Today's Wretched Excess: The $3 Cupcake

Behold what your humble cupcaquero encountered this week: the $3 Cupcake from this fatuous outfit (actually $3.25 each, but a "bargain" $3 per when bought by the dozen).

Missus had been gifted with a gift card from this frou-frou bakery and decided to cash it in while in the neighborhood.

This one was called "Lemon Coconut." The dollop of icing was thick and tasted like it was made from pretty choice ingredients. But for the price that's the least it could do.

The cake portion tasted like a nice, light cross between a regular white cake and angelfood. Nice, but hardly worth $3.

How this place makes a go of it in this economy is beyond me.

Missus and I still have eleven more of these things (different flavors) to chew through. More reports later.


Yes, 11 left! Some are in the freezer.
