Couture Confections

I know, I know. It has been too too long. I AM BACK! Well, for a while. I am trying this post-holiday season healthy New Year's stuff while still enjoying the occasional cupcake.

My most recent endeavor was a pure accident. While finishing SHANGHAI GIRLS by Lisa See in one of my favorite latte spots, The Pearl Cup, I passed by this 3-week old dessert cafe to try a red velvet cupcake. First, I love the perfectly petite size. As much as I rave and love Society, I feel I need to work out for 10 hours after eating one. Couture is the place for a treat where you do not feel the guilt and still leave satisfied. Though the cost, $3.25, is a bit much. The cake itself was moist and decent, and the flavor is decent too. I was a little disappointed with the icing, because I feel that makes the cupcake as special as it is to my heart (a moment of reminiscence). The amount was fine, but the taste was a little too cream cheesy rather than buttercreamy amazingness (did I say I was a buttercream fan?).

Overall, I give this boutique a 3 out of 5 stars.

I am determined to try The Cupcakery after my next workout! Until next time, Tata!
