CUPCAKES AND CORDIALS: For those
who stopped by Bottles and Cases on Feb. 14, it was a Valentine’s
Day filled with cupcakes and cordials, as the folks from Blondie’s
Bake Shop (90A Washington Drive, Centerport, 631-424-4545,
www.blondiesbakeshop.com) showered customers with tasty mini-treats
paired with cordial suggestions. Pairings were: chocolate
cake with white chocolate butter cream – with Ashling
White Chocolate Irish Cream; Guinness chocolate cake with
whiskey ganache and Irish cream butter cream – with Ashling
Irish Cream; lemon cupcake with tart lemon curd filling topped
with meringue – with Buccia di Limone Limoncello; and
coffee cupcake with mocha frosting – with Buccia di Sambucca.
The Foodies’ favorite was the lemon cupcake/limoncello
pairing. Heaven! We’re hoping the cupcake comes in regular
size, because we took a bottle of limoncello home.
A NEW WAY TO GET YOUR COOKIE FIX: Crumbs Bake Shop (11 Wall
St., Huntington, 631-421-4500, www.crumbs.com) is supporting
the Girl Scouts of America with their Girl Scouts Thin Mints
cupcake, which was introduced Feb. 8 on National Girl Scout
Cookie Day. It’s a devil’s food cake filled with
fudge and topped with mint cream cheese frosting edged in
chocolate cake crumbs, with a Thin Mint cookie right in the
middle. It’s also a good time to remind you that Girl
Scout cookies are on sale once again, so check with your local
troop or visit www.girlsscoutcookies.org to find out bow to
find an authorized vendor for your Tagalogs and Samoas. And
for you smartphone owners, there’s even an app to help
you track down your favorite cookies.
