Designer Desserts: Caramel Apple Pie

The cupcake pictured above is Designer Desserts: Caramel Apple Pie.

Presentation : 6/10 Sprinkles

We think the presentation was okay.  However, we think that an apple slice would have spruced things up.  The frosting looked like chocolate while we were picking it out, but it wasn't chocolate at all!

Taste & Texture

Cake: The cake tastes like apples because it has actual apple bits baked into it.  The cake had medium moistness because the apples added a lot of moisture to the cake.

Frosting: What frosting?  This cupcake just had tons of thick melted caramel "frosting" on the top to have a frosting appearance.  There is "apple pie filling" in the center of the frosting, which was amazing!  However, the caramel part was just TOO MUCH SUGAR!

Overall:  

Shauna: 3/10 Sprinkles

Shauna did not like this cupcake because she thought this cupcake was just a piece of apple pie, which she does not like.  

Katrina: 7/10 Sprinkles

Katrina is a caramel and apple pie junkie so she ended up eating this whole cupcake after Shauna taste tested it.  If you are looking for a fall cupcake, this one is for you!  However, this cupcake is more of a dessert than a cupcake.  Beware of the sugar!
