Fall Flavors – Cupcake Chic

A few weeks ago Cupcake Chic announced via twitter that they were developing some new cupcake flavors for fall. (See the joys of twitter! You really stay in the know and get the behind-the-scenes scoop with these cupcakeries). 

Anyway…we chatted a bit and before you know it  I was gladly accepting a chance to sample and review their three cupcake flavors for fall. Two flavors are new and one flavor (pumpkin) was no stranger to me! here’s a look inside:

One thing I love about this mother-daughter cupcake business is their really defined look! I love the packaging and love how I can spot a cupcake chic cupcake from a mile away. (see picture below)

Cupcake Chic’s look to their cupcake is always consistent. So here’s what I received. Two pumpkin cupcakes, one caramel apple cupcake and one chocolate orange cupcake.

Let’s start out with my favorite of the bunch. I couldn’t get over how cool this cupcake was and how it screamed fall! When I think of fall and food and baking…my mind automatically flees towards apples. And how many of us have memories of caramel apples.

Well now we can can continue to have them in cupcake form!

The cake itself was true to Cupcake Chic’s dense, moist form yet it was a little more aromatic and with surprises of apple chunks. I was happy the apple chunks weren’t mushy or crunchy…they were perfect.

Now moving onto the caramel apple cupcake frosting. it was almost marshmallowy–i consider it a sister to cupcake chic’s s’mores cupcake frosting! and the icing on the cake, or rather the drizzle on the frosting is a delicious caramel. oh my. it gets a bit sticky but worth it!

Next PUMPKIN!

the pumpkin cupcake was probably the first flavor i tried of cupcake chis last year at this time. i was uber impressed. it’s a lightly spiced pumpkin cake with spiced cream cheese frosting.

i can honestly say i would take this cupcake over a slice of pumpkin pie on thanksgiving.

Doesn’t that frosting look delish! it’s got all the spices of fall! yet still subtle and comforting.

Next up…Chocolate Orange

I love Cupcake Chic’s dark chocolate cake. So i knew that was a winner. But how would it be paired with a zesty orange frosting? I might be the wrong person to ask…because for some reason i sorta have off and on issues with orange zest. But um…I still ate it (well shared it with a cute husband)

Moral of this post: head on out to get Cupcake Chic’s Fall Flavors. If you try one flavor try both pumpkin and caramel apple! (yeah, that’s a joke…i know that’s two flavors.)

And in big news: Cupcake Chic Cupcakes can now be purchased at the BYU Bookstore!
