You Say It's Your Birthday...

Credit goes to the Beatles for the title of this entry! The reason for the title is that there were two birthday-related cupcake scenarios that occurred over the last few weeks.

Beginning with Crave's newest flavor, Old Fashioned Birthday Cake, is available everyday. It's soft, yellow cupcake with buttery sweet milk chocolate frosting and topped with colorful sprinkles. Definitely a gourmet twist on an old-school cupcake and pretty good too. Although the birthday cake cupcake was slightly different, it was somewhat similar to Crave's Chocolate on Vanilla cupcake.

Next was a birthday lunch for a coworker. Since I never had it, I decided to try Crave's Coconut cupcake. It was vanilla cupcake with coconut cream cheese frosting. It was good; not my favorite though. I've had their Chocolate Coconut cupcake before, which was better than I expected and probably a bit better than the standard Coconut.

And finally, we tried Pillsbury's version of Pumpkin cake mix. It called for eggs, water and oil.

It tasted pretty nice for the price. I believe the pumpkin mix I tried last year from Williams-Sonoma was better, but what do you expect for $1?
