Cupcakes are these feel-good, I deserve a treat sort of things, all bundled up into a butterized, flourized, and sugarized compact. In NYC, Magnolias was considered splurging as cupcakes there are around $2.50. But at The Cupcake Bakery, they were $3.50 and significantly smaller. At least they come in more flavors than Magnolias.
I’ve had my eye on this place for awhile. Each time whenever I walked down on George St. from the Rocks to Paddy’s Market, I’d see this place, but it’d either be after 5pm (when it’s closed) or when I’ve already had a full meal. Plus, I didn’t think it’d be appropriate for me to indulge without Jenny.
We finally came here after our beach trip to Manly. Tired, hungry, and craving sugar, we went for their cupcake + ice cream combo, which is $4.50. I mean, the cupcakes were $3.50 each, so why not spend the extra $1? It elevates the cupcake experience to a whole new level.
I was really tempted to get the mint cupcake, but Kirstie raved about their sticky date cupcake so obviously, I had to get that. After they popped it into the microvave and scooped out some ice cream, I began my decent into the word of feel-goodness. I like how the frosting was just enough and not too sweet. It went so well with the ice cream, except that the ice cream tasted really weird because it was all gritty. But nevertheless, i was still good. I’d get the sticky date again, that is, after when I’ve tried out the rest of the flavors.
They do have a website, displaying all of their flavors.
