Twix Cupcake

Twix Cupcake
I bought this cupcake at a cupcake store in Princeton, NJ. It was a hard decision as they had many tasty flavors. It came down to this and the Oreo one- even though the girl told me Oreo was one of the top 3 flavors, I decided that Oreo is overdone, so I went with Twix. I was not disappointed.
Taste: It was a chocolate cupcake with delicious chocolate frosting. Also on top were not necessarily pieces of Twix, but more likely the ingredients that make up a Twix (chocolate, caramel, cookie pieces). Everything about it was very good.
Texture: Like any store-bought cupcake, there was more frosting than cake. Because of this, I had to leave a little frosting at the end because it was overwhelming for me. The cake was soft and the frosting was soft and light (buttercream?). The pieces on top were a little sticky in my teeth but not too bad, even the caramel.

Raspberry Lemon Creme Cupcakes

Recipe: Raspberry Lemon Creme Cupcakes
Ingredients:
Batter: Flour, sugar, butter, oil, baking soda, vanilla, egg, buttermilk
Frosting: Cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, red food coloring (+ raspberry preserves for the filling)
Taste: I really like raspberry, and the lemon adds a zesty flavor. The frosting is actually just lemon flavored, and the filling is lemon-raspberry. The cupcake part itself is pretty plain, but with the strong taste of the frosting and filling, it makes sense. If anything, it’s a little bit too sweet for my taste.
Texture: This was really intense (really sweet/creamy/dry). How can it be creamy and dry at the same time? Well, the intense frosting and filling made me really thirsty for some milk or something. I probably wouldn’t make them again because I prefer something lighter.
