The Petite Cafe - Home of the Stuffed Cupcakes

Keith and Maureen moved from the catering and restaurant business to a small café because they wanted to be in a single location. Like Keith’s culinary background the name The Petite Cafe is American with a French twist. Opening shortly before 9/11, the Petite Cafe became a place for the community to gather, reflect, and take comfort. This was important to Keith and Maureen because both had worked in or near the World Trade Center.

In 2008, The Petite Cafe moved down the street due renovations occurring on Franklin Avenue in Nutley, NJ. The new intimate ten table space offers opportunities to enjoy a cozy coffee or a pleasant pastry. The continental breakfast is a perfect way to start your business day.  For a special treat, Fondue is both a delicious dessert and a fun activity.

The Petite Cafe plans to begin a tea service on Sunday afternoons. Tea is the perfect way to break up a lazy Sunday afternoon and catch up with friends. A selection of fine teas, scones, mini cupcakes, and mini quiches will be available. Don’t forget to bring home Stuffed Cupcakes™ for family and friends.

Please visit The Petite Cafe for more information.

If Heaven Doesn’t Have Cupcakes… I’m Not Going

Cupcake Commando

(more…)

I got a text message from CM Punk last Tuesday letting me know that not only did he get a cupcake tattoo that afternoon, but he also declares 2009 “Year of the Cupcake.” The first tattoo photo (taken with his Sidekick) was pretty bad so last night I asked him for a new one. This one’s better, believe it or not, and he said Shawn Michaels took it, which makes it even more awesome.

You may recall the Sugar Slam bake off I hosted a few months ago- Punk picked a Pepsi cupcake as the winner not only because it was named after him, but also because it wasn’t really frosted. What kind of frosting hater gets a cupcake tattoo?

2009: Year of the Cupcake according to CM Punk, you heard it here first.
