| - Stumbled across this truck at the Rural Hill Food Truck Rally and decided it was the place to grab some dessert for the next two nights. The cupcakes are all baked ahead of time and stored in plastic cup containers, so grabbing a sweet treat on the run is super fast. The owner was very nice and was patient with me as I tried to talk to him and the miss' over the phone, trying to decide between all the great-sounding cupcakes. In the end we chose the banana pudding and Vermont Jemima, and both proved to be great choices, at at $3 a pop it was definitely money well spent.
The banana pudding cupcake was a banana cupcake with banana pudding filling, vanilla butter cream and a Nilla Wafer on top. The cupcake itself was perfect, with just the right banana flavor and was super moist, not dry. The butter cream was likewise perfect as it wasn't a choking sweet, but very light and mild. The banana pudding was delicious and super bananay. It was a simply yet awesome cupcake and definitely one of the best I've ever had.
As much as I'm shocked to say this, I think I liked the Vermont Jemima even more. While I felt it was missing a filling, the cake was still moist and tasty. I really enjoyed the maple flavored butter cream, and like the vanilla one it wasn't too sweet. The top of it was garnished with two chunks of candied bacon, and this proved to be the best part. The bacon was crisp from being candied but it was still chewy, making it the best of both worlds. When tasting the cake, icing and bacon all in one bite I experienced cupcake nirvana, and I want to go back!
Cupcake Delirium is the real deal. There are tons of "speciality" cupcake shops out there in this day and age, but many of them just don't deliver the full package. Cupcake Delirium's treats have a moist cake, an icing that isn't too sweet, innovative flavors and a great price. All these factors make Cupcake Delirium a must visit whenever it's in your area, or if you are craving a sweet dessert.
