Menu Additions for October

One of my favorite things to do is create flavors to add to my bakery's menu.  People always ask mewhere I get my inspiration, and the answer is very, very easy.  I get inspired by other people, or things I see, eat and drink.

For example, last Fall I was eating a scoop of cookies & cream ice cream at the local ice cream shop and I thought that it would make a mean cake.  However, instead of pieces of cookie in plain buttercream, we could make it a smooth frosting just like the ice cream.  The result?  A huge success.

Since we opened in August 2008, we've created over 35 cake flavors, such as Champagne Cake and Blueberry Lime, with a large amount of those recipes developed for my forthcoming Cookbook "Kiss My Bundt".

In August, Caroline on Crack blogged about a Maple Bacon Latte in San Francisco.  This sparked my interested in doing a maple bacon bundt cake.  The result?  Spectacular.  Bacon that gets candied, then minced into sprinkles, then put in a maple cake with bacon butter, baked and then topped with maple glaze and more candied bacon sprinkles.  Seriously--it's amazing.  So amazing that the LA Times' Food Section/Test Kitchen tried it, loved it AND blogged about it.  We'll now have this cake EVERY Saturday.  So, stop on by for a free sample.  But it'll all end up with you taking some home.

This month, I'm excited to bring back Pumpkin Spice Cake. This cake is what Autumn's all about, with its pureed pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and more warming spices.  Topped with your choice of cool cream cheese frosting or cinnamon spice glaze, this cake will take you to your warm special place for a little fall retreat.  We'll have this cake every day until at least December 1.  If there demand is there, we'll keep it until 2010.

We've also added other cake flavors into our weekly rotation for the month of October:  Raspberry Lemonade Cake, Champagne Cake, Maple Bacon, Vanilla/Chocolate Marble, Cappuccino Cake, Pumpkin, Coconut, Citrilicious, and Almond Cake. 

Everyday we post our menu at www.twitter.com/KissMyBundt You don't have to "follow" us to see the menu.

As for the menu development, I'm always looking for new ideas.  Have an idea for a crazy cake flavor, like avocado-lime (that's not bad....) you want us to try?  Send a note to:  info@kissmybundt.net and we'll try it out. :)
