Taste: **** | Presentation: ****1/2
There's nothing quite like a tropical treat to warm the senses on a cool winter's day! This week's upside down cupcake is a pineapple cake topped with coconut frosting complete with maraschino cherry and pineapple garnish.
The Panel:
"Fun"! Coconut in frosting and pineapple in cake worked well together but also stood out individually; good flavor combo. Frosting creamy and sweet. Overall comments agreed the cakes were moist, though some were sticky and crumbly. Expectations were certainly captured in presentation. Panel would have like more rum.
Kara: The first bite was like heaven and I couldn't wait to eat the rest! Sweets: "One of my favorite tasting ones so far and normally I don't really like coconut."
Maternity Leave Cupcake Tounge: "Kizmetcupcakes is always expanding my tongue's horizon."
My comments:
While I was pleased with the flavour and presentation results of this cupcake, I was disappointed in the moisture level of the cakes, they were more sticky and dense then light and fluffy. Would have to modify the liquids.
