Cookie Confidential

It was really sunny so you couldn't
really see the sign.

      Today we went to a cupcake place in Philadelphia by South Street. It was called Cookie Confidential. They sold cupcakes in the form of push pops and in jars. Also, they sold beer flavored cupcakes. Yuck!!
      It was not in a very clean area. There was graffiti on the walls and gum on the sidewalks. The place was very nice, though. It had a mystery theme and had lots of caution tape. There wasn't really anywhere to sit. They had 3 stools and a table.

These were the push pops.

      Now, the cupcakes. They had a whole display of just regular cupcakes, but they were all beer flavored. They had cookies, too. Then, they had cupcakes in jars. There were 1 layered cupcakes (cupcake and frosting), 2 layered cupcakes (2 cupcakes and 2 frosting layers), and push pops (2 mini cupcakes and 2 layers of frosting in a push pop container). That was pretty cool, but they could have made regular cupcakes that were not beer flavored. The flavors were not very good. They just had vegan chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, vanilla butter cream, and blueberry pancake. They might have had 1 or 2 more flavors but that is pretty much it. The frosting was very sweet. Almost too sweet!
      The store was overall pretty good. The only thing they might want to change is adding more flavors and more seating. I recommend that you go to this place and try it out if you have extra time.

House of Cupcakes

House of Cupcakes

YUM!

A sign that says "House of Cupcake"s.

  Happy New Year! A few days ago we went into Philly and we were going to go to a cupcake place called Philly Cupcakes. Unfortunately, it was closed.

The next day we decided to go to Princeton to the House of Cupcakes. They actually won the Cupcake Wars recently but instead of keeping the $10,000 in prize money, they donated it all to St. Judes.

     They had a very large selection of cupcakes. Over 20 different kinds! The selections weren't  just regular kinds either. There was eggnog, strawberry, s'mores, etc. There was also the regular kinds, too.

    We got mint chocolate chip (mine), strawberry shortcake, 3 candy cup cupcakes, a vanilla, and a coffee flavored. They were so good! The House of Cupcakes was probably my favorite one so far! No wonder they won the Cupcake Wars!  I think if I had to rate this from 1-10 it would be an 11 with the Night Kitchen (see previous entry)coming close behind with a 10.9! If you are ever in Princeton, NJ you need to check this place out! It was my favorite place out of all of these that I've reviewed!

The Sugar Hoot

In November we were in Connecticut and went to this place cupcake place called "The Sugar Hoot". It was a really cute and quaint place in New Milford. I got a black and white cupcake. It was a marble cake with some chocolate frosting and some vanilla. It was really good! The only thing we wished they had was more of a selection. There were only about 5 cupcakes to chose from and only about 5 cookies to choose from, too. If The Sugar Hoot got more of a selection and maybe a bigger place, they would be very successful. If you are ever in the town of New Milford, CT you should go a pay The Sugar Hoot a visit!
