Cupchives: Bittersweet Cafe Birthday Treats

Wellll, okay, "cupchives" is my way of combining "cupcake" and "archives," as in, older, archived photos/stories about cupcakes. Aw, just humor me! :)

The vegan cupcakes are coming later this week — really! Along with a special themed treat on Wednesday, which is, as everyone knows, Top Chef Day. More to come on that...



For now, I present some photos from my last birthday, November 2008. I went on a "cupcake crawl" around San Francisco, though at some point it turned into just cramming my face full of sugary treats of any sort. First stop: Bittersweet Cafe on Fillmore Street.



As you can see, I couldn't stop at just one little mini-cupcake.



In addition, I had to try the dense chocolate biscotti (which turned manageably soggy — but not gross — when dunked in the amazingly rich cup of Blue Bottle Coffee), a chocolate cookie, and a homemade hunk of marshmallow which puts those gummy pre-packaged tubular marshmallows to shame. Seriously. The marshmallow cube was sugary but not too sweet, dusted finely with powdered sugar and dissolved beautifully in the mouth. Divine! The mini-cupcake was great as well — yummy chocolate cake topped by a dollop of light frosting. Not too much, not too little.

I'd recommend Bittersweet to anyone and everyone who has ever enjoyed anything sweet.
