The Connecticut bakery that made the pickle cupcake for The Big E in 2023 is getting creative for another year at the largest fair in New England.
Luann’s Bakery and Cafe will be offering a new cupcake flavor at The Big E from Sept. 13-29. The new flavor is Maple Bacon.
The flavor was decided in a customer vote, according to an Instagram post. About 500 people voted.
It uses Ferrindino Maple. But the cupcake is different from the bakery’s past Maple Bacon Cupcakes.
“This one we used our vanilla cake, drizzled the pure maple syrup over top, let it soak in, then topped it with maple buttercream and finished it with maple syrup candied bacon. Perfection,” the bakery wrote.
It’s still experimenting with a gluten free option. However, the pickle cupcake will be offered as gluten free at The Big E this year, the bakery told MassLive. The standard pickle cupcake will also be offered.
