Green Vanilla Frosting on Vanilla Cake, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, http://www.sugarsweetsunshine.On a gorgeous summer Sunday afternoon, I went for a "cupcake crawl" in downtown Manhattan with my best cupcake tasing buddies, Caryn of Carebear's Kitchen, and Lawrence and Justin from My Two Nuts. Caryn recapped our day of adventure fantastically at her Caryn's 101 Things blog. We had an amazing afternoon of strolling, enjoying wonderful weather, hanging out in the park, and most importantly sharing many delicious cupcakes! This was one of the cupcakes that was a product of our first NYC cupcake crawl!
Taste: The icing has a strong vanilla taste, which is nice, and is very sweet. The cake is lacking in flavor. I find it average, although Caryn liked it a lot. Overall Taste Rating: 3 out of 5 Sprinkles
Texture: The frosting is smooth. The cake could be moister. The granulated sugar crystals on top add a nice crunch. Overall Texture Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Sprinkles
Aesthetic: Not the most gorgeous cupcake-- the pastel icing is cute, and the sugar crystals on top add a nice sparkle given that the icing isn't shiny at all, but the dusting of hot pink sprinkles is halfhearted at best, and the icing application is uneven and doesn't go all the way down to the edge of the wrapper, leaving naked cake top exposed. The golden color on the cake is nice. Overall Aesthetic Rating: 2.75 out of 5 Sprinkles.
Satisfaction: A tasty enough treat, but not my favorite Sugar Sweet Sunshine cupcake. Overall Satisfaction Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Sprinkles
Overall Cupcake Ranking: 12.75 Sprinkles (out of 20 possible)
