Starting with Crave, I decided to try their apple cupcake recently. It's a Granny Smith apple cake with cinnamon frosting. Simple ingredients; simple, sweet flavor. This was better than I anticipated.
Next cupcake test came courtesy of Dessert Gallery. Without a detailed description of ingredients, the triple chocolate cupcake is just that...triple the chocolate. It was a chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting, topped with a chocolate cookie and drizzled with chocolate sauce. The chocolate combination was a good balance and was a tasty cupcake, although not the best I've had.
Onto our next adventure by way of Sprinkles...There was a limited edition cupcake recently featured in connection with the television show, "2 Broke Girls." It sounded delicious, so I had to try it since it was only being offered for a few weeks. It was a graham cracker-lined vanilla chocolate chip cake with dark chocolate frosting and fleur de sel. I really loved the flavors in this cupcake. I wish it was a little more moist though. I think a little bit of salt on almost any cupcake really brings out the flavor.
And the last victims of my devouring were from Ooh La La Sweets. First, I had Pretty in Pink, which was strawberry cake with cream cheese icing, topped with pink sprinkles. As always, Ooh La La's cupcakes are massive! This cupcake had a light strawberry taste and was balanced well with the frosting. And, it was moist!
The second cupcake was their November special, French toast. It was a maple cupcake with a swirl of cinnamon streusel, topped with cinnamon sugar cream cheese icing. The maple flavor of the cupcake was very prominent. I'm not sure what the little bread pieces were on top. They kind of tasted sweet and sort of like bread; I don't know. Anyway, this was a fairly decent cupcake.
That's all for now folks! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
