When you walk into Kitchenette in Tribeca, you will be greeted with a glass display of Willy Wonka inspired cakes, cookies and other desserts - such as - homemade Hostess cakes!
All the colors are exaggerated and temptation lurks on every shelf. The red velvet cupcake is no exception. It has a hot pink slash reddish interior that is dense - almost chewy - with an assertive cocoa overtone.
The frosting is sugary with a cream cheese tang and sprinkled with pink confetti on top. It looks almost translucent and as if it may have been sitting around for a while, but it definitely doesn't taste that way!
Although it is pretty delicious and better than Amy's Bread, it still doesn't quite measure up to the wedding red velvet cake that first launched this hunt. Although... I had had a few drinks by the time wedding cake came around, so it might be possible that no red velvet cake can or will ever live up to my recollection of that first taste =D
* This picture was taken with my cell phone, so the colors aren't that great, but you get the gist.
