The Cupcakery in St. Louis

January 10, 2012 /

When I was in St. Louis  during the Christmas holiday I was introduced to The Cupcakery/Crave The Cup. Patrick’s sister, Kari, and her friends seem to have made going to this particular bakery a tradition whenever they are in town visiting from college. I think I rather like that tradition and I will tell you why…

Normally when I go to bakery, I am very disappointed in the cupcakes.

Come on, admit it…you have been there. You feel my pain. They look sooooo pretty and then it is such a let down when you take your first bite. I normally end up yelling with yuckie pieces of dry cupcake falling out of my mouth:

“I could make something better than this at home and I just paid $5.75 for this thing!”

All of those bakeries that are supposed to be THE best, just end of not being. Maybe I am just completely spoiled having a mother who is a baker. But still, when I can have something outstanding at home from my mom, why on earth would I pay so much for a *ahem pardon my french* shitty cupcake?

However…

I was pleasantly surprised when I had a cupcake at The Cupcakery. The cake was moist, AH-mazing! Finally a cake that wasn’t dry and had an excellent texture! The frosting was creamy and light. Alleluia!

Perhaps these cupcakes didn’t have the most gorgeous appearance but they tasted yummy. I don’t know about you but I would much rather have a cupcake taste yummy than have it be beautifully artistic and taste like a sponge with royal icing on top. Don’t get me wrong, I think people do AMAZING work with baking with designing and whatnot, but I would just rather it taste good than look good. Just sayin’.

(BTDUBS, oh my goodness, is this blog turning me into a food snob? haha)

So check it out:

I got the Tuxedo Cupcake: Vanilla buttercream on their dark chocolate cake. Om Nom Nom!

Very good if I must say so myself. I am not a frosting person really and this frosting was great. I normally have a little bite or two of frosting but I gladly swallowed every last bite of that vanilla buttercream goodness.

Patrick decided he wanted to go with one of the specialty cupcakes they had. The Pumpkin Harvest Cupcake:

It was a pumpkin spiced cupcake with spiced buttercream frosting. He seemed to rather enjoy it. 🙂

So, if any of you foodies ever make it out to St. Louis and want a sweet treat, I would highly suggest you stop in at The Cupcakery and see what they have going on that week.

Thanks Kari for introducing it to me! It was fabulous 😀

Hope you all are having a great week!
