This post is long overdue… Teacake Bake Shop is a little cupcake/cookie joint in Emeryville near my house. For a while there, my GF and I found ourselves going there for cupcakes every time we went to Emeryville. They have daily special flavors and the cupcakes are topped off with this amazingly creamy soft rich sweet icing which is totally to die for.
So on this particular day, we were in Teacake (it was around xmas time) and they had the Chocolate Mint cupcake. This is a seasonal flavor, so you can’t really get it so often. Notice the mountain of icing sprinkled with baby chocolate chips! Most of the icings at Teacake are cream cheese/butter cream… just an fyi = amazing.
I’ve had most if not all of the different flavors of cupcakes at Teacake and I will get around to blogging about all of them. This particular cupcake was good. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. The reason I am not giving it a rave review is because it was kind of dry. I think they bake most of their cupcakes in the morning/early afternoon… and we stopped by on this visit in the evening. The cupcake was not moist anymore… the edges were dry and crumbly and it just didn’t have the sweet moistness that Teacake cupcakes usually have. I’m not going to completely knock it though, as the icing and mini chocolate chips saved the day, and I ended up eating that instead of the cake.
