Despite he fact that I was a girl scout for 5 years, and went to Camp Potomac Woods during 3 of my summers, I hate s'mores. And I especially hate marshmallows. But when one of my friends goes out of their way to brin me a cupcake, I don't care if its made of crocodile teeth-I'm eating it!
One of Little Miss Cupcake's bestest friends was out and about in Fair Oaks Mall when she passed by Cakelove and picked me out a S'mores cupcake.
I had wanted to try one of their cupcakes for YEARS, but everyone I knew had nary a nice thing to say about them. I heard their cupcakes were dry, stale, and overall, not very good. So my expecttaion bar was set pretty low. But this cake tasted as good as it looks! The chocolate cake was rich and divine, and the frosting perfectly complimented that richness. That frosting was a refreshing glass of milk. The reason I liked it is this is not a s'more masquerading as a cupcake-this is a cupcake INSPIRED BY a s'more. That is beautiful. That is what I love to bake myself, as noted in my pecan pie blog. Maybe I'm a purist, but a cupcake is a beautiful thing. It doesn't need to go around pretending to be another type of dessert.
