THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!! EVERYBODY GO OUT AND BUY ALL THE BOTTLED WATER, BATTERIES, CUPCAKES AND BOURBON YOU CAN!!!!

Thank you, New York Daily News, for reminding us about the trye potential horrors of this storm- FROZEN SQUIRRELS.

Because we want to make sure that if you have cupcakes to keep you happy while you’re trapped inside during the Snowtorious B.I.G. or whatever ridiculous thing they’re calling it on Foursquare at this point, we are hitting the road before dawn today, meaning as you read this there are more than likely cupcakes close to you right now. And other people could be out there stocking up on them, and by the time you get to the store all that will be left is canned mushrooms and expired Tang. Moral of the story is that you should totally blow off your job right now and start panicking, because we need to have PRIORITIES at a time like this!

Know what’s going to make this blizzard extra special? It ALSO happens to be Chinese New Year. Meaning that two of the cupcakes out today are of the once a year, get them before someone else does because you won’t see them again til the Year of the Horse flavors. Come Monday we get to our once a year Mardi Gras flavors, then Valentine’s Day with more limited edition flavors and our one night only dessert pop-up at the Owl’s Head. You should probably be planning your upcoming menus around all that news while you’re trying to figure out what to make with the 14 jars of relish and dried beans that are left at the supermarket.

NOW BACK TO PANICKING, AND FLAVORS!!!

Posting the blog a bit on the later side because apparently when the Giants won last night, the entire internet broke.  Seriously, I had to live without Twitter for, like, twenty freaking minutes! It was awful! How were any of you supposed to find out what I was eating, or if I was itchy, or if I was saying “Yay Giants”? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!!?!

For those of you who were disturbed by my Twitter silence, I assure you- I WAS saying “Yay Giants”.  Pinky swear.

It means more if you sparkle.

Not that we’ve survived til Monday morning and our precious internet has come back, we were anticipating posting something big, but, um…..we’ve got nothing.  I mean, I’ve got SOMETHING exciting to tell you, but it’s not going live til this afternoon, and I’ll be out and about when it actually happens.  I hate it when I have exciting stuff to talk about and I can’t do anything about it just yet. Blargh.  More of a reason to follow me on Twitter where I can bring you exciting cupcake developments as they happen while I’m standing on line at Ikea or fighting over $1.99 a pound pork chops at Waldbaum’s.

Regardless of all that nonsense, IT’S A SUPER EXCITING CUPCAKE DAY! It’s Lunar New Year, meaning it’s time to release TWO super limited edition flavors- like “we made them for today, and then you have to wait til next year to get them again”.  With the Giants, the New Year, and the return of the internet, you’ve got THREE things to celebrate right now, and celebrations need cake, right?

Clockwise from front: Black Sesame, Green Tea Mandarin, Creme Brulee, Dark Chocolate Dulce

Black Sesame: Black sesame cake, vanilla buttercream, white and black sesame seeds

Green Tea Mandarin: Mandarin cake, green tea buttercream, honey glazed mandarin orange

Creme Brulee: Vanilla cake, vanilla custard buttercream, caramelized sugar

Dark Chocolate Dulce: Dark chocolate cake, dulce de leche buttercream, dark chocolate ganache, Maldon sea salt

Kung Hei Fat Choi!  We’ve got a special limited edition flavor coming out today just for the lunar new year- meaning that after this week it goes back into the vault until next year. It uses two types of green tea (the nutty gunpowder & fragrant matcha) and mandarin oranges, which should be eaten to bring abundance & good fortune.  So if you eat one of these cupcakes & strike it rich this year, we are going to take TOTAL credit for it (and, of course, 20%, minus cost of the cupcake). 

We’ve got exciting news- the PARK HERE pop-up at 201 Mulberry has been extended, and we’re returning for the next two Saturdays!  We’re still working out tomorrow’s menu since it was pretty last minute, but we guarantee at least one brand spanking new flavor, and the last appearance of THE HOT JOSH for a good long while (we HAD to bring it back right before the Super Bowl!).  We’ll post more on this later today once we’re done with all our deliveries- which of course you can track on Twitter.

Since we couldn’t get into our kitchen during the ice storm, we did all our baking today, making for a very labor intensive day and a pretty long night.  I’m really freaking tired right now and can’t be my usual jovial blogging self, so it’s best we get to flavors before I say something dumb and completely embarrass myself.  I promise to write again soon and only slightly embarrass myself then.  Onto flavors!

Green Tea Mandarin:  Gunpowder green tea & mandarin cake, gunpowder & matcha buttercream, honeyed mandarin orange

Duckwalk:  Vanilla cake, blueberry port & mascarpone buttercream, port soaked wild Maine blueberries

Tiramisu:  Espresso soaked cake, espresso ganache, mascarpone buttercream, cocoa powder

Chocolate Turtle:  Chocolate cake, salted caramel buttercream, candied pecans, caramel & ganache drizzle
