Cupcake Checklist

When I heard about Cupcakes by Sonja I knew I just had to try them. I was told that they were heavenly and worth the steep price I would have to pay. So one day while craving chocolate I went in search of these cupcakes.

They were good and I did come back for more. But should you go there and try some for yourself? Here's my checklist of cupcakes from Sonja to help you decide:

Vanilla Sunshine, a classic and fluffy yellow cake topped with either vanilla or buttercream, P48. The verdict: not so great. a little too sweet actually.

Chocolate Surprise, Valrhona chocolate cupcakes topped with either our signature vanilla buttercream or creamy chocolate frosting, P62. The verdict: YUMMY!!! My favorite so far, but then again I am a chocoholic. If there's one flavor that's worth trying I believe it's this one. My brother-in-law thinks it's too sweet though so if you don't have a sweet tooth you may not like it as much as I do.

Lemon Drop, delicious vanilla cake smothered in our signature lemon buttercream frosting, P55. The verdict: I don't think I can give a very educated comment on this one cause I only had one bite but I guess for those who like lemon (yes Danee, that would be you) this one is a good one too.

Mocha Motion, moist chocolate cupcake dolloped with a perfect frothy mocha buttercream topping, P68. The verdict: Again, too much sugar. Too sweet for me.

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Flourless Chocolate Cake, dense Valrhona flourless chocolate with rich, velvety texture, dissolves in your mouth with pure sublime flavor, P98. The verdict: It's another cupcake made for chocolate lovers like me, although I really think it's to expensive to have to end up with chocolate all over your face. Definitely not something you want to eat on a date.

Bunny Huggers Carrot Cake, very moist cake made with fresh carrots topped with cream cheese frosting, P55. The verdict: It wasn't as moist as they say and really not that great. I like the carrot cake in Figaro better.

I've still got a long way to go in sampling all of Sonja's cupcakes so I'll keep you updated.
Till next craving....
