Utah Loves Cupcakes

A cupcake that is more cake than frosting…

Twenty Five Main Cafe & Cupcake Parlor is one cupcake location in Utah that I don’t give near enough attention to on this blog. Yet, I often find myself craving their vanilla strawberry cupcake on occasion and then proceed to justify a trip down to St. George to satisfy the call.

I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences at Twenty Five Main. I adored the owners and the unique atmosphere they created at Twenty Five, I loved breakfast and lunch…try anything they recommend, but most of all I loved that darn vanilla-strawberry cupcake.

Joey Dye, one of the owners of Twenty Five Main, says that they didn’t try to reinvent wheel with their cupcakes. They stick to classics and just make them good. So you won’t find any crazy, frilly, over-the-top flavors…you’ll just find classics that are done well.

The biggest thing that stood out to me when trying their cupcakes was Twenty Five Main’s approach to frosting. Take a look! There is not a lot of frosting. This is seriously uncommon in the cupcake world. Like really uncommon. And as a frosting-lover I usually turn my back on a cupcake that doesn’t have at least a 2:1 frosting to cupcake ratio. After all, you can’t ever have too much frosting, right?

Wrong.

At least in Twenty Five Main’s case. It just works for them. My honest-to-goodness, first reaction was that this (Vanilla Strawberry) cupcake was just that, really good cake that had been made in muffin tins. For some reason I imagined a seasoned wedding cake maker that had leftover batter and didn’t want to waste it. Maybe that would explain the controlled amount of frosting. Who knows. Their vanilla cake is moist and much lighter than most cupcakes. It had a very delicate flavor. (It must have more egg whites.) The frosting was pure and fresh and used real strawberries.

When your neck of the woods in Utah starts to get cold or you get a hankering to get away for a weekend to St. George, make sure you head over to Twenty Five Main in St. George. I highly recommend the Vanilla-Strawberry, Vanilla-Raspberry or plain Vanilla cupcake. You’ll enjoy it.
