In stating my opinion on this cupcake, I must mention its aesthetic. Because to review this without mentioning its outward experience would be to do it a major disservice. With a light lavender color reminiscent of the color of fairies in fantasy books, this cupcake would not be out of place in a cottage core picnic in the woods. Of course, its taste doesn’t fall far behind. The creamy macaron-like icing combined with a light spongy cake creates a nice balance in its overall taste. Though perhaps not for everyday consumption, this cupcake would definitely make its way into all of my special events.

Rather different from the rest, this cupcake’s unique lime green color caught my eye immediately. However, its special characteristics do not stop there. With the addition of coconut shavings to top off the cupcake, the cupcake sets itself apart from the rest. The icing and cake themselves were a shock of dense, sweet, and dense again. Thankfully, the light smattering of shavings placed gently atop the icing provided a pleasant crunch to the overall softness of the rest of the cupcake. Without it, the icing and cake by themselves may have become a bit too dense and easy to get lost in. It may not be one of my favorites, but I certainly would not deny a chance to eat this cupcake again.
