Join us Saturday at Brooklyn Cupcake for guava, tres leches, coconut and more delicious cupcakes!

Our next meetup is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this Saturday at 2 pm at Brooklyn Cupcake! Hope you can make it. Next month is our 7th anniversary party (7 years, woo-hoo!). And our Cupcake Cruise is happening next summer. So many exciting cupcake things going on. Today I stopped by Brooklyn Cupcake because, despite living in Williamsburg, I hadn't been before. It was delicious, with cupcake flavors I've never seen before, like guava con queso, cozy and features great cupcake art. I'm excited about the meetup. Their cupcakes are $2.50 each (6 for $13.50) and they have 16 flavors, with a few special ones on occasion, and tiramisu on the weekends. You can also follow them @BrooklynCupcake on Twitter and on Facebook.

Join us this Saturday, November 5th, at 2 pm!

We're visiting a new local cupcake bakery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Cupcake. Inspired by Latin-and-Italian mixed family-owned and operated bakeshop offers flavors ranging from flan and guava con queso to tres leches (filled with three kinds of milk) and tiramisu. We will be giving away two cupcake stands at the meetup!







I bought 6 to try:

peanut butter chocolate and guava con queso cupcakes

Oreo cookie and rainbow cookie cupcakes

apple pie and coconut cupcakes - a guy sitting there told me that the apple pie cupcake was the best and I liked it a lot but...coconut was my favorite! Real pieces of coconut, plus a creamy delicious coconut frosting and a vanilla cake. That one was divine. They were all good but if you're a coconut fan you have to check it out!

Cupcake Crawl on Urbandig App

 If you attended our September meetup, then you know we did a cupcake crawl covering five bakeries in the Soho and Greenwich Village neighborhood. Now you can do the tour on your own by downloading the new free iPhone app, UrbanDig.  Download the New York City guide and you see photos and tips for the "Cupcaked". Here are some screenshots that Jackie, our event assistant took of the app.

Cupcakes Take The Cake Visits The Chew

Last Wednesday, a few of our Cupcakes Take The Cake Meetup members went to a taping the new cooking and food chat show on ABC, 'The Chew'. Led by Jackie Nadel, our assistant Meetup coordinator, they went to ABC Studios to attend a live taping of the show which premiered last week. They got to take a picture with the executive producer, Gordon Elliott. You may remember him from his 90's talk show, The Gordon Elliott show. The hosts of the show are Mario Batali, Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, Daphne Oz and Michael Symon. Arlene of Polkadot Cupcake Shop in New Jersey brought a dozen cupcakes to share with the hosts of the show.
