Cupcake Stop Truck

Been seeing their trucks around my office in midtown and was thinking of checking them out… Till today… Nice terrorist supporting tweets today! Don’t think I want to support all that.

We hired Eddie to do our wedding last year and what started off great did not turn out so well.
I had extensively viewed the website and loved all the many available flavors. Spoke with Eddie via email a few times and said we wanted to do samples first before deciding to choose him. He met us and gave us a whole load of samples left over from another party. When I say they were the most delicious cupcakes I had ever tasted; I still have yet to taste anything as good! I brought several to work and everyone just died over them; no exaggeration, they were that good.
At this point I had had several quotes with Eddie. The quotes were on letterhead, everything detailed out line by line. After tasting the cupcakes, I made my final flavor selections, final quantities and he gave me a final quote so that I could send in my deposit. The thing that really left a «bad taste in my mouth» was an extra $ 100 line item for travel from the bakery in Voorhees to our house. I asked if this was an item imposed when there’s less than a minimum amount of cupcakes because it wasn’t on any of the other detailed quotes. He said: no, we always charge that. So then why did he wait until the 10^th iteration of detailed quote to put it in there, right after we made a our decision to go with him? It was underhanded and sneaky. Just be honest from the first quote or else you look shady.
The night of the wedding, he arrives and begins serving cupcakes with his 2 kids. Here were my issues: Each guest got 4 minis in an enormous plastic to-​go box. He had said they would be on trays; the generator on his truck kept going out and the lights on his truck would go out, it would restart and we’d swallow a mouthful of gas fumes; and the kicker: THE CUPCAKES WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE SAME AS THE SAMPLES. Aside from being warm with melted/​drooping icing, they did not taste nearly the same (we ordered some flavors that we had taste tested) and one of the cupcakes had the wrong icing on it. I don’t know what happened and why these were not the same tasty and quality cupcakes as the sample, but I was not happy. Maybe he and his kids baked them at home instead of them being done by their baker? Who knows but I was sorely disappointed and my guests didn’t quite get the impact I was hoping for.

I ran into this truck not on 86^th but 42^nd and lexington. About two weeks, ago there was a street fair in manhattan that had Ford sponsoring a contest and had this truck giving away some cupcakes. Red Velvet was the best, I have to agree. I have to try something else. Turtle cupcake sounds interesting.

Hot damn! My taste buds are overjoyed, my waist line is expanding, and my fat ass says YES!!!
Saw this truck of evil decadency and decided to bring a few treats home. Holy crap was that a mistake, because now I have another evil fatty enticing enemy I need to try and avoid. Here’s the rundown on the cupcakes we devoured.
Red Velvet — one of the best I have had. Moist cake, rich, and the frosting was like a fluffy cream cheese cloud.
Fun Fetti — like a party in my mouth. Again, the frosting is the star.
Cranberry — moist cake with bits of cranberry in it, and amazing frosting.
Vanilla Chocolate — moist vanilla cake with a chocolate frosting that tasted so rich and good I wish I had a bowl of it to scoop out with a spoon and eat non-​stop.
Whoever makes their frostings knows what they are doing!
I could have had sex with these cupcakes! Does that make me strange? Well, at least I could have slathered those frostings on me and… oh wait… stop! Control yourself!
Yeah, this truck is evil.

I happened upon this truck on 7^th Ave. at 28^th-​ish, where it is going to be on Tuesdays and Fridays for the time being.
I got the oreo cupcake, which is not bad, but did not blow me away. The frosting is the best part. There is a lot of it and it’s suitably creamy. It’s white with oreo cookie specks on top.
The cake is vanilla with a small amount of oreo cookie baked in. It needs to have WAY more oreo-​ness to be a full-​on oreo cupcake, I say. If I tasted it in a blind taste test, I would guess plain vanilla.
The cupcakes are small, like the size you’d bake at home, which is good. Not some gigantor deli-​size cupcake.

Absolutely, hands down, the best red velvet cupcake I have sampled yet. Rich, moist cake, tart cream cheese frosting. So good, it’s blown away other bakeries sampled (including Magnolia, but by a hair).
Have also sampled a couple other delicacies– a Turtle cupcake (vanilla with walnuts and a caramel cream cheese frosting) was awesome.
I can’t wait to try the whole repetoire.
