Cupcakes Anyone? YES PLEASE!

Patiently waiting...

Many companies are now offering contests based on "liking" their Facebook page, and Saint John Cupcake Salon took this idea one step further.  When I saw a chance to win a dozen delicious gourmet cupcakes, I just couldn't pass up the chance!  And let's be honest... who doesn't "like" a cupcake?  The owner, Jacqueline Schroeter, wanted to know what we the people like the very most about cupcakes, and all I had to do to enter the contest was to say as much on the Discussion board of the company fan page.  So easy!!!

The bad news is that I didn't win a dozen cupcakes.  But the GOOD news is that I won a surprise consolation prize of a half dozen cupcakes, and they couldn't have come at a better time.  It's no secret to those who know me that I eat my feelings, and suffice it to say that there were some feelings that these delectable cupcakes deeply touched.  :)

There were three white cupcakes, and three chocolate, and it was very difficult to share them.  The white cupcake had a beautifully dense texture, like a pound cake but softer and more moist.  They were frosted in a cool two-tone butter-cream that was silky smooth, not too sweet, and had a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that left me pondering what the secret ingredient might be.  The chocolate cupcakes had chocolate chips peaking out of the top and had a surprise filling of CHEESECAKE!  'Nuff said.  They were perfectly chocolaty and sophisticated enough that I didn't feel too guilty while eating them.

This picture took great restraint to get...  so yummy!
