| - When you think of cupcakes, do the adjectives sinful, sexy, intoxicating, or orgasmic arise? Probably not, but one bite of a cupcake from Sin City Cupcakes could surely make you associate those words with their cupcakes.
Sin City Cupcakes catered a Yelp event I attended last week, and I was looking forward to trying one of these alcohol-infused little cakes, because ALCOHOL and CUPCAKES just sound like a fantastic match.
I tried a cupcake called Cherry Lips, if my memory serves me right (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/GT0K4EdSSxe_LMU6SPr-_A?select=eK4blS5zjkx8ztwZWSiN2g#ojHCkMqdpo7YmzDubJGmDA). At first bite, you can really taste the vodka, which was then followed by the sweetness of the cake itself and its frosting. As you continue eating, the taste of the alcohol begins to intensify with each bite. When you reach the end, you're in a temporary state of drunken pleasure, at least in my case! What I especially liked about the cupcake was that the sweetness wasn't overpowering, and the cake was moist.
Attendees at the event had the option of choosing a cupcake from the stand and devouring it immediately, or taking one to-go. I chose devouring immediately, but I noticed that the to-go cupcakes were contained in beautiful dark boxes and tied with green ribbons. I thought I'd note this because of the extra effort and attention to detail to the packaging was impressive, just like the cupcakes.
It's a shame that Sin City Cupcakes only caters, because I'd be in their shop on a weekly basis sampling each of the cupcakes on their menu. With tantalizing titles like "Russian Climax", "Better than Sex", and "Red Velvet Backseat" (Red Velvet! Is it getting steamy in here?), how could you resist?
