Designer Desserts: S'mores Cupcake

Happy New Years!  

Our goal for 2014 is to bring you more cupcake reviews!

The cupcake listed above is Designer Desserts S'mores Cupcake.

Presentation : 10/10 Sprinkles

We definitely feel like this cupcake looked like a S'more.  We like to see when cupcakes actually look like what they are named so we gave it a high score.

Taste & Texture: 6/10 Sprinkles

Cake:  The cake tasted like straight-up box chocolate cake.  Something your mom could have made in the kitchen after she was experimenting with dinner.

Frosting: The frosting was characteristic of designer desserts: vanilla butter cream with nuts.  However, that was just on the bottom layer of the frosting.  On the top of the cupcake sat a large jumbo marshmallow with an attached Hershey's piece of chocolate..

Overall:  

Shauna: 7/10 Sprinkles

Shauna believes that the presentation did not match up with the taste of this cupcake.  The presentation was so awesome but the actual taste of the cupcake wasn't too grand.

Katrina: 4/10 Sprinkles

Katrina doesn't like s'mores in general because she dislikes marshmallows.   Marshmallows aside, the Hershey's piece of chocolate was not stale but the cake was very generic tasting.  She would never order this cupcake again when there are so many other choices with Designer Dessert cupcakes.
