Cupcakes just for grownups

Cupcakes just for grownups
I have come to love looking forward to my Foodzie tasting box at the beginning of each month, and all the little nibbles and gourmet noshes contained therein. A few weeks back, I opened my box to such an amazing treat: Mini cupcakes in very adult flavors.
I had heard of Kyotofu cupcakes, because they get a lot of buzz around NYC, but I had never bitten into one of these moist little gourmet cakes until just now. Subtle, delicate flavors like Matcha Green Tea and Miso Chocolate are a welcome change from that traditional cupcake flavor: Lots and Lots of Sugar. While I haven't tried the Chocolate Souffle, that, by all accounts, is the one to beat.

They come so beautifully packaged, they're an awesome hostess gift or happy birthday token for a friend far away. As long as that friend is over 18, with a refined palate. Hold the Betty Crocker frosting. -Liz
