So, the weather is getting nicer and summer is getting closer and the tourists are slowly coming back to the Cape, which means I had a busier than normal week at the toy store...Yay! Alot of local Cape Codders complain about the tourists in the summer, but being a someone who works in a small business, I am THRILLED to see the people coming back after a long and quiet winter. This Saturday's cupcake of the day was one I had tried before-Berry Champagne-so I decided to go with one of the flavors that is always available at Cupcake Charlie's: Hostess with the Mostess. It obviously gets its name from the visual similarity to the Hostess chocolate iced cupcake that I grew up with, but the comparison kind of ends there. First of all, the Hostess cupcakes of my youth, if I can remember back that far, had a solid icing layer on top,which was easily peeled off and eaten whole before diving into the actual cupcake. The chocolate icing on the Mostess version was a richer chocolate icing which I didn't try to peel off because I could tell it would fight me on that! The best part of this cupcake was the actual filling, which was a fluffy light creme. I was a little disappointed in the actual cupcake which was "crumby" and fell apart easily because it was kind of dry. It was actually the first time that I have gotten a cupcake like that from Cupcake Charlie's and I was surprised. It was even hard to peel off the cupcake liner...not good. It tasted alright, a little dry. Luckily the creme helped moisten it up.
I am glad that I tried it, but I won't be getting it again. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but it definitely didn't seem as fresh and moist as some of the other flavors I have tried.
Next week is our one year anniversary party and Memorial Day weekend combined at the toy store. I am hoping we are so busy I don't have time to have my cupcake at work....but I will definitely treat myself for one AFTER everyone has gone! Have a sweet week!
