Cupcake Adventure Part 1

Over the weekend, my best friend and I went to Ann Arbor to visit our friend/ my cousin! We had such a great time just catching up and talking and just being with each other! It's not very often that we are all together at the same time. I already knew that I wanted to stop at Cake Nouveau and try a cupcake. Courtney, the young woman who owns Cake Nouveau has been on and has won a lot of the Food Network Cake Challenges and has made some pretty amazing cakes! I have been anxious to go to her shop ever since I found out that it was so close! So, I finally made it there....finally!

It was such a cute and tiny little bakery painted and decorated with shades of purples, pinks and greens. It was very whimsical and fairytale like and it reminded me of a little princess bakery.

They had a few varieties of beautiful little cake truffles to pick from. I tried the chocolate cake truffle, which had a very moist chocolate cake center mixed with chocolate frosting and dipped in milk chocolate with colorful sprinkles. It was a yummy little two bite dessert  it reminded me of bakerella's cake pops or cake balls. Some of the other flavors they had were birthday cake, snickers, and strawberry.

And for the cupcakes, each week they have a variety of 4 different cupcake flavors to pick from. They had vanilla beany, chocolate truffle, which is the one I chose, a mint one, and a mocha one. I really liked how the cupcakes were decorated, pure simplicity with a special little touch on each one. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the cupcake as much as I had hoped....it was a little dry and the frosting tasted more like the whipped cream frosting where I prefer a super sweet buttercream....but those are just my tastebuds! Overall, I am glad I made it there. It was a fun experience with an adorable atmosphere and I got to eat my favorite meal of the day, dessert!

Next up, Cupcake Adventure 2: Cupcake Station, Ann Arbor, Michigan. I will fill you in about the sweet cupcakes there soon!
