Social Snacking

» The best possible place to eat cupcakes is actually a bar. For proof, report to the Triple Rock Social Club on a Thursday night, order a Belgian ale, a big, no-kidding-two-hands-required burger, and crispy tater tots. Follow that up with a cupcake from local caterer (and cover star) Miel y Leche. Maybe you’ll get a spicy Mexican chocolate one, or a vegan blackberry one, or, if you’re very, very lucky, the Elvis cupcake, a banana-cake base topped with peanut-butter frosting and garnished with maple-candied bacon. Yes, bacon on a cupcake. Now the genius of your setting becomes clear, eating them in a bar allows you to have two, (or three!) and deny it in the morning. Triple Rock Social Club, 629 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls., 612-333-7399, triplerocksocialclub.com; Miel y Leche Catering and Bakery, mielyleche.net

Sheela Namakkal
Photo by Stephanie Colgan
March 2009
By Abby Van Ness

Who: St. Paul native Sheela Namakkal, an energetic baker known affectionately by many as “The Cupcake Lady.” She runs her own baking and catering business, Miel y Leche, and sells delectable treats at Mitrebox, The Golden Fig, and Triple Rock Social Club.
Photo by Stephanie Colgan
Fate Would Have It: In 2006, Namakkal decided her true calling was to open a business of her own, so she enrolled in classes at Hamline to earn an MBA. “I was in business school, and all I did was bake. I would bring baked goods to my classmates and my professors. I went for a year and a half, but just got too busy. The business was blowing up, and I thought, ‘I could study for class or I could book these three weddings.’ ”
Name Game: “I gave the business a name in spring 2007. It’s actually kind of funny: I always wanted a cat named Milk and a cat named Honey—one white and one caramel-colored—but I wanted to do it in Spanish because it’s cuter, so it was Miel y Leche.”
Cupcake Chaos: A mutual friend connected Namakkal with the owners of Letterbox, a cozy stationery shop in Uptown. Together, they launched Cupcake Saturday. “It started really quietly,” she says. “Then we got reviewed, and it just blew up.” When Letterbox closed in late 2008, Cupcake Saturday moved to Mitrebox.

Fun with Flavor: Not one to shy away from inventive flavors, Namakkal has prepared nearly seventy varieties, ranging from Red Velvet to Mexican Hot Chocolate to Raspberry Lemonade to The Elvis—a banana cupcake topped with peanut butter-marshmallow mousse and a crispy piece of bacon.
Trial and Error: “I like doing wacky flavors and I love it when clients want to do wacky flavors. I’ve done stuff that I think is awesome and maybe, like, three other people think is awesome—like the peanut butter and pickles flavor. That did not go over well with most.”
Not Just Sweets: Namakkal’s business has expanded to include a full catering menu, including antipasti, breads, quiche, skewers, and salads. “I am looking for a space to open my own little bakery/café. That’s what I really want to do. I want people to go everyday and find something fun and cool.”

Cupcake Saturdays at Mitrebox

I had the pleasure of trying one of Sheela Namakkal's special Miel y Leche cupcakes at the office a while back. One of our interns had the rough assignment of writing about her scrumptious creations. She used to sell the cupcakes at the Uptown stationery shop Letterbox, which has since closed. The owners of Mitrebox — Mary Fajack and Sara Nachreiner — seized the opportunity to invite Namakkal to sell her cupcakes at their store. They come in all kind of flavors — red hot velvet, sweetheart dark chocolate and white chocolate basil, among others.

Where: Mitrebox Framing Studio, 213 Washington Ave. N.

When: Saturdays, 10 a.m. until the cupcakes sell out (go to mielyleche.blogspot.com for more information)

Gastro Non Grata

Jessica Armbruster

Okay, so maybe you waited until the last minute to make a Valentine's Day reservation and instead ended up dining with your lady at White Castle. Or perhaps you are a single foodie and you spent Saturday night crying into your homemade chocolate pub cake. Maybe you just like quality free food. Whatever your motivations, grab your friend, crush, lover, sex slave, baby mama, or wife and bring him or her to Gastro Non Grata. Arouse your taste buds with two sample courses created by Modern Café's Jim Grell and chef Mike Phillips. Fans of pot roast will want to crib the chefs' suggestions on how to make the most succulent meat, and ways to get creative with the leftovers the next day. Tom Gardner of Duvel USA will also be on hand to talk about artisan beers and pairings. Enjoy sweets with your sweetheart as cupcake aficionado Sheela Namakkal bakes her tastiest coffee cupcakes. Rounding out the evening will be live music from Gospel Gossip, pop artists Skirt, psychedelic blues with Jim and the French Vanilla, and electro-pop with That's What You Get. As usual, you'll have the chance to win meat from Clancey's Butcher Shop at the weekly raffle. 21+.

VALENTINES!

Miel y Leche

Here at Secrets of the City world HQ, we fancy ourselves cupcake connoisseurs. The perfect cupcake has to look just as good as it tastes. And our sensitive palates can detect whether a dash of love -- of utmost importance -- has been added to the batter. Lucky for us, Twin Cities cupcake queen and caterer Sheela Namakkal adds not just a dash, but a heaping spoonful of love to each batch. With selections such as Roasted Peach with Lime Ginger, White Chocolate Lavender, and Rosewater with Pistachio Butter Cream -- just to name a few -- we can't help but have almost inappropriate fantasies involving these adorable cakes. Miel y Leche does not have a retail location, but cupcakes are available by special order (in two-flavor split dozens), and at the locations below on specific days.

Fridays, 10 a.m. @ The Golden Fig, 790 Grand Ave., St Paul

Saturdays, 10 a.m. @ Mitrebox, 213 Washington Ave. N., Minneapolis

For custom orders or catering visit www.mielyleche.net
