Eat My Muffin
Odd and I were looking for a café where we can hangout a bit before he goes to work and me going to the gym. As we walked from our place passing this shopping center called Xhibition, I remembered this new café called Eat My Muffin. I’ve been there twice with some of my classmates. Their muffins and cupcakes are to die for. They’re just sinfully good and the price is just right.
Here are some photos taken by my iPhone:
+ Logo of Eat My Muffin.
+ The Vulkan cupcake. I think it’s a humorous reference to Iceland’s volcanic eruption and its ashes creating a stir on Europe’s air transportation.
+ We ordered the Vulkan and Oreo cupcakes.
+ Odd got the Oreo cupcake since he loves a dessert with Oreo cookies.
I think Eat My Muffin is a really catchy name for such an establishment though it sounded somewhat *whispering* dirty too. Especially with how the words being phrased at and the word muffin can be misconstrued as a female’s genital organ. Some people think that they ought to change the name, but I think otherwise. I find it just appropriate and it’s stuck in my head. Meaning, in the world of marketing they’ve done a nifty job with the branding. Lastly, If you’re in Bergen don’t forget to visit this wonderful café!
On a lighter note, I am still looking for a new design-related job and I hope this digital portfolio will prove beneficial to me. I am above begging, but I am a desperate student/designer/homemaker, so here it goes:
If anyone from Bergen wants to hire me please raise your hand and say ‘I’!
That’s all.
P.S.
The Muffin Monsters as all of the other illustrations in this site are done by moi using Illustrator.
Det var veldig godt.mmmmm
Ja, det var det…skal vi ta en tur dit igjen?
Ur pics are great and now i want a muffin like the one Odd took.
Hope that u’ll find a job quickly.
Take care.
Thanks dear!
We have lots of great muffin shops here, too. And the puritanical old USA is not afraid of sly double-entendres for their baked goods, though they’re not quite as forthright as Norway. I can’t say it’s my favorite shop, but it’s the one I stop by most often: Red Velvet….there. that could get you thinking of…well…Mrs. Santa Claus??? haha. The best cupcakes are at Delectable Cakery right here in modest little Mt. Rainier (Maryland….we don’t have nearly the $$ or the cachet of the same place in the state of Washington). Others go crazy for Georgetown Cupcakes, but I have never laid eyes on the place, and all I know of it was that old ladies (well, probably younger than me) used to ask me where it was. Sorry, girls….I can tell you where all the good watering holes are, but cupcakes? mercy.
Good luck with your job search. You’re so creative….think of something really FUN to peddle. Customized stationery? Wedding invitations? Business cards? I think of you as a brave little airplane battling your way through the volcanic ash……
I saw this program on Lifestyle channel where they showcase those cupcakes and muffins in the USA. They looked sooooo good.
You’re lucky that your area has tons of shops dedicated in serving those with the sweet tooth.
In regards with getting a job, I really really hope that I get a job before summer comes.
I am actually thinking of the same thing, but I need to register myself as a one-man firm because one cannot just sell stuff or services here without paying taxes. The government has a very strict rule in regards with that.
love their logo, even the simple handmade vulcan sign. the toppings look unlike anything i’ve seen in manila. ever considered illustrating a children’s book, charles?
It’s also my first to see toppings like those even here. They’re very generous with it and it’s great for the customers.
You’re right, I could try illustrating a children’s book. Sounds awesome! Thanks for suggesting it! Hehehehhe
Oh My Lordy…those Muffins look scrumptious….! That Oreo Muffin would be for me, too…though if that is Chocolate on top of the Vulcan I might have to have one of those as well….lol!
I like the name of this shop because it has a double meaning….It is a clever name and the ‘overtones’ are nicely provocative…!
I wonder if those Muffins travel well across the ocean….YUMMMMM!
Hello Naomi! I think they have another variety of that Vulkan Cupcakes with chocolate topping. I saw it once on a picture on their Facebook profile.
I’ll try to check if it’s possible to ship those cupcakes/muffins and if yes, then I’ll send you some!
Was that not your previous blog name
Wow…that looks good… no wonder you need to go to the gym after eating there !
Hi Sidney! My previous blog name was the Queer Chef. I think you meant the Butter My Muffin which is my captcha on my comment system.
MMMMmmmm you’re iPhone makes me envy you – and so do the muffins
Happy Weekend to you and Odd!
Hello Renny! LOL! I’m actually surprised that the iPhone has a very nice picture quality despite the fact that it only has 3 megapixel on its camera.
Happy weekend to you and Diane!
Wow those cupcakes look absolutely delicious! Oreos are my favorite too. I have a recipe for oreo cupcakes that are next on my agenda for baking myself! I am so excited to make them!
I also love the name of that place! I must admit I thought dirty thoughts too, though!
I love Oreos too! Can you share the recipe?
OH. OH wow… That made me incredibly hungry, and I have a wedding dress to squeeze into in a week!
I guess I’ll have to wait for the honeymoon… I hope I can find something that looks that tasty to enjoy!
The image at the top made me laugh!
I sent myself by to say hi, and to wish you an awesome weekend, Charles! Great to see you playing the MEET n’ GREET!
Wow! I am so happy for you and congrats on your wedding!
Hey Charles….Netchick..or Tanya, sent me! This is the first time I have been on her M&G site in such a long long time….Happy it’s you I am visiting my dear.

Oh my goodness, Charles!
Those look divine, the OREO CUPCAKE especially. Not only that, they’re also huge. I don’t think I can finish one, but it’s definitely something I would want to eat. It looks too yummy to not want to try it
Hello Russ! Oh yes, they really look divine especially when you go in to their café and see those goodies lining up on the counter. It makes me wished that I’m not on a diet. Hehehhe
Wishing you luck with your new venture and wow those muffins look spectacular….
Great photos…

Hmnn…those muffins look so yummy. How I wish I could taste them.
They do and I am trying to replicate a healthier version of those wonderful cupcakes.
Those muffin monsters are pretty funny.
That place looks disgustingly delicious.
Thanks Pieter and it’s my first to read the word disgusting next to delicious LOL!
Man, those cupcakes look like they’re to die for.
So true heheheh.
Hello Blair! Oh sure no problem!
My buttons just popped looking at those. Didn’t your comment tag used to say “butter my muffin?” Or was that someone else?
Yes, I used the phrase butter my muffin as a comment tag before. Hehehe I just wanted to be cheeky that time.
i have to go to this cafe when i visit bergen. don’w know when yet, but some time in the future!
Yes, you should! Heheheh
don’t talk to me about vulcano it killed my vacation to Turkey ! Cheers de Paris PIerre
Oh I am so sorry to hear that Pierre. I hope you can still resume you vacay on a later date.
WOW! I love that you love my muffin!
And I love the illustration on top of this page! Thank you soooo much!
You’re always welcome! I am also very happy that you like the illustration that I made.
I love cakes, pies, muffins, cupcakes and everything sinful. I gained weight just by looking at these delightful goodies.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. See you again tomorrow!
