I went to an Indian Restaurant in Palo Alto today, and when I was done dining, I asked the waiter if he knew of any good cupcake places. He looked at me like I was crazy. "Cake? In a cup? That sounds very strange!" I had never thought of cupcakes as exotic before.
The other day, I found a giant Japanese Kabocha pumpkin at the Farmer's Market. I roasted it, pureed it with some sugar and spices, and created some cute little cakes topped with vanilla buttercream icing and edible flowers.
If you're planning a party, or just need some sweet snacks, think about ordering some cupcakes. Email me at katiespastries@gmail.com!
