Robicelli's

Today we’re bringing back a flavor we haven’t done since last March: The Aris.  It’s named after one of Matt’s old friends, Aris Boustikakis (or at least we think that’s how you spell it).  He’s been a very good friend to my husband since their days back in PS 160.  He’s also the only Greek guy we know who’s name is pronounceable and isn’t “George” (because that’s just not a sexy name for a cupcake- our apologies to all you Georges out there).  We also apologize to our friends the Mavromoustakoses, Britsimizakises and Krasinakises- who’s names are all way too long to get on our Greekest cupcake. 

Also today we’re honoring our good friends Jen & Liz with their namesake cupcake “The Liddabit”, celebrating the drink that got Matt & I engaged with “The Car Bomb”, and just plain making Rum Raisin.  Nothing really special about that last one aside from it being tasty.  Sorry rum & raisins.

“The Aris”:  Honey-walnut cake, orange tinged Greek yogurt buttercream, glazed walnuts, salted honey drizzle

“The Liddabit”: Chocolate cake, salted caramel & nougat buttercream, roasted peanuts, ganache & caramel drizzle

“Car Bomb”: Chocolate Guinness stout cake, Jameson whiskey ganache, Bailey’s Irish cream buttercream

“Rum Raisin”: Rum raisin cake, vanilla buttercream, rum-soaked raisins

It’s an ALL NEW FLAVOR WEEK!  Can you stand the excitement?!?!?! 

Matt and I began planning a candy-inspired series months ago, with the intention of breaking it out on Halloween.  Thing is, we came up with something like 20 different flavors, and aside from the obligatory pumpkin cupcake, that left us with three slots.  So we picked three of our favorites, and will be rolling out all the rest over the next few months. Last week’s flavors, which got lots of press and lots of love, will be appearing lots over the next few weeks, so don’t worry if you missed them- they’ll be back soon!

We’re also adding TWO new stores this weekend- one in upper Park Slope, and one in our old stomping grounds of Red Hook (we miss you guys!).  We’ll post more in-depth about those places tomorrow, but make sure you check them out!

NEW!!!  Pumpkin Caramel:  Pumpkin spice cake with caramel buttercream, candied pumpkin seeds, caramel drizzle & sea salt

NEW!!!  Hazelnut Kiss (as inspired by Baci*):  Chocolate hazelnut cake with Nutella buttercream and ground hazelnut prailine

NEW!!!  Coconut Bliss (as inspired by Almond Joy*):  Coconut cake with coconut almond buttercream, roasted almond and dipped in chocolate ganache with coconut flakes

NEW!!!  The Liddabit (as inspired by Snickers*, & named for two of our favorite chicks):  Chocolate cake with caramel-nougat buttercream, crushed peanuts and drizzled with chocolate and caramel
