There was a great article in the New York last month that a friend sent me:Gramercy Tavern’s Nancy Olson Rates New York’s Cupcakes We’ve been to Magnolia’s many a time and I agree that they overdose on the frosting. So Robo and I visited ChikaLicious (which btw is dangerously close to our apartment) and ordered the Smores,Mocha,Red Velvet,and Black &White cupcakes. They were smallish,about the size of home-made cupcakes,but so worth it! EDIT:We went back with cupcake fanatics Gen &sis today and here’s the final rundown:
- Smores –the marshmallow frosting/topping was actually burnt/toasted so you could taste the carmelized marshallow
- Mocha –good but the espresso-chocolate ganache filling wasn’t gooey enough –if it were warmed up it’d be excellent
- Red Velvet –Robo’s favorite
the cream cheese frosting was to die for…had just the right amount of cream cheese and sugar to make it light but yumyumyummy! - Black and White –solid,no complaints there,just a great cupcake.
- Caramel –the sweetest of them all,beware:the cake was nearly saturated with caramel sugar
- Coconut –fragrant with the toasted coconut on top,but only so-so
- Triple Chocolate –deefinitely a must for a chocoholic,the chocolate frosting wasn’t overly sweet and you could taste the dark cocoa in the cake
We finally got pictures –sorry about the poor lighting
