Christmas is here and they’re celebrating at Muddy’s Bake Shop by giving us the Santa Baby Cupcake ($2.25). It’s chocolate cake, pink peppermint buttercream, and peppermint candy sprinkles on top.
When you’re handed the cupcake you immediately smell the peppermint. On the first and second bite, I found myself repeating the word “interesting.” It’s like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. My friend who was visiting from out of town said the same thing and exclaimed, “I’ve never tried something quite like this before.”
The pink peppermint buttercream is the first thing you taste. It’s creamy, airy and has a strong peppermint taste. The peppermint candy sprinkles on top was fun to crunch on against the opposing textures of the cake and buttercream. The chocolate cupcake itself is just that, chocolaty, but only a hint of that peeks through.
If you love peppermint, the Santa Baby cupcake is for you! Only available for a limited time.
