Review: Cupcake from Urban Cakes

Yes, after maligning it for cost, I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is. I swung by today and picked up a cupcake ($3.00) to eat and review.

The cupcake was pear-lime on vanilla buttercream icing, on a chocolate cupcake. The cupcake was physically gorgeous, two pieces of pear with a twist of lime zest. Unusual but delicious combo.

The cupcake itself was moist, and smelled a bit funny, like cocoa but with a bitter undertone. It tasted like cocoa but wasn't very sweet at all. It was kind of disappointing. The icicng on the other hand was delicious, sweet but not achingly so, and paired very nicely with the lime zest and canned pears. The chocolate cupcake left a funny aftertaste, but the icing and toppers were delicious.

Would I buy these again? Debatable. I sure wouldn't refuse a cupcake if offered, but the cupcake itself, devoid of icing, was definitely not thrilling.
