One of the most disappointing eating experiences in recent memory had to be my first trip to Cupcake Royale.
I believe that a place called Cupcake Royale should have some pretty freakin’ good cupcakes. It’s their name, you know? They should have a ton of different flavors. The cake should be moist, the frosting sublime. I should want to stop every time I walk by. This is my hope.
Cupcake Royale presents its customers with chocolate and vanilla cake that is oh-so-dry. The frosting is gritty and bland in a variety of flavors. It doesn’t seem to matter which combination you pick, the end result is bland. It is very strange to me that they don’t have other cake flavors. This is the reality.
As bad as their normal cupcakes are, they do sell the best piece of cake in the world, the Deathcake. It’s secret is that it is made by Theo Chocolates… and it is the most insanely chocolatey piece of cake ever. I can only ever eat half of one, they are so rich. And they are only available around Valentine’s Day.
Their coffee isn’t bad… perhaps a name change to Coffee Royale? Get a deathcake when they are available, avoid Cupcake Royale the rest of the year.
Rating: 1 star (out of 5). Deathcake: 5 stars
