Here are some cupcakes Kumquat Cupcakery recently made for a party at Bergdorf Goodman. These were made to look like different lipstick colors, and I think turned out quite well. Look at that red frosting!!! I love it.
Fashion and cupcakes go so well together

I got the sweetest email today from a fan who was visiting NYC and managed to hunt down my cupcakes at the Dean & Deluca on 40th st and 8th ave. Here is a snippet from the email she sent me and some images taken from her blog.
During their stay they went on a cupcake crawl checking out all the different cupcakes manhattan has to offer. They checked out Crumbs, Magnolias, Baked by Melissa, and Kumquat Cupcakery.......thank goodness for Dean & Deluca. 
Too sweet to not post
"Keavy,
Thank you so much for your cupcakes =) This one was our favorite and so was the maple bacon and salted chocolate. Ahh, we loved them so much; they DEFINITELY lived up to its reputation! Now if only my bf would propose to me I'd be scheduling you to cater our wedding =P just kidding... kinda heh.
Thanks again, we love NYC and Kumquat Cupcakery! Woot!

What did I have for my dessert you ask? Why cheese of course...... ; )
Bill and I were a bit sneaky about our wedding. We invited both our families together for a fun filled weekend in NY and upon arriving told them that we were getting married......the next day! It was truly amazing. My cousin dario married us by the water in east river park in Williamsburg, and then we all went back to his place to devour amazing cheese and champagne before heading to a loooooong celebratory dinner at Pastis. If only we could do that everyday.....
To see some pictures of the event you can go HERE.

Party at Victoria Secrets
Yesterday morning, my crew and I delivered 1,500 cupcakes to Victoria Secrets. They were having a employee appreciation day which included massages, manicures, CUPCAKES, gift bags, and a giant game show spinning wheel things (do they have a name??). I'm hoping no Kumquat employees read this - the way I show appreciation is with a hug! :)
The display was beautiful, and as one of the women who works there pointed out, it looks very vintage. I love that.

Brooklyn Winery pics & video!
Last night at The Brooklyn Winery was so much fun.....seriously so. much. fun! The folks who work there are all so nice and accommodating, and the atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. My type of place.
There was only a few dozen folks who came through so I was able to sit and really talk to them about the business, or what they are interested in seeing from the biz. It wasn't a mob of people grabbing for free cupcakes - definitely a breath of fresh air.
They don't know it yet, but I think I might ask to do it again in the next coming months. ;)
I was able to corner Nichelle from Cupcakes Take the Cake and get a video of her trying the Port & Cherry cupcake (the winning flavor of the night).

What happens when you combine a cookie and a cupcake??
Amazingness happens.
Below is a video of the moment I thought to take our homemade chocolate cookie dough and put it smack dab in the middle of a cupcake.
I wasn't sure if it was going to make a big difference, or just taste like a normal chocolate and vanilla cupcake, but upon biting into it I knew this creation was going to have to stick around for awhile. Think dense buttery cake cut with chewy chocolate cookie, gooey frosting with a little cookie crunch on top. ummm, yeah. not too shabby.
My friend Abi (a chocolate connoisseur/lover/critic) got the privilege of trying the first one. There wasn't a lot of speaking while she was eating it, but there was a lot of eye rolling and cooing.
We will be shipping these off to Dean & Deluca as well as bringing them to the Brooklyn Flea starting next week.
