southern/Soul/Comfort food. I was lucky to sit at the same table as Actress Cicely Tyson who I was too afraid to speak to, so I just smiled politely during dinner. Dinner was delicious, but the big surprise was when the wait staff brought trays of mini cupcakes, Red Velvet and Lady Baltimore. I think the red velvet cupcakes had a little white chocolate in the cream cheese frosting which was a little twist on a classic. I was not familiar with the Lady Baltimore cupcake, but it reminded me of fruitcake and ambrosia that my grandmother would make when I was a kid.
Here's a link to blogger Raspberry Eggplant's Lady and Lord Baltimore cupcake recipe.
