A Cupcake a Day!

Keeps the doctor in business! ;)

Remember this day when I said the cupcakes in Old Town just didn't look up to my standards? When I'm wrong, I'll admit it. :) MOST times

I was getting the shakes after running an errand in Old Town this afternoon (my classic 'bout to crash symptom), and asked the owner of the shop I was in where she recommended I catch a late afternoon snack. She suggested Bittersweet (the cafe I walked 8 blocks for previously), and since I was super hungry and my parking limit was about to expire I walked in next door to check out what they had to eat besides cupcakes. And despite the ridiculously high cost of a mini cupcake... I figured when in Rome one must do as the Romans do, right?!  So I enjoyed my sandwich and cupcake in the warm indoors while people watching!

Back to the important part: my review of the cupcake!!

In the words of Top Chef Masters, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. The moist chocolate cupcake left some pizazz to be desired, but the chocolate mousse icing was so light and fluffy that it would dress up almost any cake. The one thing I didn't care for was the choice of size. They only have the super large, bigger than a slice of cake cupcake, and the miniature pill-cup size. The pill cup size left you wanting more, but I can only imagine the regular size made you want to vom by the last bite. Did I mention the mini cup was just under $2? Ridic!

But a pretty good afternoon snack paired with a cup of coffee for the walk back to the car where I saw a cute just married couple getting their post-photos taken. A good afternoon!
