April Cupcake of the Month

Whipped Bakeshop Philadelphia Cupcake of the Month

Our April cupcake of the month is here! We're calling it the Phillies Fluffernutter, and it tastes as glorious as a Chase Utley home run. We start with our vanilla-buttermilk cake, which we fill with marshmallow-meringue fluff, and then ice with peanut butter buttercream. We finish the Fluffernutter off with salty-sweet honey-roasted peanuts and a hand-piped Phillies logo.

So if any of you follow us on the Twitters, you know that we recently started offering cake decorating parties, and if you follow us on Facebook, not only do you know of these magical cake parties, but you’ve actually seen the pictures from our most recent one. Well done, social media friends, well done. But if you don’t follow us on social media, we have news for you: Whipped Bakeshop is now offering cake decorating parties! What does this mean? This means that your next event could be here at the shop decorating your very own cake with some help from us, the official Whipped Bakeshop employees. Aren’t you lucky? Yes. Our most recent event was a Sweet 16 party in which the young ladies were given 4” mini cakes to decorate. (Feel free to talk to your own mini cake in whatever high-pitched squeaky voice you have reserved for tiny cute things that overload your cuteness senses.) Armed with some quick lessons on basic cake decorating techniques, a fun selection of royal icing colors, fondant colors and dreams of greatness, the ladies dazzled us with their creativity.

Best Cake Description EVER

This morning I awoke to find an email from Rebecca, which included the best cake description ever (she found it online). Jenn and I (Zoë) decided to do independent sketches of the description (to follow). If anyone wants to place an order for either finished design, please call the bakery to place your order by August 4, 2009. The cake is $17,000 and serves 294 people. Without further ado, here is the unedited, unadulterated description: Ok, try to follow this, k? I don't have a pic. The layers are square, but the corners are cut straight(so it's a square-ish octagon). These angled corners each have a lattice pattern made of itty bitty swiss dots. In each "diamond" this forms there is a flower. This is on every layer going up. It's 4 layers Layer 1 draping over the facing sides. Under this is quilting with a swiss dot in each 'corner' Layer 2 alternating vertical rows of fresh fruit and white chocolate curls. This has a monogrammed ribbon wrapped around it. in the middle is those pillars that bubble in the middle and a miniature functioning carousel on tier 2. Layer 3 Alternated peach or lime wedges on the top & facing sides(so it kind of looks like a 'squiggle') From between each facing wedge begins the top of a star made from mint leaves. Layer 4 "I Love You written in lots of languages. On the top top, instead of a statuette, is a tuft of white roses

How to Fill a Piping Bag with Icing

Many people wonder how we get our cupcakes to turn out so pretty. While we use a variety of techniques (colors, toppings, custom artwork) to get the looks we want, the simplest and most important thing we do is to pipe the icing onto our cupcakes instead of just glorping it on willy nilly.
