This summer I have taken the initiative to try each of the cupcakes from our local cupcakery. I know this sounds like the most fattening mission ever but I have yet to have one whole cupcake in its entirety. I have always had someone to share with. So here is my list thus far.
Carrot Cake- this one I tried today it was by far my favorite. It was the perfect example of a well made carrot cake in a cupcake wrapper. Not to mention the icing was fabulous!
Chocolate mint- The icing on this was tasty and reminded me of the mints you usually run into at wedding showers. It was a basic chocolate cupcake with the yummy icing. It was topped off with an Andees mint
Wedding cake- I have had this one twice because it was requested by the boys. Just a basic almond flavored white cake with that delicious icing. Can't go wrong.
Chocolate Ganache- a perfect cupcake for a chocolate lover. It is very rich and chocolaty!
Chocolate Peanut Butter- This one made me think of Erika (I think it will be one of her favorites.) A chocolate cupcake with a delicious peanut butter icing topped with a Reece cup. This was Bryce's favorite.
The Elvis- banana cake topped with the above mentioned peanut butter icing. It was like eating banana bread with icing. I thought it was yummy but I'm glad I only had a third of it.
Lemon Crumb- A perfect flavor for summer! Lemon cupcake with a crust on the bottom and instead of icing has lemon filling in it.
Red Velvet- The best part of this for me was the chocolate covered cherry on top. I think I'm just a sucker for my mom's red velvet and this one just wasn't what I expected.
S'mores- This one was pretty yummy. Garett picked it as his favorite so far. A chocolate cupcake with a gram cracker crusted with a yummy marshmallow topping. I think maybe my favorite chocolate cupcake so far.
UPDATE: For Gina's wedding shower we had cupcakes. I was able to try two different flavors:
Key lime coconut- Didn't have much of a lime taste but it was good with the toasted coconut on top.
White chocolate raspberry- Very tasty white cake with a jam jelly sauce in the middle and drizzled on the top.
That is the list so far. I think I have really put away a lot of cupcakes this summer but at least it has only been a part of each one.
(Justin went with me to pick up the cupcakes so he was able to buy his first babycake he picked the lemon and LOVED it!)
I have included the website link if you want to drool over all the flavors (but there is only a few I haven't tried!)
