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. It seems like such a pity to ruin the gorgeous presentation. It should be acceptable to be content by just looking…. Huge mistake! These cupcakes taste as good as they look … perhaps (GASP!) even better. Cupcakes Nouveau specializes in gourmet couture cupcakes. Homemade and fresh, these small treats have taken the innocent and childlike simplicity of a cupcake and glamorized it to match any event's decoration. After all, adults can have yummy and pretty cupcakes at their parties, too. Imagine the perfect wedding reception: a glowing bride dressed in flowing white, a handsome groom in a sharp tuxedo, bridesmaids in shades of pastels, joyful guests filling the room with laughter and talk, centerpieces bursting with aromatic flowers, music in the background…. The final touch to this scene are little coconut cupcakes with coconut meringue frosting and shredded coconut placed at each guest's table setting. This option, Coconut No. 5, is one of many in Cupcakes Nouveau's Signature Collection. The varied shades of white add to the elegance of the wedding decorations. The cupcakes remind guests of the fun and magic of the party and welcome them to celebrate with a whimsical touch! Any event can be enhanced with something as simple (and flavorful) as a cupcake. Such a small touch can do so much. Believe it or not, these cupcakes are theatrical. At an opening night of a recent production of Steve Martin's Picasso at the Lapin Lange, art enthusiasts feasted on great acting, colorful backgrounds and costumes, a funny script, and … cupcakes, courtesy of Cupcakes Nouveau! The sweet goodies resembled the main characters of Steve Martin's play. Albert Einstein was quite handsome, and tasty, too, in guava filing with a hint of almond and topped with a cream cheese frosting. These cupcakes are trendy, too. Shopping parties become up-to-date in fashion with Cupcakes Nouveau. What could be better than applying a new shade of lipstick right after finishing the last bite of a Chocolat Chic? This chocolate cupcake with a creamy chocolate center and French vanilla buttercream frosting is delicious. Makeover parties will never be the same. These cupcakes are famous: Cupcakes Nouveau has been featured on The South Florida Today Show on NBC Channel 6. Art Gallery openings can now showcase the latest in oil paints, sculptures … and edible art. Weddings, bridal and baby showers, corporate events—these cupcakes are everywhere! And yes, they can even be served at children's birthday parties. Adults today will have to learn how to share. It is not easy to choose between a Caramel Bonbon vanilla cupcake with homemade dulce de leche filling and a vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream frosting, or a Moulin Rouge red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, both from the Signature Collection. If this is not enough to tempt you, there is always the option to design a unique cupcake. The flavor options are as varied as Key Lime to cookies-n- cream, and the fillings range from almond Swiss meringue buttercream to chocolate fudge. With only the finest and fresh ingredients such as Scharffen Berger Premium Cocoa and Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, how can this be the wrong choice for the perfect event?
