Cupcakes are a small part of the baking business that Gephart formed with musician Menestres in October. Gephart worked at Raleigh’s Hayes Barton Cafe & Dessertery for years. The pair also makes cakes, pies, tarts and cookies. They focused on cupcakes for the Shotbox espresso shop that was open during the holiday market at Designbox in downtown Raleigh. Their cupcakes often involve alcohol, from the frosting to the cake, because, they say, “Who doesn’t love alcohol?”
Tasting Notes: We loved the names of the cupcakes, from one with jalapeno-tinged frosting called Slow Burn to a White Russian cupcake called Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. The unique flavor additions of these cupcakes, whether tequila or jalapeno, always seem to hit you on the end of your palate. If you like that sensation, you will love these cupcakes.
