The Cupcake Addict's Cupcake Collection

Today Mr Shuck and I ventured over to The Bravern in Bellevue and stopped by Trophy.  The available flavors for today were:  Carrot Walnut, Lemon, Triple Coconut, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.   Since I love Nutella®, I picked Chocolate Hazelnut.   This was a typical Trophy cupcake.  The cake was of adequate quality with a moist texture and a moderate chocolate taste that was neither overpowering nor particularly inspired.  The addition of crushed hazelnut gave this cupcake an added crunch that made it more agreeable to my palette than it probably would have been otherwise.  The icing was very sweet, as is the case with most cupcakes from Trophy, but here the sweetness was nicely tempered by the aforementioned inclusion of Nutella®.  Rating: ♥♥♥ .
