Once you walk inside the brightly lit store, you will realize why it's called Crave.
The clusters of plump cupcakes topped with flawless twirls of colorful icing and delicate little sprinkles can draw the sweet tooth craving out of any one. I'm not a cupcake person, but I was like a restless monkey being teased by endless bunches of bananas outside my cage. Look at all the flavours!
Luckily, in addition to the big cupcakes ($2.95 each, $16.95 for half a dozen), they also sell mini cupcakes for ($1.75 each or $16.95 for a dozen, which is what we got).
As you can see, they need to elevate the price because half the cost went into the labour and materials of the packaging. Oops, I mean, they are very attentive with the presentation. They even pack two big cupcakes in a whole casing with a bowtie.I couldn't wait to dive into them right after walking out the store, and went on to try three flavours: Cravolicious (blue vanilla buttercream icing with chocolate sprinkles), Chocolate, and Red devil (red cupcake with cream cheese buttercream topping).
The cupcakes generally taste the same with two base variations: vanilla and chocolate. Not sure what the red one was, but it didn't have a distinctive taste. If you like extremely sugary, creamy icing that melts even when you just breathe on it, then you will fall in love with these cupcakes. I really enjoyed the cake part because it's very soft, moist, and barely sugary, which would pair perfectly with a touch of the icing. So personally, I thought the mini bites would've been an A+ if there were half the icing there just to flavour up the cakes. But then again, I'm not an icing cupcake person, so I'm sure those of you who are will find yourself a piece of heaven in these pretty little things.
