The Cake Fetish Location at Tin Can Alley on Alameda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Americans are absolutely food obsessed!\u00a0 It’s become alarmingly obvious in our culture of caloric overachievers that few of us miss any meals. It’s also telling (yet seemingly innocuous) that many of the terms of endearment we use for one another are related to food.\u00a0 Terms such as honey, sugar, pumpkin and others are regularly used by sweet-talking lotharios of both genders.<\/p>\n

One term of endearment which has grown out of fashion is “cupcake” which in today’s vernacular refers to a woman whose front and back body fat hangs over the waistline, giving the woman the “top of the cupcake” look. While “cupcake” may have become an intended compliment which will get your face slapped, cupcakes themselves have been reestablished as a cool, viable and in-demand dessert option. \u00a0It should be pointed out that women aren’t the only gender who can acquire that “cupcake” shape (as I’m reminded when I eat too many cupcakes).<\/p>\n

\"Cake
Cake Fetish Cupcakes at its Original Location on Louisiana Blvd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The innovative Slate Street Cafe<\/strong><\/a> may have reinvigorated the “cupcakes as dessert” trend in Albuquerque, but with the March, 2006 launch of Cake Fetish, Carrie Mettling (formerly an architect later to launch the much missed \u00a0Rebel Donut<\/strong><\/a>) took it to the next step.\u00a0 Her tiny gourmet cupcake bakery celebrated all great things cupcake with a luscious line-up of colorful (and colorfully described) cupcakes of all varieties, each one seemingly more delicious than the other.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Carrie sold her business to Ron and Caryn Koerner who maintained her uncompromising standards for quality and freshness. In 2011, the Harris Family (Bill and his daughter-in-law Kendall) assumed ownership and the pride of local ownership. \u00a0Their “mission statement describes that pride: “You will not find any pre-packaged mixes. With the highest quality control, we hand-measure all of our mixes and whip our signature Buttercream from scratch. We are proud to create everything from milk, eggs, butter, sugar; nothing you can’t spell, just like grandma’s home baking<\/em>!”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cupcake Magic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Harris family has expanded their bakery operation, making cupcakes more widely available to Duke City denizens who appreciate dessert any time of day. \u00a0The original location remains the tiny space at Albuquerque Uptown’s Encantada Squre on Louisiana. \u00a0The second location is ensconced near the entrance of the sensational Tin Can Alley, one of the most architecturally unique sites in Albuquerque. \u00a0You can order online from a menu listing decadent and delicious cupcakes, cakes, keto baked goods and dessert bar items. \u00a0As the menu indicates, “we’re more than just cupcakes<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Kendall and her team create their craveable cupcakes at the original location and shuttle their handiwork to Tin Can Alley. Kendall is self-taught, telling the Albuquerque Journal<\/strong><\/a> “Everyday, we start from scratch and push our imagination in the creative process<\/em>.” In 2015, that imagination and creativity took Kendall and her team to an appearance on the Cooking Channel’s competition series, “Sugar Showdown<\/em>,” a fun and intense competition series that celebrates all things sweet and delicious. \u00a0Competing against professional chefs Kendall won the competition and $10,000 in the process.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cupcakes For Kim, Gil and The Dude<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The only competition in which Albuquerque’s cupcake fanatics have to engage is making sure their favorite cupcakes aren’t all gone by the time they get to Cake Fetish. \u00a0These are not your ordinary cupcakes, not by any long shot. \u00a0We haven’t tried them all, but those we have tried were thoroughly enjoyable–even to this curmudgeon who doesn’t like anything cloying. \u00a0Yes, that includes buttercream. \u00a0I scrape it off the top of the cupcakes with a spoon and give it to my Kim. \u00a0Even sans buttercream, the cupcakes are fabulous. \u00a0Note<\/strong>: \u00a0Not all the cupcakes described below may be on the menu when you visit.<\/p>\n

7 July 2007<\/strong>: \u00a0Culinary historians know that the Mayans were marrying chocolate and chile creations centuries ago, but it’s unlikely they ever crafted anything quite as wonderful as the Hot Chocolate<\/em><\/strong> cupcake, a chocolate cake dipped in chocolate ganache with a kiss of red chile infused butter cream. The red chile sneaks up on you and gives the chocolate an unexpected flavor explosion.\u00a0 If New Mexico’s state legislature ever decides to name an official state cupcake, this one should be it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pucker Up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

7 July 2007<\/strong>: If citrus producing Florida named an official state cupcake, perhaps it should import the Creamsicle<\/em><\/strong> and lionize it as a wonderful representation of the freshness you’ll find in the state’s oranges.\u00a0 The Creamsicle is adorned with vanilla and orange swirled French butter cream.\u00a0 You’d swear you were eating a Creamsicle were it not for the fact that this cupcake isn’t served off-the-freezer cold.<\/p>\n

7 July 2007<\/strong>: My other early favorite is called the Inside-Out German Chocolate <\/em><\/strong>(coconut, pecan, caramel-filled chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream topped with toasted coconut).\u00a0 It’s made with coconut and pecan icing then crowned with chocolate French butter cream and toasted coconut.\u00a0 If you’re an aficionado of German chocolate cake, you’ll be besotted by this wonderful cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Peanut Butter Cookie Studded with M&Ms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

8 November 2023<\/strong>: \u00a0Pucker-up, the act of contracting one’s lips as in preparation for a kiss is an apt name for Cake Fetish’s intensely lemony pucker-up cupcake<\/strong><\/em> (lemon-filled vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and a candy lemon slice). \u00a0 This gem is moist, fluffy and topped with a zingy lemon buttercream. \u00a0It’s got the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. \u00a0The tartness won’t purse your lips, but it will give you a memorably refreshing sensation.<\/p>\n

8 November 2023<\/strong>: \u00a0Living in the Boston area for two years back in my youth inculcated in me a predictable love for so many things Beantown: \u00a0fried clams, lobster, the Boston Celtics and…Boston cream pie (tender vanilla sponge cake filled with silky vanilla pastry cream all topped by a glossy chocolate ganache). \u00a0Cake Fetish’s Boston cream cupcake<\/strong><\/em> (bavarian cream-filled vanilla cake dipped in chocolate ganache with vanilla buttercream) brings back so many memories of my time in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

In an era in which the word “fetish” itself has connotations of deviance, it’s refreshingly delicious to know that the word can be applied to something as wonderfully delicious as cupcakes.<\/p>\n
