Betsy at work gave me a coupon for a free cupcake (with purchase) from the Barnes and Noble cafe, so I ventured to University Village today to check it out. Apparently they are provided by the Cheesecake Factory. I was having a skinny vanilla latte, so I decided to take the all vanilla route and ordered a vanilla cupcake. (The other options were Chocolate Fudge and Red Velvet.)
Maybe my cupcake taste is becoming a little too snooty, but this is another one that I didn’t finish. The butter cream icing was horrible: grainy, overly sweet and with an odd artificial taste. The cake was fairly moist and vanilla-y, but also tasted a bit off. I ate 2 bites probably and left the rest on my plate. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this. Rating: ♥

Do you have any idea of the nutrition facts of that cupcake please? I’ve looked all over the web without success, thats how I ended up here… hunting for nutrition facts
Thanks in advance 🙂

I have no clue about the nutrition. If you are worried about it, I’d probably skip it. In general, cupcakes are delicious, but not all that nutritious. These weren’t worth the time you’d have to spend on the treadmill to work them off.

OMG those are some of my favorite cupcakes the Vanilla ones there. Especially if you heat them for like 5 secs in the Microwave. But I understand to each their own taste.

Maybe they have improved their cupcakes. It’s been 2 years. I think I might be overly picky too…
