So I ventured across the River to Shreveport's sister city, Bossier (pronounced Beau-sher) City to BUTTERCUP'S CUPCAKES off East Texas Street in the new, and quite nice if I do say so myself, Villagio apartment complex. The display is similar to that off Sprinkle's, but they cupcakes do taste different! I decided to opt for the Banana Pudding and Red Velvet (of course).
Today I am trying the unique Banana Pudding, and it is just that, unique. The cake reminds me of sponge cake in texture and taste (with a lemony banana taste along with the vanilla). The cupcake itself is quite heavy thanks to the mass of icing added to it. Now I am an icing fan, so I say yes to most cupcakes that make my arms get a work-out from lifting the icing weight. However, even this was a little much for my super sweet taste buds. Overall, I still give this cupcake a reasonably strong rating with 3.5 out of 5, but I believe it will be raised to a 4 once I have devoured the red velvet (AKA the real test). I only recommend the banana pudding one if you REALLY love banana pudding.
I have to also give props to the store for it's delectable presentation of colorful eye candy treats. They even have adorable mini whoopie-pies.
I am just happy that there is at least one place dedicated to adorable cupcakes ;)
Officially: 4 out of 5 stars!
Chao for now Cupcake Lovers Deluxe!
