So Ray’s on the phone talking to our friend Amber and she’s like, “oh my God, if Doe were here she would die, our company bought us the most amazing cupcakes from Cake Couture Cupcakes.” And I’m like, “ohhh, can you guys save me one?” Anyhow, Ray and I are in the car driving around looking for a new place to dine when what do we drive right into, Cake Couture Cupcakes. It was fate, destiny, what-ever you want to call it. Some things are just meant to be and these cupcakes were made to be consumed by me and me alone. The place is pretty hidden inside Aina Haina Shopping Center Courtyard in Hawaii-Kai. The shopping center itself looks a bit outdated but Cake Couture Cupcakes was like finding a small gem in a bowl of rocks. Once you laid eyes on it it sparkles and shines and just draws you in. You can see from the picture and right through the window that the place is tiny.
As soon as I laid I eye upon these I knew she was the one. These were Eggnog flavor and cost $2.50 each.
I know, don’t they look so pretty? I almost didn’t want to eat it. I have to say, the first bite was orgasmic. The second bite was amazing. There was no doubt the frosting was eggnog. The cake itself was not eggnog and tasted yummy like most cupcakes do but it was definitely the frosting that makes the cake. By the time I got 2/3 through my eggnog delight I realize that one cupcake was all I could handle. The frosting didn’t taste too sweet at first but by the end it was really sweet and almost ruined my appetite for dinner.
I love cupcakes because they’re like having a little cake without having a whole cake. These are definitely worth a try. I know it’s the New Year and everyone’s trying to loose all that blubber they’ve accumulated in 2007 but I say fuck it. It’s o.k to be a hedonist every once in a while and the best time is at the beginning of the year so you have the rest of the year to focus on those goals. By the way, hope everyone had nothing but good times during the holidays and I wish you a very prosperous up coming year filled with full bellies and big smiles.
