Posted by MC Spicy under: Contemporary Events!! .
If you are looking to Buy cupcakes online then you’ve come to the right place. Thanks to our affiliation with spicycupcakes.com, we now offer spicy gourmet cupcakes as well as funny t shirts, totes, etc…….
Soon, these will be available in nationWide v.001. Right now, they are only available to NYC residents. If you’d like to try a box then e-mail cupcake@ratherbecreative.com.
These cupcakes are super moist and delicious. They are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Many people balk at the idea of a “spicy” cupcake. This hesitation disappears the moment they try one however.
Our first customer was a returning customer and now they are a hit at our local bakery! If you are allergic to nuts however then you should probably buy it as a gift. That’s because these cupcakes have a gourmet pecan center.
If you LOVE pecans then you need to try these. The pecans are toasted in 2 different ways in order to bring out their natural awesomeness. They are then lovingly placed inside of each of these gourmet cupcakes. The “spice” comes from the world’s hottest chili pepper.
It’s called the “ghost chili” aka Bhut Jolokia. The Guiness Book of World Records confirms this as the world’s hottest chili. Chile peppers are measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Bhut Jolokia weighs in at 1,001,304 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
That’s nearly twice as hot as Red Savina, the chili pepper variety it replaces as the world’s hottest. A New Mexico green chili contains about 1,500 SHUs and an average jalapeno measures at about 10,000 SHUs.
You have been WARNED.
Yet, the frosting is very sweet and the overall cupcake has a great balance. I suggest eating this with milk or room temperature water. In my experience, cold water makes things worse. Many people however don’t need any water.
We only use a small pinch of the ghost chili in our baking. That’s all that’s needed obviously. If you have health concerns, then please consult a doctor before trying the world’s hottest pepper in our cooking.
However, we haven’t encountered any issues yet. The only issue that we’ve encountered is running out of them. It doesn’t matter if you are a cupcake-a-holic or a spicy freak. These gourmet cupcakes are for you (I’m psychic).
So, if you reside in NYC and you have a sweet & spicy wish, then contact us by e-mailing cupcake@ratherbecreative.com.
They are only available in boxes of six and you won’t be disappointed.
