I had been a follower of Jamie Teo’s blog previously and so when I learnt that she opened a cupcake shop, I was eager to try out her baking skills. But sadly, Novena is hardly an area that I hang out at.
A couple of days ago, I happened to be in the vicinity and decided to grab some cupcakes from Twelve Cupcakes. It was a small store chucked at a corner of United Square, with lovely sweet decor and alluring cupcakes.
As I arrived at 5+pm, there wasn’t much selection left to choose from. I badly wanted a salted caramel and it was sold out. Frankly speaking, I wanted to buy just 1 cupcake and eat it on the spot before committing to the whole box but I thought that would be weird. So, I ended up with 2 Red Velvet, 1 PB Chocolate, 1 Strawberry Chocolate, 1 Strawberry Vanilla and 1 Blueberry Vanilla.
With much expectations, I started off with Red Velvet when I got home. Sadly, it didn’t wow me. I felt that the cake was a little dry and the cream cheese frosting didn’t taste strong enough.
What wooed my heart was the Strawberry Vanilla and PB Chocolate. I guess Peanut Butter and Chocolate can never go wrong. For the Strawberry Vanilla, the white chocolate bits on the strawberry frosting was just marvelous! It melted in my mouth instantly and the luxurious mix of strawberry and white chocolate was perfect with the moist vanilla cake. Yums.
I would still love to try out the other flavours but I’m just not sure when will that be.
