well, the one at flying monkey is so terrible. and i am going off on this rant because i had it for the second time last week. the first time i tried a cupcake there, i was so disgusted i THREW IT AWAY. if you knew me, you'd realize that it takes a lot for me to throw away food, especially cake, but i did.
:: the flying monkey ::
address: reading terminal market, north 12th and arch st.
what we ate: cupcakes
the cake is DENSE, so dense you forget it's cake. but it's not dense in a moist way, similar to a pound cake. no, it's just dense, but also crumbly. sigh. and the frosting is neither light like whipped frostings, or creamy like a buttercream one. it's almost gelatinous. ALSO, full disclosure: i think the reason i'm so vocal about this cupcake is that it gets written up a lot for having very delicious baked goods, cupcakes in particular.
SIGH.
to be fair, i've had a lemon bar from the flying monkey before and it was pretty tasty. so i suspect their other baked treats are quite edible/enjoyable. but don't get the cupcakes. don't be fooled by their pretty colors and semi-interesting sounding flavors... they are the yucks.
peanut butter plaid: chocolate cupcake + peanut butter buttercream
the cupcake i had last week (my second, ever from here) was called "peanut butter plaid" and was basically chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. as i said before, the cake was dense and dry. the frosting tasted like a watered down version of peanut butter - so less the flavor, less the creaminess. sadface. i threw this one out too after a few bites.
chiho ordered this one for dessert. he got mad at me for letting him buy a cupcake from the flying monkey. he also threw his cupcake out.
