Mountain Farm Lavender a Flavor Hit
July 9th, 2008
Asheville - Morsels Cupcakes, Asheville’s bake-to-order gourmet cupcake business, rocked the annual Mountain Farm Lavender Festival with its Lavender-Vanilla Cupcake on Saturday and Sunday. “Most people were curious about how lavender would taste in cake,” said Nancy Corley, owner of Morsels.
The Lavender-Cream Brulée cupcake was a sellout. “ We infused the cream with Mountain Farm Lavender and it tastes fantastic. Many thanks to Jenny Kommit of Stovetrotters Restaurant for helping us develop it.”
“Mountain Farm also inspired a high bush blueberry-almond cupcake. We picked the blueberries less than 200 feet from our sales tent. That’s what I call fresh!” said Pam Hotch, Morsels Cupcakes’ festival coordinator.
“We felt fortunate to be a part of Mountain Farm’s Festival.. We like to buy local whenever possible, and Marilyn Cade’s work here makes it easy to do that.”
