So I was having a chat with someone today at lunch. Let's call him Tim - because that's his name. We came across the topic of how to put Cleveland in a cupcake. I mean New York could have a Big Apple cupcake and Maine could have ummm... a lobster cupcake? But what would you put in a Cleveland cupcake. The answer.. Great Lakes beer! So I am going to try it. I have a chocolate Guinness cupcake recipe that I am going to substitute with a bottle of Great Lake's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. As with a stout, the chocolate and coffee undertones lend it well to a cupcake. What would you put in a Cleveland cupcake? And don't say homeless people or polluted lake water.

I think it's a given that a Cleveland Cupcake couldn't be anything but Chocolate for the BROWNS!
Perhaps it could be decorated like a dog?
Or, you could figure out a way to make a polish dessert pierogi, and use coconut shavings to give it the appearance of saurekraut.
The Cleveland Cupcake should not be ostentatious, but it should be delicious for those who are willing to give it a try.
I think it should be a chocolate & vanilla marble with orange icing.
The chocolate & vanilla represent the cultural diversity of Cleveland while the orange is a fun little comment on the river catching fire.
Plus it's Browns colors.
Hmmm, you should pioneer some chocolate pierogies with fudgy goodness inside and a choco-pasta outside...serve it in a cupcake wrapper.
I love the sauerkraut pierogi idea! You could do shredded coconut for the sauerkraut! :)
But a beer cupcake? That could be amazing too...
I can't wait to see what they come up with!
Why not make actual cupcakes for dogs? You could sell them at Browns tailgates and at dog parks. Lots of puppy owners would buy them!
