Undercover cupcakes and new last-Friday food series at Cookie Confidential
In addition to her new menu items, Torre is teaming up with local food artisans on the fourth Friday of every month to give away free treats, and first partners on the list are Franklin Fountain (116 Market St.) and Philadelphia Brewing Co.
Undercover cupcakes and new last-Friday food series at Cookie Confidential
Melissa Torre, owner/chief bacon cookie baker at Cookie Confidential (517 S. Fifth St.), has launched her latest creation, Undercover Cupcakes — multiple layers of cake and frosting served in both glass jars (spoon-feed your way out, return the jar and get rewarded with a treat) and in funky little Push Pop-like contraptions. "I really like my cupcakes, but I’m not a decorator," Torre tells Meal Ticket, so she came up with her own way to eat the tasty treats. She's whipping up flavors like maple bacon, chocolate-covered banana, Neapolitan, buttermilk blueberry and ginger snap (infused with Art in the Age's SNAP liqueur).
In addition to her new menu items, Torre is teaming up with local food artisans on the fourth Friday of every month to give away free treats, and first partners on the list are Franklin Fountain (116 Market St.) and Philadelphia Brewing Co. Tonight she'll be dishing out ice cream sandwiches, ice cream Push Pops and beer to all who stop by the shop between 7 and 9 p.m. Torre also lets us know she already has ideas for next month’s event, when she’ll be collaborating with local beekeeper Don Shump.
"The next crazy thing I'm coming up with is more savory cookies for the fall," says Torre. With creations like strawberry/jalapeno and hot wing (a blend of blue cheese and dehydrated chicken), the baker thinks they’ll be perfect for football season.
