Something Old and Something New

The London Fog

Last night we decided to bring back the London Fog for a well deserved photoshoot for our signature menu. The London Fog was actually the first cupcake we came up with and has sort of been the rock of epicupcakes. It sounds little strange but remains to be the favorite of many of our friends and family. It's all starts with Earl Grey Lavender Tea, steeped in milk and a little extra fine ground up loose tea for bolder flavor. We use :

This tea has such an awesome flavor that mixes beautifully with the honey and vanilla cream cheese frosting! It turned out magnificently. We are proud to add it our list of creations.

We also decided to try a new flavor we have been curious about trying for a long time now. It's definitely a perfect Spring/Summer party cupcake! Probably not one you would want to bring to a little kid's birthday party but definitely a must try. It was the Lemon Basil:

The cupcake was a simple light and airy lemon cake that was to die for! For the frosting we chose something equally as light and delicious, Basil whipped cream! Sounds funky right? Well let me tell you, I was a bit skeptical that it would work , but the combination was fabulous! It was soft and not over powering and just a hint of sweetness. It was the perfect balance with the lemon cupcake. It is now actually one of my very favorites!

Chai Latte

Well after much hard work I bring you the Chai Latte cupcake.

Unfortunately for Angela, she got sick and was unable to participate in the experience of creating and photographing the new cupcake.

I starting off by creating the lighting tent, which was pretty simple. Buuuuut the lighting wasn't as bright as I needed but thanks to the wonders of Photoshop I was able to brighten thing up.

After the tent, or box rather, was ready to go I got a shot of the ingredients!

This was everything minus the egg and milk.

Unfortunately since I was riding solo on this adventure I didn't have the time to capture all my steps in putting it together but the end result was a pleasant surprise! I use a couple different backgrounds because I could not decide which on I liked best. I think I'm partial to the plain white though. What do you think?
