valentine's day Berkeley Repertory Theater sells cupcakes and somehow I missed them!

One of the best things about being a cupcake blogger is that you start to notice that cupcakes are everywhere, not just at bakeries. They're at the movies and at theaters. One of the worst things is when you find out too late that you've missed a cupcake opportunity. I skipped the concession stand when I was at Berkeley Repertory Theater recently, and therefore apparently missed out on the cupcakes they sell. From their blog, in a post called "Confessions of a concessionaire: a delicious dilemma" by Kate Vangeloff, in which she opines on the cupcake options provided by local bakery Love at First Bite (which I have been to):

We received a new shipment of cupcakes in which there were two, yes, two cupcakes that would have fulfilled my own personal visual requirements to earn a “Cookies & Cream” flavor designation. This new development shocked me, as I was unable to identify the new cupcake as anything other than “Cookies & Cream: Version 2.0.” Being inquisitive by nature, I did some internet sleuthing, and I am proud to announce that I have solved this cupcake mystery.

On the left of exhibit A, you will find the true Cookies & Cream cupcake, notably marked by its rakish, Oreo-crescent chapeau. On the right, you will find what Love at First Bite calls their “Mud Pie” cupcake—a devil’s food chocolate cupcake topped with whipped mocha frosting and Oreo crumbs.

Here’s to knowledgeable cupcake consumption for all!

It was my first visit, and I loved the design of the theater (I was there to see The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, which I highly recommend), so I will definitely be back, with my first stop being the concession stand!

valentine's day More Cupcakes on the Road

In case you haven't heard, More Cupcakes in Chicago recently put its first cupcake truck on the road in late October. In the first few days, they were giving away free cupcakes galore. They are normally on the road a few days during the week and they hit all the city's hot spots. Part of the joy of the cupcake truck is in not knowing exactly where and when it might show up. Sort of like a quiet Ice Cream Man of cupcakes with the silent song of Twitter.

I was able to try the luscious Cookies & Cream Cupcake along with the Coconut Cupcake straight from the truck. One of the features of this van is that there is a lighted display case right on the side of it. How do they get the cupcakes to stay in place while in motion?! It's a mystery.
