Cupcakes are all the rage right now, and the trend is sweeping Clark County. The newest arrival on the local cupcake scene, The Sugar Mama’s Cupcakery, opened at the beginning of the year in Battle Ground Village and celebrated its grand opening Feb. 5-6.
The Sugar Mama’s Cupcakery (360-723-5420, http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sugar-Mamas-Cupcakery/119574151426303?sk=wall) offers a rotating menu of 10 to 12 cupcake varieties daily. Two of the most popular were inspired by Battle Ground Mayor Mike Ciraulo and his wife, Gilda.
The Sugar Mama’s Cupcakery created The Mayor based on ingredients Ciraulo likes. It’s a chocolate cupcake with chocolate chips and walnuts. Gilda’s cupcake, The First Lady, contains vanilla bean with dulce de leche, or caramel, filling and frosting.
Other best-sellers are the Oh My Gooey, a chocolate cupcake with caramel filling and chocolate frosting drizzled with more caramel; and the Chocolate Razz, a chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream frosting topped with a fresh raspberry, said Lisa Hinton, who owns The Sugar Mama’s Cupcakery with her sister and brother-in-law, Michelle and Chris Duenas.
