Bacon Cupcakes. Wait, what?

[flvegan]

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)
Tee and Cakes bakery tops chocolate cupcakes with bacon.

Bacon is usually considered a breakfast food, but a bakery in Boulder is putting the pork in their cupcakes.

Tee and Cakes bakery is busy Saturday mornings and it's no wonder why, sure they serve breakfast, but cupcakes are the reason the crowd lines up.

Owners Kim Boos and Brian Wood found a way to combine breakfast with dessert after tasting a chocolate bar with bacon.

"It kind of like blew our minds and we're very picky about food," Boos said

That's when the bacon cupcake was created.

Quote of the day: "The people who want a bacon cupcake want a lot of bacon on their cupcake."

2. Bacon and chocolate - a marriage made in heaven.

And I've just made pecan and pine nut brittle and coated the nuts with bacon fat.

Totally delicious!!!

Bacon - it's a gateway drug.

[midnight armadillo]

3. That's the perfect dessert after a turbaconducken!

[astral]

56. I can't quite tell what that is but that's okay

I don't think I wannal ook at it long enough to figure it out.

(is it cooked? Can it walk?)

[Lavender Brown]

4. That's a crime against baking.

:cry: :puke:

[BeachBaby]

5. I saw that on the news this morning.

They said that the cupcakes were made of maple syrup.

Like that's supposed to make it all better.

6. Bacon goes with anything.

It might be the single greatest food out there.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Have you seen this?

http://www.baconnaise.com/

It might beat out sour cream for my single favorite food item. I'll know better after I pick up a jar of Baconnaise and some Bacon Salt later this week.

Pray for me...................

[MrSlayer]

11. That is awesome.

I'm going to have to try that. Thanks for the heads-up.

[spinbaby]

39. What do they mean "vegetarian safe?"

It won't kill vegetarians on contact?

[LeftyMom]

7. That's foul.

But popcorn with bacon salt on it (the hickory flavor is vegan) is great drunk food.

[flvegan]

8. I'm going to invent bacon beer. I'll be the richest motherfucker on the planet.

[LeftyMom]

10. I thought of something even better/more horrible/sure to earn millions

Bacon flavored lube.

I win. Close the thread.

[flvegan]

12. Nah, you only use so much of it.

Beer is a constant steady flow, every day. Think about it...football season. Baseball season.

I'm going to buy Bill Gates just so I can tell him to buy a Mac.

[kentauros]

30. But beer isn't used in almost everything

for that you need

High Fructose Bacon Syrup - HFBS

I win

[Marrah_G]

41. I think my brain just melted.

[RetroLounge]

18. Dude.

Winner!

19. "Vegan asshole invents epic bacon/alcohol concoction. Makes billions."

That sounds damn good.

I'll buy you a Borders to turn into a REAL bookstore if you sell my beverage there exclusively.

[RetroLounge]

22. I'll name the cafe after you!

:9

24. Tastes Like Vegan Asshole?

Dude, you'll need marketing help.

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

31. That reminds me of a joke I heard once.

There was this trucker, who had really hotrodded his rig. He was very proud of how fast it could go when he wanted it to. One day he met this man who had this beautiful, spotless, pristine, shiny white dog. The man said it was the fastest dog in the world. It could outrun anything anytime anyplace anywhere.

The trucker said, "Oh yeah? You are on!"

So, they set up the race. At first the dog started out beside the truck, but later disappeared. The trucker did not see the dog again, anywhere for the entire rest of the race.

The trucker crossed the finish line going faster than he had ever gone before. He had to pull on his brakes pretty hard to get it stopped. With a spring in his step, confident that he had beaten the "fastest dog in the world," he puffed up his chest all proud of himself and stepped out of his rig.

The second he opened the door, he heard barking. He said, "No way. I left that dog in the dust MILES ago! This can't be the same dog. Look, this dog has a brown patch of fur around his neck. The one I raced did not."

The owner of the white dog stepped up and said, "Oh, it's the same dog. We have video proof. He ran along behind you snapping at your mud flaps every mile of the way here."

The trucker, sure his leg was being pulled asked, "But what about that brown ring around the dog's neck?"

The dog's owner chuckled and replied, "That's his asshole. He's just not used to stopping so fast."

