I recently trekked up to Frosting Cupcakery on the day of their official "grand opening" on June 5th. As you might recall I didn't have a great experience with their cupcakes from my first visit, but since I had some stuff to do nearby, I figured I'd give them another try. It also helped that part of their grand opening was a "Buy one get one free" special, haha.
'nilla 'nilla + Choc-a-lot
I picked up two of their classic flavors: 'nilla 'nilla (vanilla bottom with a vanilla buttercream top) and Choc-a-lot (chocolate bottom with a chocolate fudge top). The 'nilla 'nilla frosting is really really good. It's that sorta custardy vanilla flavor that I personally enjoy, reminds me of a vanilla Jell-o pudding pop (RIP), super delicious. The cake was good too, a simple vanilla cake, but honestly- the frosting was the highlight for me. I really think it's because it reminded me of a Jell-o pudding pop, and I still can't get over the fact that they don't make those anymore............tear.
I can't really speak to the Choc-a-lot cupcake, because I didn't eat it, haha. I gave it to M so maybe she can shed some light on that cupcake in the comments section :o) I will say though that the cupcake looked rich and choco-tastic; however the snow flake fondant topping sort of threw me off... it's June..........?? Haha. If I'm in the area again (which I will be, there's a fab BCBGMaxAzria AND Whole Foods across the street), I will try out another one of their flavors, preferably with the same pudding pop frosting :o)
Haha! I didn't even think about the snowflake until you mentioned it. The vanilla icing sounds really good.
ReplyDelete@Ilana: Haha, yeah, was a little confused by that.
ReplyDeleteHey there you guys - thanks for the blog, we're really glad you liked our 'nilla - so nice we named it twice:) Just a little inside scoop - our signature snowflake lands on our cupcakes because of our name *Frost*ing (and because my wife's family's last name - and part owners - is "Snow"). Take care and try to stay cool - up to 100deg today! Whoa.

PS - come on in and ask for me and I'll give you another Choc-a-lot on the house since you didn't get one of your own!
ReplyDelete@Todd: Thank you for reading/commenting! The "snowflake" makes sense now- I guess I didn't look closely enough at any of the other cupcakes to see that some others would have it too, haha. And thank you for offering me another Choc-a-lot, I look forward to trying more of your cupcakes soon!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the 'nilla 'nilla, too! You're so right that it tastes like Jello pudding - in the good way. Yay to more cupcakes! xoxo
ReplyDelete@citygirlblogs: Glad you liked it too!
