Baked By Melissa Adds New Pink Buttercream Cupcake To Its Menu

Although I’m a foodie at heart, I’m also a makeup lover. You can’t stop me from getting my hands on a makeup collaboration especially when it’s with a food brand I love. A few months ago, Smucker’s tagged teams with Nails.INC for limited-edition polishes inspired by the colorful jams and now Baked by Melissa is hopping on the bandwagon with Laura Geller Beauty. Honestly, food and makeup collabs? I’m here for it. Might not be good for my wallet, but at least my taste buds and cheek bones will be satisfied.

Baked by Melissa Launches Pink Buttercream Cupcakes

These cupcakes are Baked by Melissa’s September Mini of the Month and are inspired by Laura Geller’s iconic Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush. They have pink marbleized velvet cake, white chocolate raspberry ganache, light pink vanilla icing and a pink sugar topping. In other words, they are bite-sized bliss and you can essentially eat the entire box in one sitting. And no, I’m not speaking from experience (well, maybe I am, but let’s not talk about that right now). If you’re a fan of anything pink, pretty, and ridiculously snackable, this cupcake is basically your dream dessert.

As for the blush itself, it is available in satin and matte finishes and works to create a flushed and rosy look on the cheeks with just a swipe. If you know me, then you know I love a super pigmented blush and this one is buildable enough to get it to that level if you want it to be.

Where To Get The Limited-Edition Pink Buttercream Cupcake?

Looking to get your hands on these dainty little cupcakes? The limited-edition Pink Buttercream cupcake is available now through October 20th. The 25-pack can be purchased online and in-stores and the 12-Pack can be found at all 10 New York and New Jersey locations. Don’t want all of your cupcakes to have the pink buttercream? You can add a few of them to a pick your own box at select stores just to get a taste.

If it was me, I’d get a handful of this flavor and then opt for the classic flavors red velvet, cookie dough, mint tie, or tie-dye. This collaboration makes the perfect gift for the makeup lover in your life—just think about it—a dozen cupcakes with one of the blushes? You really can’t go wrong with that.
