Whenever I am traveling, I seek the best cupcakes each city has to offer. With a five-star rating on Yelp, I figured I couldn't go wrong at D Liche, so my fiance and I actually purchased a dozen to take back to relatives living outside the city. We ordered one of each flavor to get the full taste experience...and while they were absolutely fine as far as cupcakes go, these were not as out of this world as the other reviewers might have you believe.
The frosting was average - certainly not of the Italian buttercream stock I prefer. The cake itself tasting like something out of Betty Crocker's kitchen (and I mean no insult to Ms. Crocker - I frequently pull her off the shelf at home). And for me, interesting flavors don't equal quality cupcakes (in fact, vanilla is the flavor I base my cupcake judgments on whenever I'm sampling). So again, the cupcakes were perfectly pleasant and tasty, but quite frankly, not in the ranks of some of New York or Chicago's finest.
