Buttercream, the roving cupcake truck!
Pobox.com and Listbox.com were lucky enough to be selected for Philadelphia’s newest cupcake purveyor Buttercream’s Bring A Cupcake To (our) Work Day, and the results were sweet!
Cupcake captain Kate brought 2 varieties of her cupcakes for us to try, a yellow cake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
I have two pet peeves when it comes to cupcakes: dry cake, and bad frosting-to-cake ratios. (Ok, “bad frosting-to-cake ratio” is code for “not enough frosting”.)
Buttercream is ready to jump to the top of Philly’s cupcake selections with moist, moist, moist cakes, and a healthy dollop of frosting. I was initially loath to name a preference between these two, but an hour or so later, I had a craving for another peanut butter cupcake. Also, I like that her frosting is centered in the cake, not slathered to the edges — I am always sad when I leave frosting on the wrapper, but I look kind of foolish if I try to lick it off.
Due to permitting issues, Buttercream cupcakes are only available for special orders at this point. To find out when the cupcake truck will be hitting the streets near you, follow @ButtercreamPhl on Twitter!
