to move up and down
Monday, January 2nd!
A Happy New Year to one and all! This is one of the only days we take off during the year, so there’s no cupcakes in stores today. But I did get a teensy bit of work done and posted up the January Cupcake Schedule!!! Now you can place your orders for any birthday parties, corporate events, hoe downs or hootenanies you’re planning for this month.
In the next day or so, I’ll be putting up a page for football playoff ordering. Now, I know most of you don’t associate cupcakes with football, but you’d be amazed to know that the bulk of our fanbase are actually MEN (I know! It’s like I just told you I have a unicorn in my garage!). And what man wouldn’t like watching football while eating……
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES CUPCAKES!!!!!
BUFFALO BLUE CHEESE CUPCAKES!!!
MOVERLEY BROWNIES- with walnuts, espresso, and SCOTCH! Or our Maltz brownie made with BOURBON AND BACON!!!
You show up to the bar with a box of Chicken n’Waffles cupcakes, you’re going to be the most popular guy on earth. I promise.
And for those of you who still doubt that real men eat cupcakes?
Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith loves Chicken n’Waffles cupcakes So does the MLB Fancave. So, you know, go tell Ozzie Smith what you think about dudes and cupcakes so he can slap you with one of his THIRTEEN GOLD GLOVES.
If you can’t wait for me to put the order page up, or if you’re a bar who wants to do a bulk order, email me at allison AT robicellis.com so I can get it all set up for you.
Hope you all had a spectacular New Year, and make the most of your extra day off! Back on Wednesday!
You know what? I lied about the whole “going to bed” thing just a second ago. Because why would I be allowed to go to bed when there’s still so much work to do?!?!?!
But this is very important stuff- because there is an ULTRA LIMITED AMOUNT OF BUFFALO CHICKEN CUPCAKES HEADED TO DEKALB MARKET.
Yes, that’s right, Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes. You may remember them from earlier this year, when they went by the name of “The Hot Josh”. We named them that after one of our super-fans, Josh Mueller, who we love dearly. And then some dirtbag had to go and name a sex act “The Hot Josh”, so when you Google it, the first thing you see is the sex act, and the next thing is our cupcake. So thanks to a couple of jerks who wanted to embarrass some other Josh, OUR Josh gets shafted.
And do yourself a favor guys- don’t look it up. It’s really gross.
The Hot Joshes that don’t make it to DeKalb will be at the NYC Food Film Festival, where we’re a nominee! How awesome is that! We’ll be a part of the Taco Takedown with our good friend Danny Macaroons, so if you’re looking for something awesome to do today, this is the thing.
And NOW I am going to bed so I can be a vision of radiance for you all at the Food Film Festival. I really hope they’re serving coffee.

One Day Pop-Up Saturday 1/29- Introducing THE HOT JOSH!!!
It was awesome seeing so many of you at the last pop-up we did at the beginning of January. We had a ridiculous response last time, and were so happy to be able to do so many of our more “extreme” flavors again. And as we opened up the PARK HERE project, we thought it would only be right if we came back to close it, with possibly the most ridiculous cupcake that has ever been created……
The Hot Josh
Celery root & carrot cake with Point Reyes blue cheese buttercream and citrus tinged Buffalo chicken.
This is the cupcake idea that Matt and I have been fighting over since October of ‘09, wondering if it even should exist at all. We’ve received countless emails and tweets from fans egging us on to do it, with me personally vetoing it every time. Well, this weekend my husband turns 30 years old, so to celebrate I’ve relaxed my stance and will be making the most controversial cupcake of our marriage. Because I’m a thoughtful wife like that.
I really have no words to describe the Hot Josh. It’s a culinary acid trip; something that engages you, messes with your head and at the end of it all is completely unforgettable. I actually feel a little abused by this cupcake, to tell you the truth. It’s like that time I saw that movie where at the beginning I totally thought I knew what was going on, then I thought that there was going to be a twist and I had figured it out, then by the end I was just COMPLETELY wrong and was so confused and disoriented by the whole experience that I was rattled to the bone for days. I still cannot see anything about “Maid In Manhattan” without shuddering just a little.
If you’re wondering about the name, it’s for one of our fans who had heard Matt mention this cupcake about a year ago, and has been campaigning relentlessly for it ever since. So everyone, thank @loungeaxe for this one!
Also on tap for this weekend:

Chicken n’Waffles
(because if we don’t make these for every event someone will probably stab us)
Vanilla “waffle” cake, vanilla buttercream, buttermilk soaked fried chicken dunked in pure Vermont maple syrup
El Guapo
Sweet corn cake, cilantro lime buttercream, Iowa yellow kernel popcorn
The Sarah
Apple spice cake, goat cheese buttercream, salted honey-almond brittle
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel
Chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream, crushed pretzels, ganache drizzle
I hope lots of you can make it, and I look forward to seeing you all! Please do make sure to wish Matt a very happy birthday, and REALLY emphasize the fact that he’s 30 now. I’m only 6 months older than him, but he’s spent these past 6 months calling me “Cougar Chops”. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed that.
