Delish Cakes: Oreo Cupcake

We reviewed this cupcake at Chicago's 2nd Annual Baking & Sweets Show in Schaumburg, IL on Nov 16, 2014.  Delish Cakes is located at 112 W. Lake St. Bloomingdale IL, 60108 and their website is here.

Appearance : 8/10 sprinkles
We thought the piping on the frosting was very professional and we recognized what flavor the cupcake was right away. 

Taste:
Cake: 7/10 sprinkles

We took a bite of it and the outside was stiffer and drier. We figure it was because they were in a glass case at the sweets show. The middle of the cupcake was very moist and had a hearty milk chocolate flavor. 

Frosting : 5/10 sprinkles

We thought this cupcake tasted more like a cookies and cream and less like a signature oreo (yes, there's a difference).  The frosting put us off. It was thick and not as sweet as we had hoped.

Overall: 6/10 sprinkles 
We thought there would be more cupcake vendors at the show that we went to but it turns out that Delish Cakes was one of the only places that we saw! We were recommended to eat the apple pie or blackout cupcakes but we really wanted to try the Oreo.  It was just okay but not very sweet and moist (two things we look for in cupcakes).

Stay tuned for our next cupcake we reviewed at the show!
