I was really hoping to love Cloud 9 because I haven't found a dessert place in Charlotte that just has killer desserts yet, but the cupcake I got was just average. I got the sea salt caramel filled cupcake, and as a whole it was decent but nothing special. The cake itself was plain white/vanilla cake and was a little dry. It was filled with caramel, but the filling was only in the center and essentially just formed a block that didn't really add any flavor to the cupcake overall except by being overwhelming for 1-2 bites of the middle. The frosting was whipped, and it was way too light and fluffy for my girlfriend or I to enjoy. Normally I like whipped frosting, but this was so light that it was almost airy and more similar to a mousse and ultimately lacked sweetness or any flavor. There was a little caramel drizzle on top, but this caramel sea salt cupcake was more of a plain vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting and then small hints of caramel attempted to be added in.
