New Menu Item

We love January.  Is that weird??  Most Western PA folks hate January, because it means bitter cold and snow, and not the magical Christmas snow.  We get that.  January snow is worse than December snow.

But we love January.  It's usually a slower time of the year for us (yay diets that last until Valentine's Day!!) so it gives us time to recharge after the holiday rush and gear up for a new year.

This year, we decided to shake things up a little too.

Every January we try to focus on adding something new to our menu.  We weed out what doesn't work, and add some new flavors and ideas to inject some new creativity into our brand.  Last year we added cheesecakes to our menu.  The year before, spritz cookies.  It's a revolving door of ideas.

This year it wasn't a new menu item, per se, but a new flavor.  Somehow in all of our baking and flavoring love, we didn't really have anything caramel flavored on our menu, except for our bacon toffee cheesecake.  So we decided to change that.

Introducing: Our Salted Caramel Cupcake!


This thing is a sight to behold!  It's a rich butter cake with caramel icing on top (we make the caramel from scratch, too, just to make it that much better) and topped with sea salt.  It's light and delicious, and we don't know how it took us until this long to add this to our menu.  No seriously, we don't.

We had some taste testers this weekend take this cupcake for a test drive, and all of them came back with thumbs waaaaaaaay up!  So if you'd like to get in on the fun, order some of these for yourself today.  Trust us, you'll wonder where this has been your entire life.
