| - Thank God the bf has been limiting me to the number of cupcakes I buy since the start of the new year or else I most likely would have purchased six instead of two Sweet Surrender cupcakes. Little did I know that all the nasty cupcakes I've eaten in my lifetime had joined forces to create Sweet Surrender cupcakes, probably the worst cupcakes I've eaten. Ever.
Ugh, I expected a lot for a cupcake shop located inside Palazzo. Found right near the guest elevators, the shop is so small, you'd miss it if you blinked while walking by. The place also sells (supposedly) hard to find candies and treats, but as a cupcake fiend, one can only guess what I was here for....
Between Chocolate Ganache, Lemon Strawberry, Carrot, Strawberry, Coconut, Chocolate Fudge, and Red Velvet, I chose the latter two. The cupcakes looked prettier than your standard cupcake, but these looks would just turn out to be hopelessly deceiving (no, I didn't have beer googles on). Again, good thing I had a purchasing limit. Cost? Six dollars ($3 each), but, um, not including TAX. I have never been charged tax on a cupcake. Whatever, I wasn't about to make a fuss over 49 cents.
I didn't get a chance to try these bad boys until 24 hours later, but I don't think this is an excuse for how poor these cupcakes tasted. The cream cheese on the Red Velvet tasted..spoiled. I actually spit out my bite. The Chocolate Fudge cupcake was slightly better - the fudge topping was bearable. But the cakes of both cupcakes were dry dry dry - like choking on sandpaper.
After I tossed the remnants of my cupcakes, J asked me, "That bad, huh? So you won't ever go back?" My reply, "Hells no."
P.S. There's also some decadent $750 cupcake on the menu. Even if I had an abundance of money, I still wouldn't want to try this cupcake after this experience. Yuck.
