| - I had been craving cupcakes so I decided to check out this bakery, which is not far from my parents house. I went in and bought a cupcake and a ecclair.
Cupcake -
You often here people say that a cupcake is just a "cross dressing muffin", or some sort of similar ass-hattery. A cupcake uses cake batter, and is a small cake, hence CUP CAKE. A muffin uses muffin batter, A muffin uses quickbread batter (has no yeast ). A muffin can have frosting, this was not a cupcake, it was a muffin with frosting. Given that fact, it was still pretty decent. The icing was good, not too sugary, pretty good consistency, nice creaminess, the "cupcake" wasn't too rich.
Ecclair
I like ecclairs, the biggest problem I see with them is either the chocolat is crappy, or the filling is not good. This one had good chocolat, and good filling. The consistency was good.
Admittedly it is a little confusing when you walk into what used to be the coffee place, and see coffee and have to go into a back room for baked goods. However, the people are nice enough, though a little odd. It's sort of different from what you normally get in bakeries, they are the usual hipster college/high school types, and the people you see they aren't the overtly middle class type. Welcome to Scarborough, you aren't on Church anymore Toto.
For what it is, and where it is located, the bakery is pretty good. I would go back for more.
