Even though champagne grapes are tiny, they are packed with flavor. I love how dainty and sweet looking they are and I have been itching to incorporate them into a cupcake flavor. I've never made a grape cupcake flavor so I did what I always do when I'm stumped...I started "researching" (which is really just a good excuse to spend a lot of time scouring food blogs, food gawker, tastespotting, etc.). I stumbled upon the below photo from Lemon Fire Brigade (I'm pretty much obsessed with this blog now) and was completely inspired by the champagne grapes with honey spoons and arugula.
For me, the above pic translated into a vanilla champagne grape honey mint cupcake ~
Vanilla cake, filled with honey mousse & champagne grapes, topped with honey sweet cream cheese frosting, mint honey glaze and more tiny grapes.
Our second new flavor this week came from Kevin's head. I've written this before and now you'll know it's comfirmed - Kevin loves whipped cheesecake and is always thinking of new ways to work it into the cupcakes!
Chocoalte cake, stuffed with butterscotch cheesecake, topped with sweet cream cheese frosting & butterscotch.
I made this especially for Kevin :)
