What's Your Favorite Non-Chocolate Cupcake?

Posted by Ed Levine, July 16, 2007

I know it's downright blasphemous to say, but I'm not really much of a cupcake person. Almost every cupcake I've ever had is too sweet. I like Mitchel London's chocolate cupcakes because he uses good chocolate and he' an excellent all-around cook and baker. So when I tell you I found a really good non-chocolate cupcake, I don't say these things lightly. The strawberry cupcake I had from Nicole Farhi's bizarre combination clothing shop-restaurant 202 this morning had slices of fresh strawberry on top, was shockingly light and remarkably moist. It was still a little too sweet, but all in all it may be the next non-chocolate cupcake I've ever had.
Any other truly great non-chocolate cupcakes out there?
