That's Noice!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Cupcake Bakery’s new store in The QVB.

The store itself is super cute, I love the decor. They have a great menu that clearly shows you the different cupcake flavours and which is what to make that hard choice a little easier.

The cupcakes look great. A full sized cupcake with lots of icing. The price wasn’t too bad, $3.50 for the basic cakes.

They smelt divine! I wasn’t allowed to eat any till we got home..so had to smell them the whole trip, it was torture I tell you!

Of course I had to taste a little bit of everyone’s. They were all amazing! Best cupcakes I have EVER had. The cakes were fresh and delicious..the icing was amazing, nice and sweet.

Highly recommend a visit, I will have to try out their other locations in the near future.

Lucky me got this t from a great friend for Christmas. It was on my wish list.

Did you love cupcakes before they were cool, I personally like cupcakes just a little warm with cold icing..YUM!

Cupcakes on Pitt, one of Sydney’s best know cupcakeries has recently opened a new store in Parramatta.

The store is located inside Westfield Parramatta on Level 1 near IGA express (near the train station).

The new store is a tad bigger than the City store and looks fab.

I was hoping that things would be a little different to my first experience at Cupcakes on Pitt City store and all the reviews you read, but I was sadly disappointed.

The cupcakes look beautiful as always, so nicely decorated and presented. The packaging is fantastic. I love the boxes, the bags and the cute little cupcake holder.

But the cakes themselves are not what one would expect. A little dry and stale with little flavour. The icing doesn’t have enough flavour or sweetness for me.

The lemon meringue would have to be the one I liked most (and as you can see, I bought 4 of them) They were a little different to the last batch I had, them lemon filling has changed, not as nice as it was. I also didn’t mind the pumpkin, but think this may have been a seasonal flavour?

They have also recently relaunched a new snazzier website Cupcakes Online.

Perhaps they are just meant for a different kind of cupcake connoisseur? Surely there is someone out there who actually enjoys them? Maybe I have just gone on the wrong day? Would love to hear other peoples experiences.

I hadn’t heard about the Pandora/Lovelinks phenomenon until my sister gave me a Lovelinks bracelet for my 30th birthday this year. Turns out I’m a bit behind in this trend of the new-age charm bracelet!

So when I discovered that there was a cupcake Lovelink available – how could I resist?!

The cupcake Lovelink cost $35, so would make a nice gift for that special cupcake person in your life. Personally, I think you should buy it for yourself – because, well, you’re worth it!

While making idle chit-chat with the jeweller, he told me that he’s seen quite a few women buy the diamond ring lovelink “to give their boyfriend the hint that they want to get married”. So I figure I must be wanting to remind myself about the need to make cupcakes!

Lovelinks are available from selected jewellers listed on their web site.

There are also a bunch of other places to buy similar charms – where have you seen them?

A cupcake light switch cover that actually fits Australian switches. Great for a little girls room, or the kitchen.
