Urban Cookies | OllieCake
Once an insurance agent, Brady Breese entered an employee bake-off competition and won with a flourless chocolate torte – this self-taught, homegrown culinary artist opened Urban Cookies and OllieCake one year later with his wife Shaun. Their motto is baking extraordinary cookies and cupcakes with organic, fresh, sometimes local, and always the highest quality ingredients, as well as natural dyes. This year Brady and his lead baker, Salvador Garcia, won the Food Network Cupcake Wars with these four Ollie Cake recipes:
• Orange Olive Oil and Rosewater Cupcake – an orange olive oil cake brushed with a honey glaze and topped with a rosewater scented butter cream frosting and a rose petal.
• Peach-Berry Shortcake Cupcake – a peach corn cake is topped with whipped cream, a berry compote and tarragon shortcake.
• Orange-Scented Chocolate Campfire Cupcake – an orange-scented chocolate cake is housed in an orange half, and then topped with cream cheese frosting and dark chocolate chards.
• Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Cupcake – Tomato and thyme cake is topped with a honey mascarpone frosting, Parmesan crisps and roasted, sugared tomatoes.
Each month, Salvador Garcia and Brady Breese makes a special flavor of cookies and cupcakes. Visit Urban Cookies at 7th Street and Highland in Phoenix, purchase their cookies at Whole Foods Markets, Luci’s Healthy Market Place and Press Coffee, or order online at urbancookies.com.
