One of her most popular shows annually, as well as one which ticket holders do not know about in advance, Oprah’s Favorite Things 2007 show unveiled her list of gifts for those around her, and gave every item on the list to each member of the audience.
On her list were several items for cooks, as well as several items from Williams-Sonoma. One of those items is Perfect Endings Cupcakes. These are already-made cupcakes in an assortment of three delicious flavors: Red Velvet, Vanilla, and Chocolate. Each is frosted and topped with cake crumbs, coconut, or sprinkles. In each box of nine cupcakes, there are three of each flavor. These cupcakes are made from scratch with dietetically sinful ingredients such as fresh eggs and real butter.
These cupcakes are made by Napa Valley, California bakery Perfect Endings, and the recipe comes from the grandmother of the founder, Sam Godfrey.
Fourth on the slide show of Oprah’s list of favorite things, her website notes the following about the cupcakes, “Sam Godfrey, the cake genius behind Oprah’s 400-pound 50th birthday cake, is bringing his sweet treats to the masses for the first time. Perfect Endings Cupcakes can be shipped anywhere in the United States and come in three fabulous flavors: red velvet with white icing, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles and coconut.” (*they meant to write ‘and vanilla with coconut’)
Because they are perishable, Williams-Sonoma has them shipped overnight from the supplier, and cannot offer them as a gift-wrapped item. Quantities are limited, so orders must be placed by noon on November 23. Cost per box: $59
