Another New Vendor For The Roosevelt Island Farmers Market - Red Velvet Cupcakes & Rice Pilaf

Image of Vadim & Friends At Roosevelt Island Farmers Market

The Roosevelt Island Saturday Farmers Market continues to expand with new offerings and vendors. Vadim (pictured on the right) and his friends are offering Red Velvet cupcakes and what I think was a rice pilaf dish. They also provided their own music.  I did not try the Red Velvet Cupcakes but I did sample the rice pilaf and it was very tasty.

Blogger, A Girl Bakes In New York, makes the Red Velvet Cupcakes and writes:
... I've also recently been commissioned by a coworker to make 100 cupcakes for selling at his stall at a farmer's market on Roosevelt Island this weekend....
and:
... The cupcakes for Roosevelt Island are red velvet (this flavor continues to haunt me) with cream cheese frosting, and will be decorated with a red "RI" for Roosevelt Island (but whenever I see it abbreviated I keep thinking Rhode Island...).  Red and white are the colors because according to my coworker, red and white are the island's colors.  Probably because of the Roosevelt Island Tram...
Stop by and say hi to Vadim and his friends next Saturday at the Roosevelt Island Farmers Market. Let me know how the Red Velvet Cupcakes taste. If they come up with a cupcake with a peanut butter filling - count me in to buy several.
