Mint Mojito cupcake

Mint Mojito

 

Heidi saw the mint leaf and knew that she had to try it. And then she found out what it was and knew it was a moral imperative. As with my cupcake, her expectations fell drearily short of reality. Darn.

 

The cake was a subtle mix of vanilla and some citrus, we're guessing lime as the obvious choice. The frosting, however, was another story entirely. It was a vibrant mix of lime and mint that came on strong without being too sweet. Heidi complains that one Cupcake Royale cake is enough to make her teeth start hurting. Not so with Grand Central.

 

But it's when you ate both together that the concoction truly soared. One minute subtle, the next sledgehammer strong all of it culminating into an amazingly fascinating sensation of flavor and texture, again, without ever being sticky sweet, although it did leave us both burping and hiccuping mint throughout the rest of the afternoon.

 

But worth it. Oh so very worth it. And at $2.25 each, a steal!

 

Seattlites, get moving. If you're in the area, it's worth the trip and there are plenty of locations to choose from.
