Happy New Year everyone! You know what my resolution is?

It’s National Meat On Top of Cupcakes But They Taste Really Good I Promise Month!!!!
Is that true? Probably not. I don’t know who the hell doles out these National Food months- probably some advisory boards or something (how do you get on those anyway?). As an inventor of the Chicken n’Waffles & Buffalo Chicken cupcakes, and being one of the people who put the whole “bacon on a cupcake” thing on the map three years ago, I am grabbing destiny by the horns and using my gravitas to commandeer an entire month in the name of dessert! Why the hell not!
-Chicken n’Waffles Cupcakes!!!
-Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese Cupcakes!!!!
-Elvis Cupcakes with Peanut Butter, Banana & Bacon!!!!
-Yes, They’re Really Delicious! I Swear!!!!
So WHY is it National Meat on Top of Cupcakes But They Taste Really Good I Promise Month? Because it’s time for football playoffs. And when a bunch of people get in a room to drink beer and watch football, you will need food. And there’s only so many bowls of chili and nachos you can consume before your wife makes you start sleeping out on the fire escape.
As you may know, our Chicken n’Waffles cupcakes is rarely released, our Buffalo Chicken one even rarer, and when we do make them they sell out ridiculously quick. Reason being? Well, for one thing our retail locations won’t sell them. Another, if they were available all the time, they’d stop being special and you wouldn’t want to jump all over them when they finally did come out! And most of all, frying hundreds of pieces of chicken in a teensy tiny pot takes foorrreeevvverrr.
But for the last days of football season? Well by golly, we are more than happy to slave over that pot day in and day out, from dusk until dawn, because if there’s one thing that both meat cupcakes and football scream, it’s that WE LOVE AMERICA.
I will never pass up an opportunity to link to Neil Diamond.
Normally, you need to order 4 dozen of these cupcakes to have us deliver them to you. But since they’ll technically be “rotation” for the weekends, you’ll be able to order them with a one dozen minimum to Brooklyn, 2 dozen to Manhattan! (And you’ll be able to pick-up any quantities you want in Manhattan starting next weekend!). This NEVER happens!
So if you’re having people over to watch the games, want to make yourself the most popular guy/girl at the bar, or are just one of those people who’s always wanted to try them, place your order for football playoff cupcakes and brownies ASAP! And if you’re a bar owner who wants to order some for a promotion, email me at Allison at robicellis.com- we have discount rates for businesses ordering in bulk!
Now for the cupcakes heading to stores as we speak- they may not have chicken or bacon on them, or be loaded with 18 types of booze, but they are insanely delicious and will help you stop being bummed that the holidays are over and you had to go back to work this week. We’re there, too. Thank Jebus I have a bunch of Bluths to get me through the ritual of taking down the Christmas tree- it’s so sad!
