You can chalk up my love for Out of the Kitchen’s fresh and frosting-laden cupcakes to the so bad, it’s good category. These yummy gut-bombs are yet another reason to beeline it to the Willage.

It’s the frosting, dummy
It’s not something I’m proud of, but I know you did it too: growing up, peeling back the plastic lid of the Duncan Hines frosting container your mom bought from the grocery store, and just spooning mouthfuls of the ooey, gooey, rich and creamy milk chocolate or “fluffy white” frosting, without regard for the cake that it was supposed to be dressing.

Obsession of the week
This week clearly was all about cupcakes.
It started with the Buttercup / Billy’s Smackdown. Continued with a stop at Out of the Kitchen. Then today, I had a couple of the most heavenly flavors yet.
I visited Keavy at Brooklyn’s Brownstoners Flea Market and had a Kumquat strawberries and cream mini cupcake. Two bites of strawberry-wow flavor. And then onto Batch in the West Village. At Mr. Ong’s suggestion, I tried the carrot and salted caramel cupcake, which was, yes, divine. But the new strawberry frosting/rhubarb filling is even better. Such vibrant, fruity flavors. And the cake and frosting have that beautiful home-baked texture and density.
Instead of being cupcaked out, I’m dying for more Kumquat and Batch.

In or out?
What can I say? I’m on a cupcake kick.
This one I’ll blame on Julie. “I’m a Duncan Hines kind of girl,” she confessed the other night when we were taste-testing. I couldn’t agree more. So when I found myself on Hudson Street, I couldn’t resist the magnetic pull of Out of the Kitchen. They have the gooiest Duncan Hines-like cupcakes — the perfect antidote to pastel sugary varietal.
One chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, and one yellow cake with chocolate frosting later, and I can’t decide which is better. The yellow cake is moister. But the vanilla frosting is sweeter. I could always get vanilla frosting on yellow cake, but then again, I can’t. I just can’t break from the chocolate/vanilla combo. Ultimately, I think the cake is just the vehicle for this frosting so it’s always good to get both.
