No food coloring. No fondant. No red velvet. Upscale bakery Robicelli’s has
become a buzzed-about, in-demand purveyor of decidedly adult cupcakes. Nixing
cutesy, pastel-colored dollops of fluff for real ingredients and rich French
buttercreams, the husband and wife team have reinvented the cupcake craze for a
more sophisticated palate, making each a small piece of the greatest cake ever
made. Now their extraordinary recipes are available to the home cook.
This book captures not only the Robicelli’s unique take on baking but also
their edgy, unapologetically hilarious take on life, including how they
survived severe economic setbacks to launch the country’s hottest cupcake
brand— a venture begun with thirty dollars in borrowed quarters.
Offering both cupcake recipes and a recipe for life that calls for a stash of
“emergency cake,” Robicelli’s: A Love Story, with Cupcakes is a baking
book like you’ve never seen before.
