I'm very rarely a fan of bakeries. Things always look a million times more beautiful when they taste. Cupcakes are among the worst offenders, with more attention being paid to the frosting and the elaborate decorations than to the quality of the cupcake itself.
I have to admit that this place left me feeling pleasantly surprised. We stopped in for a quick treat after having lunch down the street at Piccolo Forno. I was craving chocolate and their Ho Ho Cupcake caught my eye. Priced at $2.50, it was an easy risk to take.
I tried the frosting first as the cupcake was weighted down under gads of the stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. The rich chocolate frosting was like a mix of fudge and butter cream. It wasn't too sweet, and was just chocolatey enough to leave me feeling pretty happy. The chocolate cupcake itself WAS a bit on the dry side...but it would almost have to be to hold up the weight of that frosting. The creme filling was a happy bonus.
All in all, I'd go here again.
