Designer Desserts: Mint Chocolate Chip

The photo above is of Designer Desserts: Mint Chocolate Chip cupcake.

Presentation : 9/10 Sprinkles

Another green cupcake!  We love the chocolate mint shavings on the top of the frosting.  The Hershey's kiss in the middle is milk chocolate.  The chocolate is a muted mint green and there are mini chocolate chips on the top. 

Taste & Texture

Cake: We felt like the cake tasted like a dull mint flavor.  We were afraid of this cupcake being TOO minty but it did not overwhelm us!  The cake was dense and moist, which is common with Designer Dessert cupcakes.

Frosting: The flavor of the frosting was mint and it was colored green.  The only "chocolate chip" part of the cupcake was in the chocolate chips on the top of the cupcake and the Hershey's kiss. 

Overall:  

Shauna: 7/10 Sprinkles because she is not a fan of mint but enjoyed the chocolate chips and Hershey's kiss on the top of the frosting.  Shauna thinks that this cupcake needs MORE CHOCOLATE!

Katrina: 8/10 Sprinkles because she loves mint everything.  She believes the frosting was great but it did not taste as good as an Andes Mint.
