| - My boyfriend and I stopped in on the way to see a movie (he had already inhaled a DQ ice cream, but I'm lactose intolerant, so I was still hunting for something sweet as we walked around the outdoor mall). Cupcakes aren't exactly my top choice, but as I am a cake decorator, I do enjoy trying out other baker's wares.
We ordered a smores cupcake to split because these things are massive! For $3.75, it's really not a bad price, especially since Sprinkles costs about the same and the cupcake is half the size. The cake was very chocolaty and moist, so score one for Caketini, however, I was honestly disappointed at the missing ingredient in my smores cupcake. They baked a graham cracker crust onto the bottom of the chocolate cupcake, so we've got the grahams and the chocolate, but where were the marshmallows? Oh, wait, there were 3 or 4 miniature ones on top of the cupcake. Um...in case no one here has had a smore in a while, the marshmallow is a major component and needs to be given ample representation! With a cupcake this big, you have a perfect opportunity to fill it with homemade marshmallow filling, or Fluff if you just don't want to waste time making it yourself. The end result was basically a chocolate cupcake with graham cracker crumbs in it. It actually made it hard to get through the whole cupcake because both my boyfriend and I lost interested before we had finished it.
Hopefully someone that works there reads this and realizes they are missing a great opportunity to fix a boring cupcake.
I might be back to try another flavor, but honestly, I wouldn't make a special trip.
