Whimsical Cupcakes

Yesterday for Ryan's secret date, I took him to Whimsical Cake Studio. I had come across the website for this studio while in Whitehorse, and I had to check it out before we head back to Whitehorse. The studio is a charming little pink shop located in Riverbend in Edmonton. The owner of the shop makes all of her cupcakes from scratch and displays each flavor on a pedestal behind a glass counter. She also makes AMAZING custom cakes for any occasion.

Since there were so many flavours of cupcakes to choose from, we decided to get a box of 6 cupcakes. The ones that we chose were:



Pretty in Mint:
A milk chocolate cupcake with peppermint frosting

Snowball:
Fluffy sour cream cupcake topped with a tart lemon icing rolled in flakes of coconut.


Funky Monkey:
Chocolate cupcake with banana flavoured frosting.


Razzle Dazzle Me:
Vanilla or Dark Chocolate cupcake frosted with real raspberry butter cream.


Nostalgia:
Classic vanilla or chocolate cupcake frosted with creamy vanilla or chocolate frosting.


Caramelo:
Chocolate or vanilla cucpake with a satin caramel buttercream.



I can honestly say that these were the best cupcakes that I have ever tried! My favorite was the Razzle Dazzle Me (unfortunately Ryan chose this one and I only got a bite....but it WAS his date!). I cannot wait to go back to this studio and try all of the other flavors! Only 17 days to accomplish this task, but if anybody can do it, I can!



Just an example of the potential of these cupcakes!
