I spent my birthday at the M Resort pool, and on the way out we passed by Baby Cakes. I decided that my birthday cake would be a cupcake, and we stepped up to the counter to ogle the treats within. We had our noses pressed to the glass looking at the delectable cupcakes. I'm usually one for simplicity, but the layered and decorated cupcakes looked mighty fine anyway.
I had a hard time choosing just one (out of the dozen or so available that day). I ended up with Banana and DC ended up with Peanut Butter Chocolate. These were wrapped up in a box as large and ornate as the cupcakes, and we were on our way.
When we finally dug into the cupcakes I was a little disappointed. The frosting was a little crunchy, although this may have been due to our refrigeration of the cakes. Crunchiness aside, the frosting on both cakes was amazing. Buried inside the mound of frosting was a spoonful of mashed bananas (on my cupcake). This was a great treat that added the right burst of real banana flavor and texture.
DCs frosting was equally as awesome. It was a creamy smooth peanut butter flavor that went well with the dark chocolate cake. Unfortunately, the cake was a little dry for both of us. Again, this may be our refrigerator's fault.
We both commented that we would try Baby Cakes again, if only for the frosting. Perhaps eating the cupcakes on the premises would yield a better experience. I'm certainly willing to try. Again, if only for the frosting.
