Honey of a Handcake

I have yet to catch the Honey of a Handcake truck roaming around town. And was immensely surprised to see their little kiosk peek out as I rode the escalator at Southpoint up to the second floor. They’ve landed themselves prime foot traffic between Swarovski and the food court, and at 5pm, were cleaned out of all but a dozen cupcakes. I was sad to miss out on some of the more exciting flavors like Banana Split! All they had left were the Black and White, Red Velvet, and Double Fudge.
I got one each of the latter two. The guy working the kiosk — husband of the baker — was very nice. He told me they’d mostly retired the food truck part of the business. And they may be opening a kiosk in Northgate (where they operated at one point before).
Yes, please bring your cupcakes closer to me! They were good. Not the best I’ve had in the area, but definitely good, and with a homespun sweetness to them… no towering mounds of icing, perfectly molded, they are charmingly homemade-​looking, and some even have a dash of sprinkles. The double fudge with ganache was my favorite. The red velvet… was the icing buttercream and not cream cheese? I found it overly sweet, and not quite what I expected. At just $ 2.75 apiece, though, the price is definitely right; and they get a thumbs up from me!
