Another Blue Cupcake..

The DASH reflected in the display case at Lot 44 on Spring Street.




This blog is really looking like "Meeko on Cupcakes" rather than a neighborhood blog.. but here I am enjoying some Fall yumminess and figured it was time to give Lot 44 & Blue Cupcake another writeup.. yeah.. it's Pumpkin time!

I would think the Pumpkin Cupcake should be available through Thanksgiving..

more cupcakes.. for culture!

Latin American Heritage Month (or National Hispanic Heritage Month as it's also known) starts officially September 15th, and you can celebrate all month at Lot 44 Coffee.. with a Blue Cupcake treat.

Latin American Heritage Month was started in 1968 under President Johnson as a week-long celebration, then later expanded under President Reagan for a full month (Sept 15- Oct 15) celebrating the culture and heritage of the Latin American people.

So what's this got to do with cupcakes, you ask?? In honor of the month-long celebration, Lot 44 is the place to get Dulce de Leche and Mojito cupcakes..


You know I tried the Mojito!

the buttercream frosting is infused with bits of mint.. very light hints will hit your mouth.. then the rum cake & lime filling will add a refreshing taste.

Did someone say lime??

The overall flavor and texture is light and flavorful.. a perfect cupcake for a hot September day.

The dulce de leche will have to be tried next time.. (but why wait? go check them out yourself!) Seriously.. these are amazing cupcakes.. I have loved every single one I've tried so far. The red velvet, the mocha espresso, the lime (fantastic!), the black raspberry chocolate.. and now the mojito.

There are plenty of other flavors.. six 'standard' flavors, but each week there may be a couple new flavors added and rotating to the selection. These 2 new flavors are special for Latin American Heritage Month.. and they all go great with coffee or something cold.

Yeah, I like cupcakes.

Cupcake Day

Some sites suggest that yesterday, August 18th was "National Cupcake Day" while other sites suggest it's not til December. Regardless, I was out & about and made a point to stop in at Lot 44. Lot 44 is your downtown location for "Blue Cupcake" varieties.

They had several of their familiar flavors: strawberry red velvet, coconut, PB&J.. coconut.. lime, and a new one.. blackberry chocolate! I wanted to try a couple flavors so the mini cupcake at about $1.35 ea was the way to go.

Look at that yummy filling.. was like biting into a blackberry chocolate truffle. Good stuff!

Whether "National Cupcake Day" was yesterday or December.. Any day is a good day for a cupcake. Seems like Downtown has some good options out there whatever you're wanting.

I think I'll be back. Soon.
