| - In the words of Belinda Carlisle, oooh, heaven is a place on Earth, and that place is Cupcake Delirium.
Some fellow Yelpers and myself got together to check out the new 7th Street Market the other night, and coincidentally, Chow Down Uptown was going on right next door behind Dixie's. While we were eating our first round of dinner and lattes from the market and the trucks, a man came around with cupcake samples from another bakery. While they were good, one of our group insisted we had not lived until we had Cupcake Delirium, so we headed back over to the lot for dessert.
The 7 of us pooled our money and got 2 4-packs to save money. My red velvet was To Die For, (capitalization intended and necessary) with chocolate chip cheesecake baked INTO the middle of the cupcake, and chocolate chip cream cheese frosting on top. The dark chocolate cherry, gluten-free chocolate strawberry, and Elvis (banana cupcake, peanut butter frosting, and candied bacon on top) quickly disappeared in the hands of our group. I picked up a GF chocolate strawberry for my roommate, since she's usually on the lookout for GF goodies. "I cannot even handle how good this is" was her exact reaction- with her mouth full of cupcake. One of the best GF cupcakes she's ever had, according to her.
I thought $3 per cupcake was a bit expensive at first, but once I tasted it, I have no doubts I'll be paying $3 again next time I see the truck around town.
