Ella's Bakehouse in London
- Cake: The cake was ridiculously sweet to the unpleasant point. The cake had enough cocoa that it was almost to the point of calling it a chocolate cupcake, but there was also a buttery undertone too.
- Frosting: The bakery claims that this is cream cheese frosting, but we really doubt it. It was SO unbelievably sugary that it was hard to tell what flavor it was. We actually had to stop eating the frosting after just a couple of bites because it was so sugary.
- Coloring: Dark red, nice.
- Consistency: Crumbly and dry.
- Additional Comments: This cupcake was too sweet to eat, especially the frosting. After just a few bites we ditched the frosting, and a couple bites later, the whole cupcake. Upon reviewing their website, it appears that the cake is brushed with a light vanilla sugar syrup which could explain the whole "too sweet" flavor. Perhaps for a British palate this cupcake is a better fit, but for Americans, we wouldn't recommend this red velvet cupcake.
~We give this cupcake 1 out of 5 stars~
