A friend recently introduced me to the handheld goodness of Mission Minis tiny tasty treats. Run by Brandon Arnovick, Mission Minis are delightful tiny cupcakes that are every bit as good as they look.
I indulged in Ruby Red Velvet, moist and sweet without being overwhelming. Two Aztec Chocolate, a dark bitter chocolate, still rich but not milky, and then a Classic Vanilla. The Classic Vanilla is made with cream cheese, which my friend was not overly enthusiastic about but which I felt gave the vanilla a richness it deserved. Also it cut the cloying or drying taste of vanilla cake I’ve had in the past.
The frosting was also delish! You can obtain these treats at a variety of outlets but a store is set to open soon at 3168 22nd Street. Be on the lookout for Mission Minis, or feel free to check them out at www.missionminis.com, free San Francisco delivery for orders of $25 or more. $15 /dozen. Also, I guess the owner delivers the treats on a golf cart. Go figure.
