the girl with the baked goods

I love cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, sweets and basically all lovely treats born out of an oven that I have decided to bake. This way, I can always have more than one serving...

Sweet Cupcakes

America is definitely the cupcake nation. I still don't understand what the fuss is all about because given the choice between a chocolate cupcake and a chocolate cake, I'll go with the cake, almost 98% of the time. However, I'm starting to suspect it could be because, since the cupcake is smaller, maybe it's okay not to share it or offer a part of it to whomever is sitting opposite you. And so it is like your very own cake, no need to share!

Anyway, in Boston, the best cupcakes I've ever had has gotta be from Sweet. Here's what we had on Saturday afternoon:


Organic Karat: Moist carrot cake with shredded organic carrots and crushed pineapple topped with classic cream cheese frosting and an edible gold leaf petal

Dark Chocolate: Rich chocolate cake baked with Dutch cocoatopped with buttercream frosting in chocolate


The Sweet Cake: Creamy Madagascar vanilla bean cake with buttercream frosting in chocolate
Boston Cream Pie: Sweet chiffon cake filled with homemade pastry cream topped with chocolate ganache and a frosting "cherry"

My favourite is definitely the Boston Cream Pie cupcake! It was sooooo goooood!
