The venue, itself, defines the meaning of hole in the wall. Don’t let that deter you, as the food is delicious. Brownies, scones, turnovers, cakes, pies… I only wish I could’ve sampled more of the fare. Luckily, I successfully smuggled a vanilla cheesecake cupcake through security. (The seitan I tried to bring back was another story; they made me empty my bag so they could scan it individually. We all know that seitan is the stuff of terrorists, right? Well, that and liquids over 4 ounces. In the end, they did let me keep the seitan. Thank you La Guardia Airport Security!)
A few days later, back in the comfort of my Texas home, I constructed a lovely little second breakfast around the flourless cheesecake cupcake:
The apple-juice-sweetened (?!) tofu cupcake was divine–not too sweet, but perfectly soft and full of flavor.
Cheesecake cupcake? I’ll take a dozen. You should definitely play around and come up with a recipe.
Damnit, now I want cheesecake.
Delicious! I travel all the time and the four ounces of liquid rule is the stupidest thing ever. Le sigh.
Glad they let you keep the seitan, Katie!
The cheesecake cupcake looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I baked cupcakes and frosted them with my new tips today and thought of you! 🙂

That cheesecake cupcake looks so cute and innocent! There’s this italian bakery by where my parents live and they offer “sugar-free” treats. Surprisingly they’re not sweetened with splenda but rather apple juice. So I guess technically they’re not sugar-free, but I’m glad they have this alternative 🙂 And surprised as well!
I wonder if they have Pearl River Mart over where I am. I’m moving to a new place soon and I feel like getting cute bowls!
