Philly Cupcake Shop Whips Up Something Special For Late Night

The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon debuted on NBC March of 2009. Former "Saturday Night Live" star Jimmy Fallon has given a great reason for YoCoPros across the nation to tune in to Late Night TV. Once looked at as "Our Parents" late night TV has come around and now features artists, actors and comedy segments that we can relate to. Not to mention our Philly originated favorite band: The Roots, who signed on as the show's band...becoming the first band of that stature to commit to a network TV series, and continue to tour during the networks off season.

The Boss is stopping by the Late Night Show TONIGHT!!!!! Our friend Casey and the crew at Whipped Bakeshop (at 636 Belgrade Street, Philadelphia, PA 19125) have baked some pretty amazing cookies to send up to NYC for the occasion....

Whipped Bakeshop was started by Philadelphia pastry artist Zoë Lukas. "Zoë's lifelong love of baking was born as a child among her dessert-loving family. Her father traveled frequently and was always in search of the finest bakeries in America, bringing home the tastiest treats he could find. Zoë tried them all. Meanwhile, her mother was an incredible baker in her own right, and her brother Jeff became a successful chef." (-Whipped Bakeshop website)

It was luck, according to Whipped Bakeshop's blog that a recent customer came into their shop who happened to help manage The Late Night Show's band, The Roots. After mentioning that Bruce Springsteen would be on the show tonight performing they asked Whipped if they would be interested in sending over some cookies to help them celebrate. They said: "Um yes. We would like to send cookies to Jimmy Fallon."

We YoCos, think these cookies are pretty f-ing awesome and will be watching Jimmy Fallon to see if there is a mention of our friends!!
