| - The location is tucked away in the first Canadian place food court across from Davids Tea. I came at 5, about an hour before they close, looking forward to trying one of their weekly feature flavors. I usually avoid making stops during the evening rush hour because I'm headed for the train but with a few extra minutes and fingers crossed for a short line, off I went.
There was only one other person in front of me and even at that I was served right away. I asked if they still had either of their feature flavors and was told unfortunately not. Note to self, go on lunch break if the feature flavor looks amazing, as it did (Pina Colada and Black Forest). The girls behind the counter were very nice and rather efficient. The entire stop took no longer than 5 minutes if only because I was paying with debit and had to wait for the machine to do its thing!
I got two cupcakes, one double chocolate and one vanilla with vanilla icing and coconut shavings on top. They put them into a very cute little box with a plastic window on the side so you could see in, popped them into a bag (tied it nicely so that it would stay put) and off I went!
When we sat down to mow down on our cupcakes later, we realized just how BIG they actually were! I had a hard time finishing mine but they were really good! I got to try both, the chocolate chocolate is definitely for the chocoholic - it was probably too much chocolate for someone like me but my boyfriend scarfed most of it down. Rich chocolate icing and super moist cupcake. Mine was much the same except without the richness of chocolate overload. Fluffy icing, super moist cupcakes and nice toasted coconut on top.
My boyfriend did comment that he felt there was too much icing and as with many cupcake chains, this is usually the case. The vanilla one wasn't too bad but I could have done with a bit less icing. I still ate it though... every bite!!
For the reasonable price of about 6.50 for two gourmet cupcakes that were very delicious, I would definitely come back to Prarie Girl, but probably to try some of their more unique flavors. They only carry a handful of regular flavors and not much stood out to me as unique there. If you're not a baker and want to bring something to a party, this would be a fantastic idea. They look nice, people appreciate receiving them and they taste great too. I'll be back next time I have a sugar craving!
