Cupcakes on Pitt.

Oh how dreadful this weather has been in Sydney this whole week, nothing but rain. Great for the water catchments though! So on such glum days like this what could of been a better idea than to have gotten a couple of cupcakes brighten the day up.One Blueberry cupcake and a Carrot cupcake please!

Cupcakes on Pitt! Have you ever walked past the little shop on Pitt street that was filled with the most prettiest little cupcakes you have ever seen. I always looked twice never thought twice to try it though.

Now 2 for $5. hrm.. quite dear for such little things but look at how pretty they are, I almost didn't want to eat them! The Carrot cupcake (on the left), was firm had a delicate swirl of icing on its 'cupcake top' and topped with a nice little walnut (which got gobbled up by someone before i even noticed it was there!). It reminded me of a simple carrot cake actually but bite size and a more earthy taste to it (if that makes sense), i was surprised to actually feel the carrot bits in the muffin... I mean cupcake! It's wasn't a bad thing, if anything it was unique and very nice to have the tiniest crunch of real carrots in it.

The Blueberry cupcake stood a little bit taller than his/her carrot counterpart, which proved a bit puzzling to bite. The cupcake itself was very nice, perfect amount of sweetness and was cook perfect! No unevenness of rising dough here. But the cream was what made me say to myself "Oh, wow." To me it seemed like cream and/or moose but it wasn't icing. It was so soft yet it still held shape despite being out of its fridge for so long.

In the end, it was a very nice treat and did brighten up such a wet gloomy day. Give it a go next time you walk past it, i recommend trying it for when you're bored, peckish, hungry or on a date. =).

  1. Cupcakes are the best :)
    But these cupcakes are ridiculously overpriced :( Still pretty delicious though - especially the one with Oreos on it. Mmmmm :)
