This is the rare PEACH GHOST CHILI CUPCAKE. It is made with butter, sugar, peaches, and Bhut Jolokia- one of the hottest peppers on earth. And it’s freaking delicious.
This, plus our Spicy Panda cupcake (chocolate habenero), spicy whoopie pies, spicy brownies and more (non-spicy) baked goods will be available this Saturday, only at the 20th Annual Chile Pepper Fiesta at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

BEHOLD El Melocoton de la Muerte- aka our famous PEACH GHOST CHILI CUPCAKE! In the event you don’t know, Ghosts are the world’s hottest chili pepper.
Yes, this cake is spicy, but it’s still edible. By combining it with sweet peaches and our rich decadent buttercream, the heat is tempered just enough that you can appreciate the rich smoky flavors of the pepper, while slowly enjoying the burn. It’s not for frat boys, but not for p****ies either.
Limited edition- appears tomorrow for Cinco de Mayo exclusively at Robicelli’s at DeKalb Market!

This is coinciding with the opening of PARK HERE in the space, an indoor park space. From Eater:
“NOLITA— From January 7th to the 30th, Park Here, a pop up event, will take over an empty white box of a space on Mulberry Street. The space will include an indoor park with trees, grass, and food carts. An organizer explains, “We’ve curated a unique schedule of events, programming will include yoga in the mornings, open-to-the-public lunches with street vendors selling their delicious cart foods, and then foodie-oriented events like movie nights on the lawn and an UrbanDaddy pop-up dinner series.” [EaterWire]”
Our pop-up will be open from 11am til 6pm, this Saturday the 8th only. After that, we have no idea when the next appearance of most of these flavors will be- it could be months!
Hope to see all of you there with your party hats on!
