| - I woke up early one morning and stumbled into this cupcake place...opting to skip eating breakfast at McDonalds' inside the food court, I somehow stumbled into this small place located next to the Monte Carlo Pub. I decided to try something different for breakfast, and give their cupcake a try. I ordered the "Oh, My Gosh" cupcake, which the girl suggested as one of their most popular cupcakes. After grabbing a cup of coffee at Starbucks, I sat down and began to dissect my cupcake. The vanilla cupcake was filled with a chocolate ganache, topped with chocolate and vanilla buttercream. The cupcake was moist, but the cream was a tad bit dense and way too sweet. I would have enjoyed it more with a beer, but the sweet cupcake didn't go so well with my caramel macchiato; way too much sugar to start the day! The cream frosting was just too thick and heavy for my liking, and too sweet. The cupcake was $3.75 plus tax, which came out to be $4.08...honestly since when do they start charging tax on cupcakes!?
For the price of the cupcake, I did not think it was worth $4. I would have been better off going to Jean Phillipe or Payard and getting a sweet dessert or a pastry. Other cupcake places like Sprinkles make better cupcakes than here, but so far I have not found too many cupcake shops on the strip in Vegas. I guess if you have a cupcake craving these cupcakes might satisfy your appetite, but don't expect these cupcakes to be breathtaking delicious. The cupcakes seem to be okay, they definitely have room for improvement, such as making the cupcake a tad less sweet. I will probably go back to try a different cupcake, hopefully the next cupcake will turn out better!
