Research

Cassidy and Mommy did a little cupcake research today. Hey, we have to check out the competition, right?

Cassidy does a cupcake taste test.

We went to Gigi's Cupcakes in Evansville, IN and picked up their Coconut Cream Pie cupcake. It's "coconut cake filled with coconut cream filling, topped with coconut cream cheese frosting and graham cracker crumbs." Cassidy thought this cupcake was yummy. However, she doesn't think it would make it on Cupcake Wars. The judges always say that the cake should be light and fluffy. This cupcake was dense, more like a muffin. It tasted great, though, and Gigi's cupcakes are always fun to eat because they look so pretty and girly. The coconut cream cheese frosting was definitely the best part. It was light and creamy and had a great flavor. There was one big disappointment, however; they seemed to have forgotten the coconut cream filling. Cassidy's cupcake had no filling. 

One day soon we'll attempt to copycat these coconut cream pie cupcakes and link back to this blog.
