Mr Shuck surprised me with a cupcake today and supported the pups at the same time. Yellow Leaf’s Charity Cupcake for January and February is Chocolate Caramel Cashew and $1 of each sale goes to the Seattle Humane Society.

My thoughts: The cake was much drier than usual for Yellow Leaf. The chocolate layer was adequate, but the flavor in the other layer was indiscernible. The icing was just as generic. The little chocolate covered cashew on top was the highlight of the cake: sweet and salty and crunchy. My rating: ♥♥ 1/2. I’d buy it again if at Yellow Leaf, but only because part of the price goes to the Humane Society. It was miles above their previous “charity cupcakes”.
