I know I reviewed polka dot before but I had to write a quick update on a couple flavors I had over the past 2 weeks.
I don't necessarily give polka dot as a whole 5 stars but I definitely give these two flavor combinations 5 stars. PD overall is solid, consistent and yummy. I'll always be a fan. But, onto the goods...
So the first cupcake that receives a noteable mention is the Chocolate Covered Strawberry flavor. Oh my goodness!!! Let's see...how can I put this without being dramatic? Hmmm...Ok, let's put it this way... if I was crossing the street and accidentally dropped this cupcake into oncoming traffic and my option was to save the cupcake or potentially get hit,...It would be worth the risk. I would save the cupcake.
It was chocolate (moist, perfectly flavored chocolate), with a strawberry buttercream (pretty sweet but not over the top), with a strawberry coulis center (not jam or jelly) and a dollop of ganache on the top. It just WORKED. That's all I can say. I've had that same flavor at other cupcakeries and they didn't hold a candle to this one! It is done so well! I wish it was on their regular menu but it isn't so you may have to call and request it!! :)
The next one that is worth mentioning I had last Saturday and it was DIVINE!!!
Flutter Nutter is the name and scrumditliumptious is the GAME!!!
A chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter center and a marshmallow buttercream center with peanut butter drizzle on top. Heaven in cake. I wasn't sure how the marshmallow buttercream would work out but it was incredible. It gave the perfect sweet complete to this cupcake. The consistency was perfect..not too dense and not too airy/fluffy. Very satisfying. It was rich but if you know what to expect going in then you will enjoy every bite! I could have used a bit more of the peanut butter center but I'll get over it. Once again, not on their regular menu so you have to request this delightful cupcake.
***It is worth emailing or calling to make requests because they do care about their customers!!!
