Cupcake stores have been popular up north and over on the East Coast for quite some time but we have only recently seen the popularity popping up here. They are easy, less messy than a cake, and they are just as tasty.
Cupcake Emporium is hard to miss…or at least is was when I went last week. They may have a sign up now, but don’t be worried if you don’t see one. They are open for business! They have lots of big, yummy cupcakes ready for purchase to eat there or to take to go.
We tried four different cupcakes: pumpkin spice; mint chocolate; double chocolate; and the vanilla cupcake (vanilla cupcake and vanilla icing).
Our verdict? They were all pretty tasty but both the kids loved the icing the best and stuck to digging their fingers into the icing. Our box of cupcakes looked like a little rat had gotten into it and chowed down! I think the double chocolate cupcake was the biggest hit. The chocolate mint cupcake was fabulous and probably my favorite but VERY strong in the mint department. If I were to get chocolate mint again, I would ask for it to be put in a separate box so as not to cover the other cupcakes with its delicious mint flavor!
The cupcakes are around $2.75 a piece. Cupcake Emporium is located in the small shopping strip with Baskin Robbins off of Bayou Blvd. It would be a perfect stop after a long morning of shopping at the mall!
