| - So the cupcake thing hasn't quite run its course yet. I'm fine with that. Where else you gonna get your cake fix without having to whip up an entire Betty Crocker? I'm also fine with being a guy that like cupcakes. There's nothing better than some butter cream in the beard.
Tiny little boutique bake shop in Tremont. It's cute, girlie and Pepto Bismol pink. Looks like they're also into the wedding cake thing judging from the looks of the place. Cookies on the shelves, too. They've got a nice selection of cupcakes from which to choose and they're all labeled - a simple but very appreciated act. I get so annoyed when bakeries and donuts shops don't label their products (hint hint Jack Frost!). Anyway, they've got the usual suspects including German chocolate, red velvet, strawberry, and vanilla. Some stand-outs include carrot, grasshopper (mint chocolate) and Signature (Cookie Monster face with a little cookie in his mouth).
We went with the German chocolate and peanut butter lovers. Moist cake, buttery smooth frosting and, at $2.50 each, priced right. I do like the "down the middle" application of the frosting that seems to be the trend right now. I've seen far too many cupcakeries miss the frosting:cake ratio. C&C gets it right. I still think that Campbell's in Ohio City has better cupcakes. Maybe it's because they're just a little bigger. Then again, Campbell's doesn't put frosting in the middle. I don't know. I'm torn. Anyway, still a solid offering when you want a little sweet something and you're meandering around Tremont. Also good when you don't want to pay $8 for dessert at one of the local eateries.
