What's the craziest thing you've ever grilled? I
n honor of all the grilling we as a nation will be doing this holiday weekend, I've decided to post one of my favorite grilling photos.
A darling vintage-style bakery in London (inside Columbia Flower Market) called Treacle had this grill set up, complete with mini cupcake kabobs. It was so pretty and unexpected that it had customers stopping in their tracks. Wait...they're grilling cupcakes? This is a successful in-store display.
Flowers and cupcakes? I told you that I was in heaven at London's Columbia Flower Market! After making my way from one end of the market to the other (and then back again), I was ready for a snack.
A pretty bakery caught my eye and as I approached, I read the motto painted over the window: "Our true intent is all for your delight."
I was in the right place! These yummy cupcakes are from Treacle, a bake shop dedicated to new nostalgia (old-fashioned recipes, vintage-style aprons, enamelware tins).
I've never heard it called new nostalgia before, but I like it!
I wanted to show you this interesting display. They have taken mini cupcakes and put them on a wooden skewer (like a shish kabob!) on an outdoor grill. Certainly eye catching and the cupcakes look even prettier than if they had simply been in a box. So clever!
I had a traditional vanilla cupcake with pale purple frosting, edible glitter and candied violets on top. I ate it on the street with gusto and think I sold a few more cupcakes for them in the process.
