PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. — The dessert food truck called The Cupcake-A-Rhee has put together a special to honor the Flamingos that graced Port Washington's beach last Friday.
According to a social media post from the company, the Flamingo cupcake is pink velvet, with white chocolate ganache frosting, almond bark wings, royal icing head/neck, topped with white chocolate ganache "pearls."
Flamingos were spotted at a Port Washington beach on Friday, bringing dozens of people to catch a glimpse.
The birds, normally suited for a warmer place like South Beach in Miami, were spotted at South Beach in Port Washington around 2:30 p.m. Experts say the flamingos were flying between Cuba and Mexico when they were diverted by Hurricane Idalia, a Category 4 hurricane formed in late August.
It was a brief amount of time the five feathered friends hung out in Port Washington, but it was a day the people here will never forget.
It is expected that the flamingos will return to their habitats after temperatures drop, according to experts.
The cupcakes to honor the birds, meanwhile, are $3.50 each.
The owner said they are not taking pre-orders but if there is interest, they may offer the Flamingo cupcake for pre-orders later in the week to pick up at their kitchen on Friday.
Cupcake-A-Rhee will be in Port Washington on Tuesday and in Grafton and West Bend on Thursday.
