Catherine discovered the event since she works right across the street. Then we invited Marilyn and Dave and I brought my mum.

Yesterday afternoon, I BARTed over to Civic Center where Off the Grid was taking place. It's a weekly gathering of food trucks. I wanted to try a cupcake from Cupkates. When I got there, the only flavor they had left was double vanilla, so I got that.
The cake part was very good and moist, but I wasn't a big fan of the buttercream frosting. It was thick and buttery like Miette's, but there was a strange bitterness that started to come out about halfway through. I think it was the alcohol from vanilla extract or something. Next time, I'll try the red velvet (cream cheese frosting) or the tiramisu (mascarpone frosting).
Food truck extravaganza! Appears weekly in various places around the Bay Area. This is the one in Alameda on Saturdays
