We visited Dahlia Bakery today after a wonderful lunch at Dahlia Lounge. They only had 2 different cupcake flavors so deciding was easy! I took one of each!
Malted Cupcake with Chocolate Flake Butter cream: Silky (meringue?) butter cream with flakes of bittersweet chocolate topping a moist dark chocolate cupcake. Neither the cake nor the icing was overly sweet and a definite malted milk flavor to the icing. Very good. Rating: ♥♥ 1/2
Caramel Popcorn Cupcake: This has knocked something off the top 5 list….I’m going to have to ponder for a bit to decide my new favorites. Incredible! The silky icing tasted exactly like caramel-covered popcorn; it was sweet and a bit salty. There was a bit of texture to it which seemed like maybe ground up popcorn. The cupcake itself was a sweet cornmeal cupcake with rich corn flavor. I wish I had bought more than one. Rating: ♥♥♥♥ Update 11/23: Confirmed from Dahlia bakery that there is indeed pureed caramel corn in the frosting. The caramel corn is made in house.

Dahlia Lounge is on my list to review. I drive by it all the time to the Space Needle. I’m still making my way down downtown but I’ll eventually get to it.
Nice blog, by the way. I definitely love Trophy (I see it’s on your favorites list) in Wallingford.
