This recipe for a Chicken and Waffle Cupcake was created by the pastry experts at the Caked Up Café at 345 7th Avenue in New York City. The café is world famous for its wildly flavored cupcakes and custom-designed celebration cakes.
The Chicken and Waffle Cupcake came about as the chefs wanted to create the perfect brunch dessert. They brainstormed some ideas and came up with a play on a favored combination: chicken and waffles.
The treat is a maple cupcake that’s topped with vanilla buttercream, a mini waffle and a juicy piece of fried chicken. It’s the ultimate brunch experience in one dish.
