| - I want to like PGB.. I really do. But my experience was underwhelming. The flavours sounded tempting. The cupcakes were sitting so prettily on the displays. The storefront is so cute. There was a line infront of me. I suspect many hungry workers sneaking a cupcake into their afternoon coffee break. When it's my turn, it took me forever to choose. Finally, I got the red velvet with cream cheese frosting, the chocolate with vanilla bean frosting, and the vanilla with cinnamon frosting.
As a cupcake lover, I've had my fair share of cupcakes. What do I look for? A moist cake, a rich and delicious flavour, delicious not too buttery, not too stiff frosting. And a pretty presentation helps too.
My biggest issue with these cupcakes was that it was so dry. It's no fun biting into a dried up cake. Flavour wise, none of the cakes were very rich. Red velvet cake tastes slightly different from other red velvets I've tried. Frosting tastes good though. But then as I took another bite, the top part split from the bottom part. The cake even though dry, was super light so the heavy frosted top just toppled right to the side.. and then onto the floor. Sad =*(
Price wise, it was average. I think it was $1.75 for a mini and $2.75 for a regular cupcake.
I'll have to try these again in the near future, perhaps at their other location. Maybe the key is to fatten up their cakes more so it becomes more moist. Butter makes everything taste better right? :D
