Owner Liz Begosh may have named her new Graduate Hospital confectionery shop after her grandmother, but shes certainly not selling her grandmothers cupcakes. Her inventive updates on classic flavors include the Black Velvet, a fruity take on red velvet that uses blackberries, and the Brawler, a spiced-apple variety that gets its kick from apples stewed in Yardss Brawler ale.
