I will do a recap of my Austin cupcake eating soon (I tried them at Quack's, The Steeping Room, and Sugar Mama's Bakeshop, as well as Whole Foods), but for now, this is a photo of the 2 cute cupcakes I couldn't resist at Whole Foods. Most Whole Foods I've been to have very price, well-decorated cupcakes, but the flagship store took it to a whole (sorry, couldn't resist!) new level. They had mini cupcakes (no photos allowed) and these ones, which I deemed the cutest. There was one with an alligator on it!
I had just been to Sugar Mama's earlier in the day so only tasted these cupcakes. They had too much frosting, well, more than I needed anyway, and their frosting tends to be buttery, but this was sweet and butter. Probably best for kids (but I wouldn't give a kid this giant one to eat all by themselves).
Were they worth $3.99 each? It depends. Not for everyday, but for a special occasion. The snowflake was made of chocolate and was covered with sugar crystals; a beautiful touch and of course delicious. I sliced off a sliver of each for myself, then left the rest with my friend Vicky to bring to her friends, so maybe they were worth it - several people got to taste these (and when I cut my sliver off the back, you could hardly tell with the cookie face one).
