The Cupcake Addict's Cupcake Collection

So… I am going on a 3 week vacation from gluten starting today.  I had my last bit of gluten filled goodness at Trophy on Monday and it was wonderful!

Strawberry Cheesecake from Trophy

Again, I apologize for the iPhone photo.

I haven’t been to Trophy for a while.  I was happy to see a cupcake flavor available that I had never tried before.   The strawberry cake sat atop a graham cracker crust and was capped with a strawberry cream cheese icing.  (I have seen this before…) The cake didn’t have much strawberry flavor, but it was moist and the crust added a great crunch.  The icing was creamy with a natural sweetness from the strawberries and a bit of tartness from the cream cheese.  The combination was heavenly.  The only aspect of this cupcake that I didn’t enjoy was the heart sprinkles.  While cute, they were a little hard and didn’t add anything to the flavor.

I would go out of my way for one of these cupcakes…assuming that I don’t have to remain gluten free.
