| - Bouchon Bakery has been an obsession of mine lately. Namely, I'm obsessed with their cupcakes (and I am not a fan of the trendy cupcake movement).
My latest visit came after a one-month, self-imposed sugar ban. And, because I love these trendy little cakes so much, I chose to break my fast on a Bouchon chocolate cupcake!
The basis for my obsession is that the frosting will not put you into a diabetic coma. The sweetness is doable. Further, the chocolate frosting tastes more like a mousse, less like a birthday cake. If I wanted a cupcake that tastes like birthday cake, I'll make it myself (and you do not want to see me bake...scary).
And, at $3.50, these are a pretty good deal -- smaller, less delicious cupcakes in Las Vegas can be had for $2.50. The selection, however, is limited--I've only ever seen chocolate and red velvet. Both are good.
Bouchon Bakery is a great way to experience Thomas Keller without dropping a few hundred at his restaurant upstairs. I do wish they'd serve up some tables though! What is up with that!?! Come on!
