Cupcake Interview: Miami’s Cupcakes Nouveau
Comments:
“Shayrin and Cristina created the most beautiful, authentic and delicious cupcakes for a birthday party that I hosted. I am not only impressed with their skills but pleased by the taste of their delicious creations. My favorite…guava filled with cream cheese topping..mmmmmm…delicious!”
“These girls are IT!! They are so creative, not to mention how delicious the cupcakes are!”
“I tried their cupcakes this weekend and they are the most delicious concoctions I have tried. I usually love dense cake, but their cake is light and fluffy and still delicious! I don’t think I’ve had a better chocolate cupcake.”
“Cupcake Nouveau has been able to establish themselves as diversified – catering to every age group, etc. The cupcakes are delicious; I have placed 3 orders recently!!!”
“Kudos to these girls. They are professional and sexy sassy like a Carrie Bradshaw. It also helps that they have delectable cupcakes!”

This pretty floral cupcake has me thinking “Spring!”
“I love the little purple flowers perched atop the generous swirl of frosting, and the ribbon around the middle makes it look so fancy and elegant. If I were going to host a beautiful springtime garden brunch, I would want to serve these cupcakes!”

“The Cupcakes Nouveau cupcake was both delicious and pretty, a difficult balance. The vanilla elegance was unexpectedly light and fluffy. I usually don’t care for “light and fluffy” because I prefer dense cakes, (and I abhor dry cakes) but their cake was really good. Their chocolate cupcake was incomparable. It was a fudgy chocolate that didn’t feel “heavy.” They mentioned that they work out of a bakery – query whether that bakery sells their cupcakes? I’m dying for one now!”

How ’bout ‘em cupcakes
““Vanilla Elegance” by Cupcakes Nouveau – A Madagascar vanilla bean cupcake with vanilla Swiss meringue frosting. I loved the creamy texture of the frosting and its intense vanilla flavor; you could even see vanilla bean speckles in it. The cake was moist and also had a wonderful flavor. Bonus points to the Cupcakes Nouveau girls for the beautiful fondant flowers that top each of their cupcakes (see first picture). Tasters were impressed with the girls’ professionalism during mingling time.”

Sweet Sampling: A Local Cupcake Tasting
“These flower-petal decorated cakes impressed the crowd with their beautiful presentation and were deemed perfect for weddings and upscale occasions. The vanilla bean cake was praised for its strong flavor (”you can see the vanilla bean flecks in the cake”) and the chocolate was pronounced “divine.” One of the most consistent cakes throughout, including a red velvet with cream cheese-frosted contender.”

“Oh how I LOVE LOVE new cupcake flavors. I think there’s a chubby kid inside me that longs for news that my local cupcake place has created a new flavor. I’m bringing new meaning to “a kid in a candyshop” with my cupcake obsession. Moving right along… I’ve found two new cupcakes to please your palettes… One in my own backyard, Portland OR, and another far far away in Coral Gable, FL…And secondly, I present “Cafe Mocha””

Sweet Treats: Cupcakes Nouveau Takes the Cake
“They are so beautiful. The colors, the swirls, the texture, the ribbons and bows, the desire to just stare and not take a bite is overwhelming…These cupcakes taste just as good as they look…perhaps (GASP!) even better.”
“Most unusual flavor: Monkey Muffin (cinnamon and brown sugar coated pull-apart bread, topped with an almond glaze in a muffin-sized cup).”
Here Are Some Other Cool Cupcake Stores to Check Out
“…Cupcakes Nouveau makes stopping for a cupcake in the Gables after work better than sipping a boring martini during happy hour. The southernmost cupcake, a vanilla cake stuffed with a Key lime cream, and autumn spice carrot cupcakes are worth the traffic jam to get there.”
