Post Cupcake Pebbles- YUM!

For those of you that dream about cupcakes, good news... Now you can wake up and eat the cereal version! HOORAY! Post has come out with Cupcake Pebbles. They taste just like a vanilla cupcake. The little pebbles even have sprinkles on them! They are pretty tasty if I do say so myself. An excellent and yummy way to start your day! Go to your local grocery store and pick up a box. Go! 

Delish; Austin

 Here in Austin a lot of the cupcake joints are closed on Monday's. Why? Who knows, but it drives me a little crazy sometimes. So to get my cupcake "fix" we ran into Delish. It is a stylish, modern cupcakery that you can find in downtown Austin.

 They are located at 209 West 3rd Street or on-line at

http://www.delish-cupcakes.com/.

And if you think parking might be a problem, they offer a curbside pick-up! Hooray! Just call in your order then call again when you are close and they will run your cupcakes out to you! How is that for service?! 

(Just in case you need the # it's 512.473.4118.)

These are the cupcakes we tried:

Red Velvet: Really good cupcake. You could actually taste the cocoa in the cake. The cream cheese frosting was a perfect match!

Sprinkle Scale: 3 out of 5 

Chocolate: On this cupcake the frosting takes & makes the cake. The cake itself was good, just a little dry. But when you pair it with the rich chocolate buttercream frosting, DELISH!

Sprinkle Scale: 3 out of 5 (cake 2.5 & frosting 4.5)

Banana Chocolate: This one is my favorite! It is such a unique combination. The light banana cake and the chocolate buttercream frosting go SO well together. I could eat one of these everyday!

Sprinkle Scale: 4.5 out of 5

Peanut Butter: If you are a p.b. fan, you will LOVE this cupcake!! I am not all that into peanut butter and I still thought this was a really good cupcake. It really tastes like you are biting into a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Once again, they have come up with a great cake/frosting combination! The sad part, it is a 'special' cupcake they only make on Monday's. (Boo!) But on the other hand,

 it makes Monday's a day you can look forward to! (YAY!)

Sprinkle Scale: 4.5 out of 5

All of these cupcakes were also really 'good looking' cupcakes. They are almost, do I dare say, fancy. Some even have a little glitter on them. And let's face it, you know your day is getting better when you get to eat something with glitter on it!!

The Flying Cupcake; Indianapolis

I was in Indianapolis this weekend for my sister-in-law's Baby Shower. So, of course I had to stop by what is named to be Indianapolis's BEST cupcakery, The Flying Cupcake. (As voted by the Indianapolis Star 2009) I went to the bakery located in downtown Indianapolis at 715 Massachusetts Ave. But you can find them at www.theflyingcupcakebakery.com  

Right off I have to tell you how CUTE this place is! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. It is such a fun place to sit and have a cupcake! Everything from the paint to the table and chairs is SO fun. You will love it! Their menu has a long list of orginal cupcakes flavors that is sure please. We tryed four; 2 that were great, 1 good, and 1 BAD!

 They are judged on my 'Sprinke' Scale 1-5, 5 being the best cupcake ever!

Here is the story on the cupcakes...

Red Velvet Elvis: This was a good cupcake. It was very messy & crumbly because of the chocolate chips. That's right, I said chocolate chips. Now, if you are a Red Velvet fan like me, you might not be too crazy about this cupcake. It is NOT like a traditional Red Velvet, at all!(hint, hint, chocolate chips?!) The description says: "soft cream cheese icing and white chocolate". I could not taste ANY cream cheese in the frosting, it just tasted like a simple vanilla. However take the Red Velvet out of the name and it was a good cupcake on it's own. So it gets 1 out of 5 'Sprinkles' for Red Velvet and 3 out of 5 'Sprinkles' for being a yummy cupcake.

Pretty in Pink: This Strawberry cupcake was wonderful!! The cake was moist and had bits of strawberries in it. The frosting "a delicious strawberry cream cheese" was in fact, delicious. It was incredibly creamy with the perfect amount of strawberry. This was one of my favorite cupcakes (along with the Cinnamon Sugar, but we will get to that in a second). So on the 'Sprinkle' Scale it gets a 4 out of 5 for the cake but the frosting gets a 5 out of 5!!! 

Cinnamon Sugar: If you are a cinnamon lover rush out right now and get one of these cupcakes! They were awesome! It was such a unique yummy cupcake. If I got to eat cupcakes every morning for breakfast this is the one I would pick. The cake was a little crumbly, but it just reminded us of a crumb cake, so it was no big deal. The cinnamon buttercream frosting was the perfect match for the cake. It had just the right amount of cinnamon to it. (Too much cinnamon would have ruined it!) On the 'Sprinkle' Scale I reserve the 5 for the best cupcakes in the country. This one and Pretty in Pink were really close, but on the 'Sprinkle' Scale it gets a very high 4 out of 5.

Happy Birthday to Me (Chocolate): Stop right there and put that cupcake down! This one sucks!! I seriously hope that we got a bad batch of these chocolate cupcakes and they don't taste this bad all the time. (You never know, someone might have messed something up in the kitchen. Wishful thinking!!) While I will say they looked pretty, it made no difference after the first bite. The cake was incredibly dry!! Almost like it was a couple days old. The buttercream frosting (if that's what you can call it) was hard and crunchy. Truly a BAD CUPCAKE! I would not even think to buy this cupcake again! So it gets a 1 out of 5 on the 'Sprinkle' Scale. If I could give it a 0 I would.

So that is the story of The Flying Cupcake in Indianapolis, Indiana. If you are in nap-town be sure to stop in and try one. Let us know what flavor you tryed and if you liked it.

 A special "Thanks" to Mom & Jeannie for their help in this Review. (They LOVED it! LOL!)
