Wildflour Cupcakes

It's no secret that I love all things cupcake, so I am constantly looking for new cupcake shoppes to try when I travel. Recently, a new shoppe called Wildflour (get the pun?!?!) Cupcakes opened up a couple minutes away from my house so of course I had to stop by and taste some of their yummy cupcakes!!!

The store front itself is actually really cute and pretty similar to how I would want to decorate my store (if I'm ever fortunate enough to open my own bakery). I really like the chandeliers and molding on the walls, it really adds character and charm. I also love the little details like the pink chairs and chalk board menu board. My only complaint with the physical store is the location. While it is in a great area and near a lot of other stores that get plenty of business (Starbucks, Pinkberry, Chipotle...) it is in the back of the shopping center behind the main row of stores so you can't see it and wouldn't even know it was there if not for the sign on the corner of the street.

Now for the important part: THE CUPCAKES! There wasn't a whole lot of options to choose from but then again, this isn't Sprinkles. I actually went to their website when I got home and found out that they do have a pretty wide selection of cupcakes that they rotate throughout the week. I decided to choose four flavors and came home with Red Velvet (of course, my favorite), Oreo Truffle (looked interesting and chocolatey enough to satisfy Mike), Pumpkin, and Carrot. The cupcakes looked exactly how I would have expected them to with the typical dollop of  frosting and small fondant flower decorations, but never the less they looked yummy. The girl behind the counter packaged them up for me in a clear plastic container that held all four cupcakes and put a sticker with their logo on the top. If it were my shoppe I would have used boxes, but that's just me...

Overall, I really enjoyed the cupcakes. They were flavorful and moist, very tasty; and the frostings weren't too sweet. I liked the Oreo buttercream frosting with the chocolate ganache coating on the Oreo Truffle Cupcake. The Pumpkin Cupcake was delicious!!!My only critique would be there was A LOT of frosting. I know some people are into frosting and can't get enough, but this felt like I was eating frosting with a side of cake, if you know what I mean. Regardless, I'm glad I tried the shoppe and will definitely return again!
