Kicky's Kitchen Kicks Their Pop-Up Into Gear
It was a full house at last night's opening reception for the Kicky's Kitchen Pop-Up, as guests flooded in to try some of the store's top-notch "caketails"- the alcohol-infused cupcakes inspired by owner Christie's favorite cocktails. With an exclusive summer menu specifically tailored for the pop-up, guests, including food bloggers Abby of The City Sweet Tooth and Marie of Newbie Foodie, were able to sample the mini "caketail" shots and then buy the fuller versions of their favorite flavor.
Interacting with the crowd, we asked around to see what people had to say about the alcohol-infused goodies:
“It’s like two of my favorite things- in one.”
“This is light, compared to Crumb’s heavy, large cupcake. Their crème is light and the cupcake itself is spongey”
“Banana Daiquiri is DELICIOUS, I tried the Mint at the last Kicky's Kitchen event and I loved that too” - dedicated Kicky's Fan, Blogger Abby of The City Sweet Tooth
“Easy to hold, easy to eat”
“I only tried one, and honestly, it was amazing.”
"Because there is alcohol in the frosting, there is less of that artificial sugar taste. I don’t usually eat frosting, and I ate all of hers.” - Megan, Lionesque Group Social Strategy Manager
CUPCAKE SHOWDOWN
According to the party-goers, the opening night’s favorite flavors seemed to be the Banana Daiquiri, banana cake with rum buttercream, and the Mint Chocolate Martini, mint chocolate cake with creme de menthe and chocolate vodka buttercream. The LG Team in particular loved the Bees Knee, honey and lemon with gin buttercream topped with bee pollen, but really we just love anything having to do with cupcakes!
