Guest Cupcaker in the House!

This week, with Amanda being on vacation, we had to fill her slot with a Guest Cupcaker! We hope you enjoy this review from the Natural Born Critic, Louis.

Adorable and delightful in presentation, the Strawberry Delight cupcake had a more realistic strawberry flavor than I had anticipated. Hints of tartness are very apparent. An almost unwieldy amount of frosting made consumption a strenuous affair. The decorative strawberry jam dollop at the crown was ineffective, overpowered by the frosting itself. The cake itself is moist and the wrapper separated nicely. Overall, as strawberry-themed cakes go, this cupcake did not disappoint. I’d like to see the Cupcake Station roll out a few more “exotic” fruit based cakes (lemon, boysenberry, etc.) to compliment this rather tired mainstay. They’ve got the recipe and presentation of this church-picnic classic under control, perhaps now is the time to try for something less pedestrian.
