Look Cupcake

Rhienn cup-catered our wedding reception this past weekend and I am still glorying in the amazing goodness of Look Cupcake. We decided on three flavors: La Nina de Chocolate Diablo (Mexican spiced chocolate cake, cinnamon cheesecake filling and Kahlua Swiss meringue bu...ttercream), The Bollywood (vanilla Chai spice cake, salted caramel filling and fresh ginger buttercream) and Summer in Your Hand (fresh lemon cake, strawberry cheesecake filling and strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream). There were both full-sized cupcakes and minis in all three flavors. Rhienn came out to not only deliver the cupcakes but also assist with the set-up and decoration of the tiered stand...the finished arrangement was absolutely gorgeous, it made all taste-buds within a 300-foot radius stand at attention.\t\n\t\nWith a precious few leftovers available after the soiree, I bundled up some up for the freezer and some for the fridge, to be devoured in a moist-crumb-laden frenzy in the near future. My favorite was the Diablo. The dark, moist chocolate cake had the most wonderful after-burn, it made your lips tingle in the subtlest of ways. The flavor combination of the spicy chocolate, the cinnamon cheesecake and the delicate Kahlua buttercream (and yes, this is REAL buttercream, folks) made me want to hoard every last cupcake in the house. A close second were both the Bollywood and the lemon - both were wonderful and such different flavors that there is no way to narrow it down. All three flavors were a knockout. And I made the wonderful discovery that a refrigerated cupcake, when microwaved for about 20 seconds, turns into a warm, moist treat where the buttercream just starts to get all soft and melty and the filling inside melds with the cake and creates this amazing symphony of warm, gooey, flavor-filled goodness that causes one to lose all sense of self and just devour the entire thing before it has a chance to cool off. \t\n\t\nAre you drooling yet?\t\n\t\nGo see Rhienn, she'll hook you up.
