Yesterday, I finally got to do the ultimate cupcake taste test I've been wanting to do for a while, with help from a friend.
Jeff and I got cupcakes from The Shoppe, on East Colfax, and Happy Cakes in the Highlands. We got a variety of flavors - Rainbow Sherbet, Chocolate Chip Butterscotch, Ginger Peach, Banana Split, Killa Bee, Boo Bear, Dirt Pie, Chocolate Salted Caramel, French Toast - and determined a very scientific criteria to judge the cupcakes. Note - 6 of those were mini cupcakes (one bites) from The Shoppe, so we weren't total gluttons. On a 10 point scale, we rated each cupcake based on presentation, flavor, ratio of cake to icing, cake, and creativity.
When all was said and done - and eaten, 2 of our 3 favorites were from The Shoppe...but Happy Cakes gets extra points for awesomeness for sneaking the Dirt Pie into our box.
I'm glad we did it, so I don't have to eat that many cupcakes ever again. Or at least for a long while.
