Few and Far Between

Sorry again for the long hiatus. There hasn't been much cupcake activity lately. I might be starting to run out of new flavors. Anyway, here's the latest and greatest...

Starting with Gigi's Cupcakes, I tried the Super Mellow Cream, which is Devil's food cake filled with mellow cream, topped with a swirl of marshmallow buttercream, dipped in ganache and topped with a buttercream curly Q. It was quite tasty and not too chocolate-y.


Next was Gigi's White Hot Chocolate. There isn't an ingredient description on their website, so I'm improvising here. It's a yellow/vanilla cake topped with hot cocoa buttercream frosting and white nonpariels. This cupcake was just OK. The frosting was a bit different, I suppose because it wasn't your everyday milk chocolate.

Then, there was Ooh La La Dessert Boutique. First up was their flavor of the month; Dulce de Leche. It's yellow butter cake filled with dulce de leche, topped with dulce de leche buttercream and white chocolate shavings. Yum! Loved the dulce de leche filling inside. It made it all the sweeter!


Finally, from Ooh La La, Birthday Cake to celebrate my birthday. It's vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream frosting, confetti sprinkles and candy. This was a pretty standard vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting; nothing special.


Until we sweet again...
