I don't think that's officially what it was called, but, cupcakes did cross oceans last week here in Austin, Texas.
The short story goes like this: The two cupcake connoisseurs were featured on a prominent cupcake blog and then became fast friends on Twitter. Less than a year later, they planned five days of co-baking in Olivia's Austin-based shop.
I had the chance to stop in on Saturday, Jess' last day at the bakery. Her "Malteser" is hard to resist, so I didn't even try. Her website describes it as "moist dark chocolate cake with luscious malted frosting, finished with a malt chocolate ball." And this week, she took it a step farther and mixed crushed malt chocolate balls into the frosting. I'm a little ashamed to admit, I could have eaten about six all by myself. But I didn't.
Twitter and buttercream. How could they really go wrong?

I'm here to say that the Malteser was possibly the best cupcake I have ever put in my mouth! Summer may have been able to eat six, but I think I could have eaten twelve! They were that good!

Mmmm...the Malteser sounds delicious. Which is surprising, because I made the mistake Wednesday night of eating too much cupcake, which was followed by swearing off cupcakes.
