Review: The Flying Cupcake
3.5 stars.
The Flying Cupcake is a quaint restaurant whose name gives away its specialty. From the Chocolate Ganache (a chocolate cupcake with a rich chocolate ganache and white chocolate shavings) to the Twilight cupcake (a marble cake topped with a swirl of chocolate and vanilla buttercream) to the Bananarama (a moist cake chock full of bananas, smothered in cream cheese and rolled in pecans), The Flying Cupcake serves a variety of tasty pastries that will satisfy anyone. I ordered the Happy Birthday to Me cupcake and the delectable icing complemented the rich bread perfectly. Instead of the overly cutesy aura that might be expected of a restaurant serving only cupcakes, the atmosphere was pleasantly understated. A significant disadvantage at The Flying Cupcake is that the pastries are highly priced, between $2.75 and $3.50 a piece. Still, this is a lovely place to enjoy an intimate environment and a delicious cupcake as often as your budget allows!
