This blog title is the motto on Ooh La La Dessert Boutique's cupcake boxes. After subscribing to be on Ooh La La's email list the last time we visited, they sent me a free cupcake, so we took advantage of it last weekend. Of course there wasn't just one cupcake consumed. They only offer mini or jumbo sized cupcakes, so I had one of each.
My first cupcake was Cookies and Cream, which is vanilla cake with Oreo cookie crumbs folded in, topped with vanilla buttercream and finely crushed Oreos. I debated on trying this cupcake versus the cupcake of the month, which is "Dirt." The Dirt cupcake is sort of similar to cookies and cream, so the deciding factor was the Oreos on top versus gummy worms. Anyway, it was very yummy. The blend of vanilla and Oreo was perfect, as was the consistency of both the cake and frosting.
My second cupcake was the mini Strawberry Amaretto. It's vanilla cake soaked in amaretto with a strawberry center, topped with amaretto buttercream and strawberry sauce. This cupcake was OK. No complaints about consistency; it just wasn't as good as it sounded. I liked the cookies and cream better.
I also had a bite of the hubby's flavors, which were The Ultimate Chocolate Cupcake and Nilla Nilla. Ultimate chocolate is chocolate cake with chocolate chunks folded in with a gooey ganache center, topped with chocolate buttercream and chocolate chips. This was definitely a lot of chocolate; a chocolate lover's dream. I enjoyed it, but this type of cupcake is too much chocolate for me personally. I know...what is wrong with me?
Nilla Nilla is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. This was your typical vanilla cupcake. All around a decent cupcake, but nothing extraordinary.
There are still many things to try at Ooh La La, so we will back again in the future.
