Uh, 'guest taster'.....

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Ooh, now I want one all over again. I’ve received a few emails suggesting other Minneapolis bakeries. I’m open for suggestions for another Taste-off, and would welcome guest tasters.

Oops, I forgot to mention that it’s an oversized cupcake.

Okay, the Chocolate Ganache Cupcake is fabulous, but too much for one man. I feel like I just ate an entire birthday cake.

i’ve not had many on Alexis’ list, but i had one of those Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes sometime last year and it was insanely good.

Best cupcake I ever had was at Solera last winter. Haven’t seen it on the menu since.

As another connoisseur of cupcakes, I have to second the Franklin Street Bakery recommendation. I ordered a couple dozen for a birthday party one year and they were fantastic. I have never had an FSB cupcake that tasted "off." The ones from Cupcake, on the other hand, seem to be kept on hand for several days and lose any flavor they may have once had. I've never had a fresh cupcake there. I miss the fact that Field's no longer sells FSB cupcakes in their Marketplace Cafe downtown. They have been replaced by the subpar Wuollet cupcakes (and other baked goods).

No, I'm sorry about that. That would have been a great chance to use the italics function to make things clearer.

Opportunity lost.
