Cupcakes in Banff



Our first cupcake tasting: We selected vanilla, lemon, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate caramel, chocolate raspberry and carrot.

Vanilla
Mom: hmmmm hmmmm good. this is so good. Very vanilla-y. Subtle vanilla flavor in the frosting.
Mary: bit of lemon or something in the flavoring, moist but kind of like a sponge cake. Frosting is quite sweet but doesn't have much flavor
Asha: yummy, very good vanilla taste, better than Daddy's favorite cake.

Lemon
Mom: wish there was more lemony stuff in it. The filling was very intense
Mary: cake same as in vanilla, but had a bit of lemon filling, kind clear like lemon curd. Didn't taste any lemon in the cake. frosting was light and mildly lemony. The lemoncurd was quite intense.
Asha: Very good, intense flavor, good frosting, yummy cake, same as the vanilla, but with lemony filling.

Carrot
Mom: could be a little more moist. it's a little dense
Mary: moist but seemed to lack salt or some underlying emphasis, some light spice, but the frosting had light cream cheese and too much sugar in it, almost crispy sugar
Asha: Not my kind of cupcake. There were chunky things in it, like apricots. Tasted ok though.

Stay tuned for more cupcake reviews--we have to take a sugar break.
