I’d definitely choose the Cafe Collection. |
When these cupcakes arrived at my door, I had to take a picture right away or I would have had to take a photo of an empty box! As you can imagine, these were devoured the very same day they arrived. I cannot tell you the last time I have had cupcakes before this. We don’t have any cupcake shops where I am from…maybe that’s a good thing because I would be tempted to stop in weekly. These cupcakes from Cupcakes Gourmet were shipped quickly and arrived looking delicious. This is the Cafe Collection: Madagascar bourbon vanilla cake with a light espresso buttercream frosting, dark chocolate cake with mint buttercream dipped in dark chocolate ganache, and peanut butter are the highlights. To tell you the truth, I didn’t think the espresso flavoring would be a tasty flavor for a cupcake, but dang, it hit the spot. The espresso flavor was subtle, but still gave me the coffee house feeling. My favorite was the Chocolate/Mint cupcake. I know many are addicted to Girl Scouts’ Thin Mint cookies. Well, this is Thin Mints times 100!I love the story of Cupcakes Gourmet, because it was started by Busy Mom’s like us. The story makes me want to put on my apron and whip up a batch of cupcakes and decorate them all pretty, but of course they wouldn’t be nearly as yummy (or pretty) as Cupcakes Gourmet.
Cupcakes Gourmet embodies the joyful and celebratory side of
life. Fittingly enough, the company has its roots in celebration.
In early
2006, Maki’s daughter Chloe was born. The first two weeks of Chloe’s life were
uncertain and fraught with major health concerns; doctors suspected she had a
rare eye cancer. Miraculously, Chloe’s eye cleared up, and turned out to be
perfectly healthy. In celebration of that miracle, Maki marked Chloe’s first
birthday with a party, baking over 100 cupcakes for the occasion. The beautiful
and delicious cupcakes were such a hit that Maki began thinking about opening a
cupcake business. Soon after, Maki’s close friend Heather was asked to provide
food for a large church event. Heather decided to make cupcakes and enlisted
Maki’s help to design them. The two of them enjoyed their creative collaboration
so much that they decided to forge a partnership.
Cupcakes Gourmet wanted to treat one lucky mom to ANY of their gourmet collections. Yum!
