| - After enough bacon-and-cheese laden dogs next door at Dan's, you're sure to need medical attention sooner or later. That is, of course, unless you proactively follow the old adage and stop next door at the new "A Cupcake a Day."
If you're accustomed to cupcakes by Duncan or Betty, it's time to head down to the square and see just how delish these treats can be. The west coast has long been swept by $4 cupcakes from the likes of Sprinkles, Sibbey's, and Kara's, and if ACAD is any indication, the craze is about to hit the Midwest. Have no fear, the prices are regionally appropriate: $1.75 for full size, $1 for mini.
Here's the 'cake by 'cake:
Banana: By far the standout. Sure to be their best seller. The batter is full of fresh bananas (peak behind the counter and into the kitchen and you'll see metro shelving full of them.) Delicious banana infused cream cheese frosting.
Red velvet: The key to any RV is the cream cheese frosting, and this does not disappoint. The cake is respectable but nothing to write home about.
Chocolate: Nice and moist, not too sweet. Very pleasant!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip: Too sweet for some in our party. This is basically the cupcake equivalent of those cookies you make with peanut butter and sugar dough and a Hershey's kiss on top.
The soft opening was yesterday (12/26/2011), the grand opening is 01/07/2012. Considering we visited on their second day baking, the future looks bright for A Cupcake a Day. Now that you finally have one, support your local cupcakery!
