Good-bye Cupcake

So, JV and I trekked out to Dupont to visit Hello Cupcake!, a cupcake joint that recently opened. We decided to buy 6 cupcakes and were shocked when it cost $18 and some change. We should have known better since cupcakes have become super trendy and all the rage. From what I have been told, that price isn't as outrageous as it could be. Even so, we were still a bit outraged (because we're cheap and not that rich) and determined that the cupcakes had better be like an orgasm for the tastebuds. Excuse the crass analogy, but it's just so apropos. We bought two chocolate cupcakes with peanutbutter frosting topped with hersheys kisses, a lemon cupcake with raspberry frosting, a dulce delece cupcake, a vegan cupcake, and I think a pumpkin one. They all failed to live up to our expectations with one major exception. The chocolate/peanutbutter cupcake was super tasty, and despite the initial outrage, I would pay $3 or more for that one. That's not to say that the cupcakes weren't good. They were. Just not that good (except the chocolate one).
