The coconut cupcake was too dry and hot chocolate was lukewarm. Also the marshmallows were way too sweet.
On to the next place. Saint Cupcake was cute little store sharing with another business behind it. Very simply decorated cupcakes were good, just not great. They have vegan cupcakes too. They packed our orders in a cute little box. I wish they had a place to sit down and eat. We were already sugared out so decided not to go Papa Hayden. I like the store but sometimes it is too rich and too sweet.We really miss Japanese sweets store like La Palme D'or Patisserie in Hawaii.



After all that sugar intake I still l had my usual fix of homemade hot chocolate in my favorite mug at evening. I bought the mug from Starbucks around Valentine’s day 6 years ago. IT has the word “love” on front and inside the mug says “love” in Chinese character.



So, what's your homemade hot chocolate recipe? Do you use a mix? I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a few cupcake places around here. We've only been to one so far, and they're pretty good. Lots of variety of flavors, but I try not to compare them to Japanese bakeries.
ReplyDeleteI've been mostly underwhelmed by cupcake shops. Here there's a bakery with some amazing cupcakes, however (even though it's not Japanese). Maybe you'll have to open your own in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, try Cupcake Jones in downtown PDX: http://www.cupcakejones.net/
ReplyDeleteI think they are all right, I have only tried two varieties, they have a few regulars and switch up the rest daily, and also have a seasonal menu.
I agree with you observation about the quality of cupcake at Saint Cupcake.
Good luck in your search!
