Got Cupcakes?
Nashville’s famous Gigi’s Cupcakes has opened a Cedar Park location at 1890 Ranch and sells “to die for” cupcakes in a variety of flavors. Residents are only minutes away from picking up one of these after dinner treats that make their kids scream in delight.
A favorite of locals, the Kentucky Bourbon Pie cupcake has bourbon crème frosting, chocolate glaze, sprinkled toasted pecans and mini-marshmallows. Compared to normal cupcakes, these are Texas-sized and a mouthful of fun. Imagine biting into frosting that is twice as high as the cupcake itself. Residents can hike back home with a big box and not feel quite so guilty that they have indulged along the way.
Blue Corn Crispy Salmon and the Legacy of Southwestern Cuisine
The Blue Corn Harvest Bar & Grill adds a spicy twist to the local dinner scene with fresh Southwestern-style dishes. The owners, who together have almost 40 years in the restaurant business, take their mission seriously. “Blue corn or maize has been essential throughout the centuries with the culture and life of the Southwestern Native American people (Hopi, Pueblo, Navajo and Zuni tribes). Blue Corn Harvest is committed to continue the legacy of Southwestern cuisine by using only the best quality and traditional ingredients to create delicious and authentic Southwestern dishes…. Blue Corn Harvest always provides the freshest ingredients from local farms seasonally,” says the front of every menu.
The menu boasts Southwestern items like New Mexico Pork Verdes, vibrant Southwest-influenced salads. Popular entrees include the Blue Corn Crispy Salmon. This, one of several signature dinner offerings, is accompanied by crab and avocado salad, roasted tomatillo buerre blanc, cheddar seared potato cake, and farm-fresh vegetables of the day and Tinga Chicken Rellenos — Anaheim peppers stuffed with chipotle chicken and jack cheese on top of green chili sauce and picante cream, black beans and veggie rice. The bar offers a number of specialty Margaritas and mojitos. The Sunday brunch from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon is quite popular.
