The cup-cake craze goes a long way
Just read on Frankom that a woman in Kuwait called Fuddah makes cupcakes with an Arab twist. Check this:
- Kunafa on a bed of pistacio cupcake
- Baqlawa on a bed of walnut cupcake
- Rahash with rahash filling cupcake
- Halwa with halwa filling cupcake
- Zalabya with saffron cupcake
Now that is creativity. I’m not sure I’ll order them if they were in Jordan, the idea of knafeh on a cupcake is a little offensive to my Nabelsi genes, but I can’t help but appreciate the idea.
To look at the other pretty yummy looking cupcakes check out Frankom.

my Nabelsi genes would actually push me to try out anything that has to do with knafeh :)

I heard – but can’t verify – that Krispy Kreme here in Bahrain are doing special Ramadan versions, for example doughnuts stuffed with Bahraini halwa and topped with dates… (As if doughnuts didn’t have enough calories already.)
