| - Today is (or should I say, was) the first day of my "no eating cupcakes" diet.
However, the lure of "salted caramel" cupcakes was too much to bear, and I ended up trying TopIt Cupcakes.
The storefront is really cute, and clean, and the people that work there are very nice!
There is a little area on the wall where you can "top it" if you want to add to your cupcake toppings, as well ( I've never seen that before, but it's a great idea).
Now, for the sugary details.
I only ordered 2 cupcakes today (down from the normal 6, but I cannot continue to eat like this and fit in my skinny jeans!). Although I have never had a good peanut butter cupcake (usually too greasy) I ordered a peanut butter and jelly cupcake, and of course, salted caramel.
Both of the cupcakes were good in flavor, but the salted caramel could've used more sea salt (just a tad more, mind you).
The peanut butter and jelly (finally!) was my fave of the day. It was a white cupcake filled with grape jelly with peanut butter frosting (and, a little cookie on top). FINALLY, a cupcake store that got peanut butter right!
Here's the negative on TopIt: Compared to Caketini (the best I've tasted so far) the cupcakes both were a little on the no-so-fresh-in-texture side. Not that the cupcakes were dry, but the tops were a little "crusty". I know...picky,picky, picky...
I get that they don't use preservatives, and I am happy for that, but just a tad more on the fresh side would've snagged me for life...or the life of my skinny jeans...
Also, these cupcakes are "normal" size, which I personally like better than the biggies at some of the other cupcake stores...
Still, this place has a lot to offer in the cupcake world, and I'll definitely be back on Fridays for Cotton Candy, Malted Milk Ball and whatever I can stuff in my ever-growing tummy.
