I had a religious experience at Cupcake Royale today, and it is all I can do to not just run back there and buy tons of these cupcakes to give to everyone I love. I was tempted to buy one to go, but resisted.
I walked into Cafe Verite, ready to get my usual red velvet cupcake and an americano and do some intense studying with Heather, when I saw something different in the pastry case. The cupcake flavor of the month was salted caramel. Now, I love salted caramel, I can't get enough of them, and without a moment's hesitation, I ordered the cupcake and carried it back to our table. Heather, as it turns out, had already eaten one, and gave me an enthusiastic thumbs-up on my cupcake choice.
This cupcake was divine. Magnificent. Excuisite. I am told that Cupcake Royale recently changed their chocolate cake batter, and the cupcake was great on its own, but the frosting! It tasted just like werther's caramels, wasn't too sweet, and complemented the chocolate perfectly. On top of the frosting were chocolate shavings and a generous dusting of fleur-de-sel. I found cupcake perfection.
