Hungry Hippo

With the threat of snow tonight, those who are pining for sunny weather and green cloaked trees can pretend to dance amongst the spring blossoms at the Cupcake Cafe.

My favourite flavour here is the walnut cupcake with maple buttercream icing. The cake is denser in texture than the average cupcake, but is always moist with a rich, not bitter, walnut flavour. And the lovely, buttery icing with a light maple touch compliments the cake perfectly. It all makes for a heavy (literally, weightwise), robust cupcake. But, really, what it all comes down to are the pretty, pretty flowers. If only all blooms were like a maple-walnut cupcake.
