| - I finally stopped into For the Love of Cake. I'd been avoiding this cake and cupcake shop - their cakes/cupcakes just never looked or sounded very good to me, and I hate a disappointing cupcake! Well, it was a Saturday afternoon and a cupcake seemed like just the ticket, so I decided to go ahead and try it. I asked the counter person what she recommended, and she said "vanilla or chocolate base?" Oh lord. *deep sigh* I despise cupcake places that use 2 types of cake and just make different "flavours" with frosting. I asked if they were all the same cake, and she said that lemon and eggnog were the only other unique cupcakes. Great, I'll take one lemon and one eggnog.
On first bite, these cupcakes were dry, mealy, grainy and way more like muffins than cakes. So disappointing. On Sat afternoon, I can't see these being day old? But they tasted day old. On to frosting - The eggnog frosting was rather tasty, but left my mouth feeling coated and icky. The lemon "meringue" frosting was not good. Second bite, and you get into... mushy goo in the middle of the cupcake?? This is the filled cupcake gimmicky thing, and it's GROSS! The goo was cold and congealed in texture. The eggnog goo was just... no. The lemon curd was absolutely THE WORST LEMON CURD EVER. WORST!!! It was all citric bite and no lemon flavour, like it was made of pure chemicals and nothing good to eat.
I should have trusted my instincts and just skipped this cupcake spot. See my cupcake list for my cupcake recommendations!
