Best known for its milkshakes loaded with jumbo slices of cake and piles of other garnishes, Black Tap has collaborated with Magnolia Bakery for years.
For Valentines Day 2021, the duty fell to red velvet cake.
This weekend, Black Tap incorporated Georgetown Cupcake into a limited-time Independence Day milkshake at the Hamptons location.
Meanwhile, Hot Cake Summer is melting into hippie love. Evidence lies in the Ample Hills Creamery Summer of Love flavor, featuring Baked by Melissa mini cupcakes.
This ice cream and cupcake love story is hardly new to 2021. Salt & Straw created a salted caramel cupcake flavor with Cupcake Royale in 2012, as illustrated by this news story and this blog post.
