Cookies and CUPCAKES
Always on the lookout for a good cookie, but not just ANY cookie, it has to be at least as good as, if not better than, what we can make at home where favorite family recipes and quality control of ingredients produce the best! Enter. . .
A unique, almost ‘funky’ (but not quite) and ‘hip’ 
little establishment in Phoenix, we are drawn to their use of ‘organic’ and ‘local’ ingredients. And where, with ‘simplicity and quality as the cornerstones,’ we find extraordinary but basic soul-satisfying
Cookies….
And
Cupcakes.
Is this a new food fad: Cupcakes?
Haven’t we all enjoyed cupcakes since childhood…an easy offering at birthday parties, picnics, and bake sales. I remember in the 3rd grade, taking cupcakes to share with my classmates in celebration of the birth of my baby sister; and in high school, my homemade cupcakes sold out first at a bake sale. So, I am amused at this recent surge of interest and offerings of cupcakes: not only at ‘cup cake only’ bakeries, but also at other places offering sweet treats. Just this week, cupcakes were served at a professional business meeting luncheon I attended. And how about, instead of a traditional tiered wedding cake, tiered wedding ‘Cupcakes’?
Perhaps it is all of our childhood memories that make the cupcakes so tempting and ever more popular with all ages!
Urban Cookies is doing their part in joining this new fad and should consider adding ‘Cupcakes’ to their name! Offering tasty little cakes piled with a thick flavorful buttercream frosting or rich ganache, they add even more fun, by creating seasonal and specialty flavors like pumpkin for October/November, Strawberry for February (Valentine’s Day), Peach with fresh local peaches from Schnepfs Farm, and how about an Earth Day Cupcake — rich dark chocolate that actually looked like it could be dirt!
And NOW? How about a different flavor each week all summer long!
