Pistachio cupcake with whipped cream frosting at Brooklyn Cupcake, plus NYC charity cupcake competition March 25th

This cupcake was delicious! It's a seasonal cupcake at Brooklyn Cupcake; I don't know how long they'll have it, so if you're in New York, get on over to Williamsburg and try it. I fully admit to not being a "pistachio person" but I liked this because the flavor didn't overwhelm you. It was sweet, with more than a hint of pistachio, but not so much that it bombarded my taste buds. And the cake was green! One thing I love, aside from the taste of the cupcakes at Brooklyn Cupcake and the unique flavors, is that they put so much effort into each cupcake, researching, weighing various options and ways of creating any given cupcake flavor. If you talk to the owners, they'll tell you that they truly take the time to perfect each new flavor and make sure it's what they want it to be before selling it. Visit brooklyncupcake.com for more information, and keep up with them on Facebook, because they're constantly innovating and adding flavors.



Also, Sunday, March 25th, at Taj II in the Flatiron District (it's changed from the poster below) they're part of a charity cupcake event in Manhattan to support the group A Young Mother's D.R.E.A.M. - visit Eventbrite for details and to register:

SXSW attendees get 10% off cupcakes at Delish in Austin

I stopped by Delish yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to get 10% off my order! Love that. Cupcakes are $2.75 each or $33 for a dozen, and it's an easy walk from downtown. Find out more at delishaustin.com and follow them on Facebook. All the cupcakes I tried were very rich, the kind that can easily be shared, although when I did, plenty of my friends ate an entire cupcake, easily. I especially recommend the vanilla and cookies and cream cupcakes.
