On one of our recent fake runs where we wind up eating more than we actually exercised, M and I headed into Georgetown for a change of pace. It was early enough in the day that the sidewalks along M street were still relatively clear, unlike a weekend afternoon where you literally have to navigate through a million fashionistas to get from one store to another. Before getting lunch at Tackle Box, I suggested we stop in Georgetown Cupcake so we could get a free cupcake. It felt a little weird being able to get a free one in the Georgetown location, since I'd normally never be there on time to get one, haha. The free cupcake that day was a Strawberry Lava Fudge cupcake, which I had not yet had and was excited to try.
Hello, lava! (har har)
The cupcake tasted great, don't get me wrong, but I was a little disappointed in the name vs. what it actually was. You see, Georgetown Cupcake has a Lava Fudge cupcake on their regular menu, which consists of a chocolate cupcake with a fudge core in the middle. Yummmm. So when I saw the free flavor as "Strawberry Lava Fudge", I expected that same gooey fudge core. Turns out this one was their Strawberry cupcake with a fudge flower pattern drawn on top. Not quite a "lava fudge" cupcake, if you ask me. Regardless, of course I still ate it since I enjoy their Strawberry cupcakes- especially the frosting, woo! :o)
The cupcake sounds really good, but def does not seem to live up to the name.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about the core but at least the frosting was yummy! ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, i agree. i was disappointed.
ReplyDeletei wanted chocolate cake with the lava center and strawberry frosting. or one of those things, if not both. :(
@Ilana, @SNC, @nicole: Glad we're all on the same page about the "lava fudge" issue, haha.
ReplyDeleteaccording to the georgetown cupcake website, the strawberry lava fudge is supposed to be a chocolate cupcake with fudge centre with strawberry icing
