Poutine and Cupcakes

Together at last!

On Sunday, Montréal hosted its first Cupcake Camp, a fundraiser for Kids’ Help Phone. Though the Cupcake Camp concept originated in San Francisco, several Montréal bakers put a decidedly Québécois spin on their creations:

Clever Cupcakes submitted the winning entry in the “Best Montreal Theme” category. Yes, that’s Youppi emerging from a poutine. On a cupcake. My mind is blown.

The Cake Is A Lie

A delicious, delicious lie.

Ronna is a poutine blogger in her own right and she created this poutine cake to celebrate the birthday of her incredibly fortunate partner.

The “french fries” are Sara Lee pound cake cut into fry shapes and toasted. The “cheese curds” are made out of white chocolate and the “gravy” is dulce de leche.

Can I get an om-nom-nom?
