| - It was a sunny, spring day in Champaign, and after a quick lunch at Cafe Kopi, I spotted Cream and Flutter across the street and thought it sounded like a place that might have some sweets for me. Upon consulting Yelp, I was surprised to see I had been there 6 years ago, though back then, this place was called Cakes on Walnut. Yelp is one super handy library for all your past fooding et al excursions, if you didn't realize!
I wasn't in a buttercream mood, so I asked which of the 5 cupcakes (including strawberry lemonade and white chocolate raspberry) on display didn't have that type of frosting. Of the red velvet and vanilla, I chose the vanilla.
The giant pinwheel macarons called to me, so I walked away with a pistachio one. I wouldn't return for the cupcake (the frosting was too sugary and sweet), but that macaron was heaven! Cookie portion was chewy in a good way, and the filling was a smooth, not overly greasy or oily buttercream. Turns out I had buttercream on that day in the end. I'll be back for another macaron!
