Wegman’s Cupcakes: An unexpected “Go here”

Wegman's Cupcapkes

Wegman’s Cupcakes you say? I found myself in Somerset,NJ this weekend visiting my awesome Jersey peeps, yelped the area for bakeries and found only one that was promising but it had the oddest hours… One review (on a bad bakery) mentioned Wegman’s as a much better option for baked goods. So when my friend texted me asking if I needed anything from Wegman’s, I quickly replied  “yea, cupcakes! please.”

Those pretty cupcakes above are what I found on her counter top waiting for me! Don’t they look great?

The one with the Raspberry atop was, of course, Raspberry buttercream with Chocolate cake, a classic winning combination. The buttercream must have had a good amount of puree in it because it tasted amazing and so fresh, the chocolate cake was moist and good.

The Lemon cupcake, while incredibly cute wasn’t as amazing as it’s berry counterpart, the Lemon in the buttercream was very faint so the butter taste was somewhat overwhelming, the vanilla cake under it, however, was fresh and tasty.

Based on other supermarket cupcakes I’ve had before, these aren’t even in the same category and honestly these were better then some cupcakes I’ve had here in New York. Have you ever had cupcakes from Wegman’s? What did you think?

Lost Cupcakes behind the scenes

…or the cupcake elusive Dharma Van.

This awesome van, was supposed to be on my cupcakes, if it hadn’t refused to transfer to my fondant circles. My plan was to trace the resized image onto Wax Paper with the Food Writer and then transfer it by pressuring the fondant circle on it!  Look at how cool it looked traced.

Traced Van.

Lost Cupcakes!

…or fun with Food Writers.

More about these tomorrow! I’m busy watching LOST!!! I will say however my favorite is ” I love you Penny” and my least favorite is the “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” because the writing wasn’t that neat.

Cherryspoon has a new layout!

By Ms. Cherryspoon | May 12, 2009

I’ve switched to a three column layout!

And now I’m off to a crazy stocked Baking Suply Store called Kerekes, if I never come back look for me under the a pile of fondant! I’m trying store bought for the first time!

So many exclamation points!

ps: Still not happy with the header image though, but I will take a break.

Soutine Bakery: a Manhattan “Go Here”

By Ms. Cherryspoon | May 11, 2009

Soutine's Store Front

Soutine Bakery has been in the Upper West Side of Manhattan for over 20 years and hubs and I tried it out after watching Star Trek (for only 6 bucks a pop at the Loews Lincoln Center before noon:mini tip for you!). It’s a charming tiny place with an ice cream cart up front marked Soutine, if it weren’t for that, you could walked past it, we almost did.
