We all love cupcakes and the new shops that specialize in cupcakes prove this fact. Now, there is a new trend. Frosting shots- yes! At a handful of cupcake storefronts across the United States, the frosting shot has emerged as a short-but-sweet pick-me-up for urbanites and college students.For a small fee, customers get a dollop of their favourite frosting in a paper cup of plastic cup, about the size of a frozen yogurt sample.
Erin McKenna, ow
ner of Babycakes NYC in New York which offers vegan cupcakes first tested her desserts while at Mario Batali's restaurant Lupa. A customer suggested making extra frosting as shots.
"It really became a big thing. I tried to stop offering them," Ms. McKenna says, "But I would see people on the street and they'd be, like, 'Where are the the frosting shots?' ".
I must go out and take this to the local cupcake shop and see if they will follow up on this idea. The last time, I walked by they had mini cupcakes which hit the spot. Icing would be even better!
