I walk by this bakery everyday on my way home and I've been inside a few times for lunch (their salad boxes are good). I usually stand and stare at the cupcake display case before I leave, admiring all the pretty cake tops and imagining the way they'd taste.I finally decided that it was time to try one and made a purchase a few days ago. I chose the berries on lemon, which has red icing and dark red & green specks on top. First of all, I don't really consider this a cupcake because it's baked ri
I finally decided that it was time to try one and made a purchase a few days ago. I chose the berries on lemon, which has red icing and dark red & green specks on top. First of all, I don't really consider this a cupcake because it's baked right into the ceramic bowl (which I got to keep because I ordered mine to go). It's more of a ceramic bowl cake.
The cake itself is so-so. My cake should have been lemon flavoured but it wasn't strong enough and the cake was a bit mushy on the bottom. Eating the icing felt like eating a mouthful of butter. It's rich and sweet but the berries flavour became less apparent as I finished the cupcake. I didn't even finish all the cream/icing.
For $30 a pop it wasn't as good as it could have and should have been. The only consolation is that I got to keep the ceramic bowl, which is easily worth a few bucks.
