I went to Miss Cora's for her cupcakes. I read somewhere on the inter webs that their cupcakes were delicious and one of the best in Toronto.
So I took on this mission, trekked over and asked for half a dozen cupcakes. To my disappointment, they were sitting in a refrigerator when I entered the shop. I was hesitant to complete my mission after seeing them, all huddled up close, waiting, and dying in the fridge. I tried them anyways. Two red velvet, two chocolate and two vanilla. They were around 3 dollars each.
To my further disappointment, the icing was crusted and hard when I took my first bite. The red velvet didn't taste like what a red velvet should taste like. The cupcakes themselves were mediocre at best. Not moist but crumbly and semi-dry. I think it was the fridge.
Perhaps cupcakes are one of few things that Cora's fails at but they offer it openly and served it out of a fridge.
Say what you will, they probably do taste good when you luck out and arrive with fresh cupcakes. The odds of that are slim.
Overall, I didn't like Cora's after that failed mission. Tainted by hard icing, my dreams will now always be haunted.
