Finally! After 7 months of hunting, I found a Starbucks Cupcake! Well technically my friend Lauren found it, but either way, I got it! And I was pleasantly surprised.
This was the only cupcake they had that wasn't a Cheesecake Factory Cupcake: a Red Velvet Cupcake with Chocolate Truffle Filling, and it was great! One thing though, I thought the cake itself tasted fantastic without the filling. I don't think the filling hurt the flavor, but I could have done without it.
The frosting did the job - not too sweet, but not something you want to eat by the spoonful either. The whole package was very fresh and moist, and after finishing the last bite, I realized I thought it tasted more like a really good sugar cookie than your average Red Velvet cupcake! Would I eat this cupcake again? Most definitely!

I'm dying to know where you picked up this little gem of a cupcake!!!
Stabucks + Cupcakes= DOUBLE TROUBLE
Ah! I can't believe I forgot to mention that! This cupcake is available at the Starbucks in the Barnes & Noble Bookstore (upstairs) in Bethesda, MD. I've been in two other Starbucks in Bethesda just this week who don't carry any cupcakes at all, so I would definitely call before going to a random Starbucks to find them :)
How many calories? I've looked everywhere and can't find that info.
Starbucks has started their Valentines Cupcake feature.I just bought a red velvet one today, it was horrible. The frosting was edible but had a stron lemon flavor and the cake was very very dry.
I agree with Lesley..the Red Velvet cupcake from Starbucks (the chain) is TERRIBLE! For one thing it is dry...for another it is not cream cheese frosting..you just cannot use buttercream on a red velvet cupcake! BUT the one from the B & N/Starbucks cafe that is from The Cheesecake Factory is the BOM!!! Best cupcake I've ever had!