28. Floating pig's feet beer.

I don't know why they have pig's feet floating in formaldehyde in bars, but what if... :think: We'll be RICH!!!

[DS1]

51. There's bacon vodka

[GOPisEvil]

13. Voodoo Donuts in Portland has a maple bacon bar.

Along with vegan donuts. Just to maintain your cover while you're sampling the maple bacon bar, ya know.

[LeftyMom]

14. They make a vegan maple bacon bar.

I've had it. It's more weird than good, IMO.

[GOPisEvil]

16. I've had the chicken fried bacon at Sodolak's in Snook, TX (also a travel channel sensation).

Also more weird than good.

[LeftyMom]

17. I made chicken fried seitan this weekend.

I've never seen people eat so fast. At least not since the last time I made a scratch dinner for 10+ hungry vegans.

As far as Voodoo goes, I like Mighty-O in Seattle better, but IMO Ronald's in Vegas is the epicenter of the vegan donut world. Voodoo is about on par with People's Donuts in Berkeley.

[GOPisEvil]

55. Ooh, thanks for the tip on Mighty-O.

Top Pot, I know of. Mmmmmm...donuts...

[Lil Missy]

15. I like bacon, but in a cupcake?

I think NOT!

[Lucian]

20. What's next? Bacon pie?

Wait...I could make money on that...

THAT'S MY IDEA~!

[Jamastiene]

32. A quiche is almost like bacon pie, in a way,

with cheese and broccoli in it. Well, it's ham, anyways. :P

[Lucian]

33. A quickie?

How about bacon scones? Or bacon cookies?

[ghostsofgiants]

21. I love cupcakes, and I love bacon, but that is a monstrosity.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

23. Oh yeah

my kinda cupcake.

[Robeson]

25. That's the one of the most gross things I've ever heard of...

...f'n nasty.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. When you say "Bacon", I'm thinking "strips of Bacon", not bacon bits.

Cupcake fail.. x(

[Jamastiene]

27. Normally, I'm really into at least trying different foods...

but pork is not my thing at all. If I had my say, I'd never eat pork again, easily. My weaknesses are beef and fish. Maybe Atlantic Croaker cupcakes would be more my thing? I wonder what that WOULD taste like. Hmm... :P :shrug:

[Dangerously Amused]

29. I don't think I'd let some anonymous baker put his pork in my cupcake.

:scared:

[GoneOffShore]

34. IBTL

[jakefrep]

35. Pfft! That ain't nothin' until it's dunked in batter and deep-fried.

[GoneOffShore]

36. Beer batter!!!

I'm getting the deep fryer out as soon as I'm done with this thread.

[jakefrep]

37. Not just Beer Batter....

BACON-FLAVORED beer batter!

[GoneOffShore]

40. Don't you think that might be gilding the lily -

so to speak?

[jakefrep]

49. Nah....might as well go whole hog...

so to speak.

[GoneOffShore]

53. Yeah, might as well pig out.

[Wetzelbill]

38. See this is why our country is so fat

We just have to go that extra mile and create something to eat that is infantile and insane. The sad thing is I would probably eat that.

[Fran Kubelik]

42. That looks really good.

kind of like this:

[TZ]

43. um...

well now even I a chocoholic know I have limits..:puke:

[Fran Kubelik]

44. really? that gets a vomity smiley?

It's Vosges chocolate, which is some really fine chocolate. And the combo of salt and sweat is amazing. Do you not like bacon? I guess that would be a reason to puke...

[TZ]

45. no I like bacon

I would say, I'm not a fan of salty and sweet. I can't stand pineapple on pizza for the same reason I suppose.
I like salty and I like sweet, just not together.:)

[Fran Kubelik]

46. Ah, I see.

So no nuts on your hot fudge sundae for you, I suppose?
I'm a total sucker for salty and sweet. When I was a kid I would dip my french fries in my chocolate shake at McD's.

[TZ]

48. nor nuts on my brownies either!

French fries in chocolate shake..thats a new one..:)

[redqueen]

47. I'd try it.

I'm not even that fond of cupcakes, but I'd try it.

[SoxFan]

50. Hell, yeah!

52. Yuck! There is a restaurant here that serves peanut butter on a hamburger!

:puke:

[GoneOffShore]

54. Sounds tasty to me.

But it would have to be crunchy.
