Ginger Elizabeth's Cupcake Day

If you’re ever in Sacramento, California, one of my favorite dessert places is Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates.  They specialize in chocolates (obviously), but they also have a good selection of cookies and desserts.  Every month or two, the boutique will host event days where special items are available such as cupcakes, custards, or gourmet preserves and jams. 

This past Saturday, Ginger held one of her amazing cupcake days.  This time she featured 4 cupcake variations (clockwise from front): Key Lime Pie, Salty Caramel, Tiramisu and Real Red Velvet.

Ginger Elizabeth's cupcake descriptions:

•  Tiramisu Cupcake - Coffee Syrup soaked "Ladyfinger" Cake filled and topped with Mascarpone and Marsala Cream
• Key Lime Pie Cupcake - Buttermilk Cake filled with Key Lime Curd topped with Vanilla Bean Buttercream and House-Made Graham Crackers
• Real Red Velvet Cupcake - Ginger's Grandmother's Light Chocolate Cake topped with Cream Cheese Frosting
• Salty Caramel Cupcake - Rich Chocolate Cake filled with Fleur de Sel Caramel and topped with Caramel Buttercream

I don’t know if I can decisively say that one cupcake was the better than the others, but the tiramisu cupcake came pretty close.
