For a shop that was featured on Cupcake Wars, how disappointing. Then again, have you watched Food Network lately? Being on the show does not guarantee good food. Lesson learned, again. \n\nI got the peach berry cupcake and rosewater cupcake, both flavors being featured on Cupcake Wars (or something like that). \n\nRosewater cupcake - the scent of rose and floral taste was prominent in the frosting. The cake was overly moist to a point you couldn't hold it. It literally just crumbled in your hand. Not good. I like my cake moist but I would also like to actually hold it and be able to take a bite. My hands were a mess. The frosting was too sweet, perhaps too much sugar to make up for the insane amount of rose water put in it. I could smell the roses from 2 feet away. \n\nThe peach berry cupcake had peach corn cake with berry compote and tarragon. The tarragon was nowhere to be tasted. It just did not exist. Their website said it came with shortbread on top, which mine didn't have, and maybe the shortbread had tarragon? Either way, my soul was a little crushed due to lack of tarragon. The cake definitely had the corn cake texture and it made the cake a little dry. What an opposite from the rosewater cupcake. The frosting was well done, not overly sweet but not much flavor. Tasted like they went a little overboard with the shortening. \n\nIt was an experience but not one I would repeat.
