        On our recent Portland trip, we made a stop at JaCiva’s Bakery.  We tried the first of their cupcakes when we stumbled upon them at a Portland grocery store last year.

        We made it to the bakery just seconds before a bus from an assisted living center unloaded into the building, so I didn’t get to spend as much time inside as I would have liked.  It got very crowded very quickly.   They had some amazing looking chocolates I wish I had been able to photograph: a chocolate toothbrush, a big chocolate cupcake that you could fill with cookies, and chocolate tennis rackets.

        There were only 2 cupcakes available: The 7th Heaven cupcake, which we tried before, and a peanut butter chocolate cupcake.

        I apologize to the Hotel Modera for dropping chocolate bits all over the floor when I unpeeled this monstrous cupcake.  It was very similar to the 7th Heaven cupcake: chocolate cake topped with peanut butter mousse then dipped into melted chocolate.   The mousse was wonderful: fluffy and nutty.  The cake was a little dry, but it had a nice texture otherwise.  The cupcake was WAY too big and I grazed on it for the rest of the evening.  The hard chocolate coating was very messy since it came down over the edge of the liner.  (No, I did not get any chocolate on the white comforter on the bed….just all over the floor… and on the bottom of my socks… and on my jeans…)

        I would love to try some chocolates from JaCiva’s.  Hopefully we will have better timing the next time we’re in Portland.
