BUFFALO, N.Y. (Photo By Janet Schultz Photography) — Kim Pegula, together with Tara and Jonathan Bondi of Baked Cupcakery, today announced the creation of the One Buffalo Cupcake in a luncheon event at Beaver Island’s River Grill, near Baked Cupcakery’s Grand Island store.
Designed by Kim Pegula, the One Buffalo Cupcake is a gourmet, modern-style caramel cupcake with salted buttercream frosting, topped with sponge candy pieces and chocolate covered pretzels.
“We want to give passionate Western New Yorkers new ways to show their Buffalo pride through various food and beverage items,” said Kim Pegula, co-owner of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, and Pegula Sports and Entertainment’s President and CEO. “I love desserts, and wanted to join a respected local bakery in designing a cupcake that can be uniquely identified as a Western New York favorite.
In Baked Cupcakery, we have partnered with a passionate, local start-up business that serves our community with gourmet food items. Jonathan’s culinary expertise helped us create a blend of flavors that provides a delicious, unique taste to be enjoyed by all.”
Baked Cupcakery’s One Buffalo Cupcake joins Southern Tier’s One Buffalo Our Beer, and Perry’s One Buffalo Premium Ice Cream as specialty One Buffalo food and beverage items that are served across Western New York. The cupcake will be available at Baked Cupcakery on Grand Island, in KeyBank Center on the Premcom Suite Level and KeyBank Club, and at Tops Friendly Markets across Western New York.
“It has been an honor to work with Kim Pegula to create the One Buffalo Cupcake,” said Jonathan Bondi, owner and founder of Baked Cupcakery. “Kim’s passion for One Buffalo and love of desserts have combined with our fresh, all-natural ingredients to create a gourmet cupcake that Western New Yorkers will love. It’s our goal to be of service to the community we love, and we are extremely proud to be the creators of this One Buffalo product!”
