It’s no secret that I have a fondness for cupcakes. Not only do they taste good, but they’re adorably cute as well. Anything that is that small and yet still has decorative flair has my vote.
So yesterday after seeing Iron Man 2 (it was AWESOME, don’t listen to the critics, go see it and make up your own mind) with my friend Kylie, when I felt like a coffee, I suggested we pop up to My Sweetopia on Grey Street at South Bank.
It’s a cute little corner shop with only a few tables and chairs for seating outside and a bench inside, but we manage to score a really nice little table and ordered a coffee and cupcake each.
The staff were really friendly and gave our table a clean almost as soon as we sat down, as the people sitting there had only just left.
I ordered the lamington cupcake, isn’t it cute?
And Kylie ordered the choc mint cupcake:
Also adorable.
The cupcakes were moist, not too sickly sweet and just the right ratio of icing to cake. The sponge cake in my lamington cupcake was soft and fluffy, and really fresh. The choc mint cupcake looked a lot fudgier and denser than mine, and I could smell both the mint and the chocolate clearly.
We both had lattes and I found mine perfect – the right temperature, not at all bitter but good and strong.
If you’re a fan of the cupcake like me, pop in to My Sweetopia next time you’re at South Bank.
