        So, today I visited Coffee To a Tea’s Sugar Rush Bakery to give the neighborhood folks a chance.  (Actually, all other cupcake places were a bit out of the way going home.   I should have grabbed the steering wheel from Mr Shuck and turned sharply to the right towards Yellow Leaf when I had the chance.    Oh, well.  I just looked and the flavors today were Spumoni, Pistachio, and Lavender Lemonade.  I would have liked to have tasted the last one….)

        Today’s sampling from Sugar Rush:

        Sir Turtle: Chocolate cake with ganache frosting with caramel and pecans.  There was a tiny amount of ganache filling inside very dry chocolate cake.  The icing was a glimmer of a bright spot: like a tiny taste of truffle.  It wasn’t enough shine to bring this cupcake up to “good” though.  I only ate half of it.

        Cafe Au Lait:  vanilla cake with espresso buttercream.  I don’t know what made me try anything from Sugar Rush with vanilla cake.  The cake was dry and reminded me of grocery store birthday cake.  The buttercream had a nice subtle coffee flavor, but was a mite grainy.

        Oh…and I don’t think they were spectacularly beautiful either.
