We make the unusual delicious.
After visiting this cool little bakery near Scranton, PA, we can confirm that their tagline above is accurate. Turns out that the beautiful raspberry white chocolate skull that we had to bash in with a mallet on a recent trip to the Noir Dark Spirits restaurant (blog post here) was created by this fine establishment.
We ordered the Dragon Cupcake (Chocolate cinnamon cupcake, filled with cayenne ganache, topped with chocolate cinnamon buttercream) and it was absolutely perfect.
We asked about their seasonal offerings for Autumn and she started to mention flavors that sounded wonderfully made up.

I need them all...Tomato Soup and Grilled cheese?? White Pepper Gingerbread?? COME ON
Think i'm looking forward to the Dracula most of all.
Definitely need that tomato soup one.
DYING to try the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dill? insane.
How did they create those faces on those items?
Not sure!
I wish we had cool places like this here in West Texas.
Oh man. At least our Homegoods is carrying Halloween earlier. Took 'em a few years to figure it out. But dang, thar be no Fall Fare in this neck of the woods. Not even in October. You have to go to Target for Special K's and Mini Wheats' pumpkin spice cereal. I could NOT even find Shipyard Pumpkinhead last year. And I guess Blue Moon stopped producing Harvest Wheat? Not even a Buffalo Bill's was to be found in our local market. We are doomed. And I second the notion of the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Simply divine.
Those flavors are wild! I had to reread the tomato soup one and make sure it was a cupcake. I would try them all!
