Cupcake mania here in the city shows no signs of stopping, and bakeries/cafes keep on meeting the demand with unstoppable enthusiasm and creativity. The latest effort, timed to tomorrow’s release of the DVD of the “Sex and the City” movie, is Crumbs Bakeshop’s bright pink cupcake, dubbed the Cosmopolitan. (The Fab Four’s favorite cocktail is the cosmopolitan.) The cupcake version is made with raspberry cake and it’s topped with a lime-accented cream cheese frosting and pink sanded sugar around the “rim.” The cupcake, big enough to be shared by at least two, will be on sale all this week at all five Crumbs Bakeshops, and it costs $3.50.

And at Kyotofu, the Hell’s Kitchen Japanese dessert specialist (705 Ninth Ave. bet. 48th and 49th Sts.; 212-974-6012), complex specialty cupcakes in flavors like yuzu-vanilla and coconut-shiso are so amazing you won’t believe they’re made with tofu. There’s also a chocolate soufflé version that is so excellent you may be tempted to eat it for breakfast. Hey, it’s tofu, right?

In other food news, the Food Emporium BridgeMarket is offering a wide array of exotic foods in its new “Taste of Africa” collection. Ripe for tasting are Zena exotic fruit jams, Elephant Pepper spices and sizzling sauces, Nando’s Marinades and Peri Peri sauces, Zoe Diva Organic extra virgin olive oil and Sherry Riserva vinegar. The Elephant Pepper spices and sauces use chilies grown by rural farmers to deter elephants from raiding their subsistence crops, according to Food Emporium. The Zena fruit spreads and jams, sold exclusively at The Food Emporium in Manhattan, are hand-crafted in Dakar, Senegal, and made with fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts cultivated regionally and harvested by hand. The Kenyan-based company called Honey Care Africa makes a natural and organic honey in flavors like acacia, African blossom, and highlands. Use to sweeten teas and juices, or drizzle on fruit salad or toast.
