Sweet Street has been baking the world’s finest desserts since 1979. We make them from the finest ingredients, such as chocolates from Africa and South America, pure vanilla from Madagascar, and sweet blueberries from Maine. Our products contain no artificial trans fats, are GMO-free and, with few exceptions, are Certified Kosher Dairy (KD).
Nearly everyone has a favorite cupcake flavor. It’s hard to go wrong with chocolate or vanilla, but we’ve created a few flavors that will tantalize plenty of taste buds.
Jelly Roll Cupcake
Inspired by the old-fashioned jelly roll cakes that grandma used to make, our moist vanilla cupcake is filled with raspberry, iced with raspberry fluff, and decorated with raspberry candy. And it looks pretty cute in its pink wrapper. Raspberries are sweet, juicy and rich in fiber. Enjoy them year-round.
Red Velvet Cupcake
Although red velvet cakes were popular in the 1920s, many of us discovered them when we saw the red velvet armadillo groom’s cake made famous in the 1989 movie, Steel Magnolias. Our cupcakes start with red velvet cake, then we add a creamy chocolate truffle center, and top it with cream cheese buttermilk fluff icing and a chocolate candy. A tasty sensation.
Fascinating Facts about Cupcakes
- There’s a special day for cupcakes! Americans observe National Cupcake Day on December 15th.
- Cupcakes are actually one of America’s first and nicest contributions to world cuisine. The first recipe for cupcakes appeared in an American cookbook in 1826. Recipes in England date back only to the 1850s.
- The “cup” in “cupcake” originally referred to the way the ingredients were measured (1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 4 eggs…). Some bakers called them “1-2-3-4” cakes or “number” cakes.
- In 2011, Georgetown Bakery won “The World’s Largest Cupcake” contest with a huge one that needed a custom-made pan and oven. It weighed 2,594 lbs., was 56 inches in diameter and 3 feet tall, and required 600 pounds of butter cream.
