OREO CUPCAKE FROM ALICE’S TEA CUP!
So, I went to Alice’s Tea Cup on the East Side for lunch the other day. There was a schedule mix up, so my girlfriend who was supposed to be working, was not. But, as I was standing at the counter something NEW caught my eye! Something BIG and chocolate with large pieces of Oreo mixed in. I asked the hostess at the counter what this new addition was, and she confirmed my thoughts. An OREO CUPCAKE! Now, everyone knows that Blondie’s favorite piece of cake in NYC is from Alice’s. I just blogged about it last week. So, to have a new cupcake that incorporates the richest chocolate cake with an Oreo buttercream was all I needed to hear. It just so happened that I needed a dessert to attend a dinner party, so I bought three! (They sell for $3 each, but are very large) I was also told that there is a marshmallow filling inside the cupcake!!!! I could not wait for dinner to be over so I could dunk this form of OREO into my mouth!!!
Just like twisting an Oreo cookie apart to reveal the creamy cener, I cut this cupcake in half. As you can see the generous amount of filling is exploding out of the cupcake. The Oreo buttercream is a thick layer with huge pieces of Oreo cookie mixed in. The cake was rich and dense enough to withhold the filling. Alice’s buttercream can do no wrong and adding Oreo chunks sent me to dessert heaven. I have yet to see this cupcake at the UWS location so head over to the UES (64th and lex) and try an Oreo cupcake. xoxo Blondie
