| - Oooh! This place is my cup of cake, hands down. And I've tried a lot of cupcakes. Last week I had to bash a fellow indian's business, but this week I get to promote one.
I know cupcakes are a splurge, but these ones are really worth your $2.75 and here's why:
- They are sized just right, not too large or too big, leaving your sweet tooth satisfied and your stomach still stable.
- The frosting is fantastic, you can eat it alone and it isn't sickly sweet, and it's not piled on so high that it topples once you take a bite. No overkill here, just a well balanced amount of buttercream.
- The cake is moist yet fluffy and light, not overly dense, certainly not dry.
- The flavors rock and there's a lot of variety! The Savannah (classic red velvet) is splendid, the Duracelle (carrot walnut) is delish, the Betsy comes adorned with bits of dark chocolate, and hi, they have nutella filled cupcakes! Nut kidding! Their dark chocolate cakes pass my high standards, and I really can walk away from this place feeling great.
Now I need to go back for their thirsty thursday specials, yes, it's what you think, liquor laced cupcakes. What a fantastic idea.
Blushing has really perfected the art of making a cupcake and it's a great mood booster to have a well-made cupcake. What's more, the art shines through in their beautiful custom-made decorations too, which is why I'm using them for an engagement party we are having. Little delectable pieces of edible art, I love it.
The staff is friendly, you can tell the owner takes pride in her cakes, and they have a little kiosk in the South Park mall too.
So, skip SAS's sad cupcakes and try Blushing instead. You won't regret it.
