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!!!
ReplyDeleteStabucks + 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 :)
ReplyDeleteHow many calories? I've looked everywhere and can't find that info.
ReplyDeleteStarbucks 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
