I got a couple of cupcakes from the Cupcakery and I'll be going back to try more.
There are a couple of these around town and for the longest time I've wanted to try one out. Honestly, specialty cupcakes are a little intimidating to me. I'm used to the homemade ones people make to celebrate a birthday, not some work of art.
This Cupcakery is a little hole in the wall place along Eastern's stretch of strip mall hell near Silverado Ranch. Despite the cramped quarters, it's enough room for the cupcakes. I went last night and they had roughly a dozen varieties. Some are chocolatey sweet like the "El Rolo" which is a chocolate cupcake with a caramel filling topped with chocolate ganache. Yum! I also tried the "Southern Belle" which is red velvet cake topped with an amazing cream cheese frosting.
As you might expect, the cupcakes are pricey at $3 each. Next time I want to try something with lemon.
