The cup-cake craze goes a long way

September 6, 2009 at 12:24 am · Filed under Arabisms

Just read on Frankom that a woman in Kuwait called Fuddah makes cupcakes with an Arab twist. Check this:

  • Kunafa on a bed of pistacio cupcake
  • Baqlawa on a bed of walnut cupcake
  • Rahash with rahash filling cupcake
  • Halwa with halwa filling cupcake
  • Zalabya with saffron cupcake

Now that is creativity. I’m not sure I’ll order them if they were in Jordan, the idea of knafeh on a cupcake is a little offensive to my Nabelsi genes, but I can’t help but appreciate the idea.

    I heard – but can’t verify – that Krispy Kreme here in Bahrain are doing special Ramadan versions, for example doughnuts stuffed with Bahraini halwa and topped with dates… (As if doughnuts didn’t have enough calories already.)
