Cookie Confidential partners with boozy dessert-maker Beer Cakes

Beer Cakes, which we mentioned two weeks ago, is in the development stages, but it turns out we don't have to wait to try some of Lexi Malmros' literally intoxicating cupcakes. Melissa Torre of Cookie Confidential (517 S. Fifth St.) has forged a partnership with Malmros; the two creative bakers now share a kitchen and storefront. Beer Cakes will make its formal at the shop on June 7 and 8 — the tail end of Philly Beer Week, fittingly. From 4 to 10 p.m. that Friday and Saturday, swing by to taste a cupcake and sample the beers Malmros uses to scratch-bake the sweet treats. Eventually, Malmros hopes she and Torre can push back the closing time of Cookie Confidential to midnight or even 2 a.m. to catch folks leaving the bars with a hankering for dessert.

Malmros hasn't released the flavors of the cakes she'll be serving yet — keep eyes on her Twitter feed and her website for forthcoming details — but you can expect to pay about $4 for a standard-sized cupcake, $1.50 for a mini and $15 for a sampler of 12 minis. Torre will still have her full Cookie Confidential inventory available for your sweet teeth.
