| - Why are people hating on cupcakes? CUPCAKES, of all things?
I experienced mini versions of these sweet cuppin' cakes at a Yelp event earlier in the Summer, and so entranced was I in these wee edibles, that I vowed to: "Get thee to a Cupcakery(TM)!"
And so I did.
Admittedly, $3 bucks a cake is a bit much, but I did notice a sign that Nevada apparently no longer applies sales tax to baked goods, it was a flat $3.
I tried the PB Jammin' cake, which was peanut butter with a hint of grape jelly. Everyone is bemoaning that these pastries are dry, but mine was moist and flavorful. I personally liked it, as it reminded me of one of those little Crustables sandwiches, but it was a cupcake.
....
(You were expecting me to say it tasted like something else, maybe?)
I've has the Southern Belle before, and those are indeed good times. I was tempted to try other flavors, but one can only spend so much on gourmet cupcakes. One can also only eat so much on gourmet cupcakes. Overdose would likely translate into bad times.
As a "special treat", it speaks volumes. I personally am a bigger fan of the "wee cupcakes", but you can't win them all.
