When
you bite into a cupcake you instantly feel happy. The mixture of moist cake and
sweet frosting, nothing compares to it. Even when you just have a slice of cake
you feel the same way. Cake is only better in that there is more of it to eat.
I have had plenty of practice with eating both cupcakes and cake. All over Colonie
cupcake shops have been popping up and becoming popular. Fluffalicious, Sweet Temptations
and Coocadots. Each cupcake shop has different products and tastes. In this
article I’m going to dissect the taste of each cupcake and tell you where the best
cupcake is in Colonie. Get ready for a sweet ride.
First
up is Fluffalicious. The two cupcakes I ate were “Hot Fudge Sundae” and,
“Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.”
Hot Fudge Sundae - The fudge
inside the cupcake was my favorite part. It gave the great combination of
a vanilla cake with the fudge. Just like a true sundae. The use of the
butter cream sundae on top though took away from the overall experience I
feel. I feel that if there was less frosting then the combination would be
better.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
– Great cupcake. The chocolate cake was most definitely the best part.
Nice and rich and moist. The filling of peanut butter icing tasted great
also with the cake. Perfect combination. I felt though that the chocolate
frosting was too prominent over the peanut butter. I would have liked more
peanut butter than chocolate.
Overall these two cupcakes were fantastic.
A little bit too much of frosting for me but the filling and cake itself were
great.
Next
is Sweet Temptations. The two cupcakes from there were “Oreo” and “Chocolate
Raspberry.”
Oreo – Great combination of
frosting and cake. Also the presentation was beautiful. Looked really cute
with a dipped Oreo on top. Although the cupcake tasted delicious I didn’t
really get the taste of Oreo. The chocolate cake was really great though.
Chocolate Raspberry – Great
presentation again. Also another great combination of moist chocolate cake
and rich raspberry frosting. My favorite part was the actual raspberry
filling on the inside. It’s a nice surprise to bite into a cupcake and get
the real fruit taste.
I was very pleased with both of
these cupcakes. The presentation was breath taking on both and the combination
of cake and frosting was great.
Lastly
is Coccadots. The two cupcakes elected from there were “Cake Batter” and
“Peanut Butter Cup.”
Cake Batter – The cake
itself was awesome. Moist, delicious great flavor. I was not a big fan of
the whipped topping though. Others told me that they enjoyed the
combination of the cake and whipped frosting. Just shows the different
opinions of everyone. I did not like the fondant star on the front though.
Not a big fan of the flavor of the fondant. It was a great presentation though
and looked very cute.
Peanut Butter Cup –
Definitely the best cupcake I ate all night. It had just enough peanut
butter to go with the chocolate cake. Even though it didn’t have a filling
which I would have enjoyed even more it was still a superb cupcake.
Both the cupcakes excited my
taste buds and were presented great. Most likely my two favorite cupcakes of
the night.
All
the cupcakes were delicious. There was never a single bite of cupcake that I
did not enjoy. My personal favorite was Coocadots but if you want a mouth
watering cupcake any of the shops will suffice. I hope this look into these
sweet treats was helpful!
