cUPcake UPdate

I am now officially more than half way through the list of Cape Town's top ten cupcakes. Well, I guess it's technically only exactly half way, but because three of the places listed only sell through websites, and I'm only ordering from one of them, I can now check off five of the eight places I will try.

#3. Lazari Night And Day: Vanilla cake with pink frosting that is actually melted white chocolate. The cake was delicious. I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, but it was still tasty. And so pretty!

#4. Queen of Tarts: Chocolate Chili. I love me some spicy chocolate. I'm fairly certain the chili was only in the frosting, but it left that lovely feeling of your lips burning ever so slightly minutes after taking a bite. The cake was weird, a bit dry. Not my favorite.

#5. Mango Ginger: Chocolate Pear Muffin. So this is technically not a cupcake, but it was on the list. I warmed it up before digging in, which made the inside warm enough to seem like it melted in my mouth, but did nothing to help the dry exterior. Also, I got a bite of not-mixed-in baking soda or salt or something. Not delicious.

Don't worry. I did not eat these all at the same time or even on the same day.
