I'm normally not big on cupcakes. The stuff I've tried, regardless of whether it's from a grocery store or some other bakery, has never convinced me to ever bait out cash for a cupcake. The frosting is too hard and tastes too processed, and the cake is dry and lacking in flavour.
However, the cupcakes here - they're good!
Cake is nice and moist. Icing is loaded with flavour. It doesn't taste cheap like a flavour developed for kids with a sweet tooth.
I was introduced to chocolate with peppermint by a colleague. I didn't think I'd like peppermint, so I was very surprised that this cupcake made me crave for some more.
I've since tried chocolate with vanilla and buttermilk with vanilla/coconut sprinkles. All were good.
I'd give this a higher rating, but it gets downgraded because this makes me feel guilty when I eat it. Though it doesn't taste as cheap as the other cupcakes I've had, it still feels fattening when I eat it (particularly the icing on the regular sized cupcakes). I didn't have a gym membership at the time, so what was supposed to be a $4 cupcake splurge turned into a $404 one after I signed up for a corporate gym membership. I haven't gone to the gym yet, so that membership feels like a splurge too.
