Philly Cupcake expands

Thanks to the tipster who put us on to this one: Philly Cupcake (12th and Chestnut), which opened in December at 12th and Chestnut, is putting the finishing touches on a big expansion directly south, into what was Zack's Cafe. Co-owner Johnny Columbo tells Meal Ticket the new space, which is roughly 550 square feet, will serve as an "art kitchen," aka a wide-open space where folks can watch PC's bakers prepping, mixing and decorating. The new space will be unveiling early next week, and its debut coincides with the launch of several new offerings from Philly Cupcake, namely a chocolate-covered brownie on stick (!) and a $13 special they're calling "The Lunch Box," a four-pack of back-to-school-themed cupcakes peanut butter/jelly; carrot cake (eat your veggies!); the "Teacher's Pet," spiced applesauce cake with cinnamon/brown butter buttercream; and the "Lunchbox Chocolate Cake," filled with vanilla buttercream and glazed with chocolate.
