Quack's bakery in Hydepark area of Austin, TX has good selection of baked goods (mainly dessert kinds, no artisan bread) and reasonably priced decent drinks.
This afternoon I found tiramisu cupcake on the shelf and couldn't resist to try one since it was one of the baking items that I always wanted to try and bake. Who could resist the savory combination of coffee and flavorful creamcheese! They served me the cupcake in a nice transparent plastic container that clicks and closes like a magic. The cake itself wasn't too sweet and had a good balance in flavor of coffee and mascapone creamcheese. They either digged or opened a hole in the middle of cupcake to get the bottom soaked in the coffee syrup and filled with creamcheese icing. There was subtle crunchyness in the icing and I believe it was black vanilla beans. It was a great refreshing sensation after rich creamy texture of the icing. The cake was very moist but not too soaggy. I think it would have collapsed if the cake part was too soft like the ones you can get from super stores' bakery section. The top of the icing was sprinkled cocoa powder and decorated with a thin chocolate piece. What a great casual version of tiramisu! It went just well with iced hibiscus lemonade.
What a perfect tea time in the middle of hot summer in Texas!
