Daisy Chain Cupcakes

I sampled these at the Point Village Market on a dreary Saturday. I can confirm that cupcakes do, in fact, make the day brighter!
Staff at the stall were lovely-​really friendly and efficient. There was an array of beautifully decorated cupcakes with flavours including vanilla, chocolate, lemon with lemon curd filling, carrot and pineapple, red velvet, banana. After much deliberation I settled on the classics-​vanilla and chocolate. I had a choice of pink or purple for my vanilla cupcake. I should not be given difficult choices like this! It took a full minute of agonising before I decided on purple because it would match my top. And they say women aren’t logical?!?
Prices are a reasonable/​average € 2.50 per large cupcake.
The cupcakes themselves look beautiful. They’re just like in the photos here-​really cute and decorated with little flowers. Very girlie! The chocolate was very very good-​a light sponge cake (not very chocolately though) with a very good buttercream frosting. The vanilla was a disappointment. It had a really strange taste… kind of like times I’ve accidentally thrown too much vanilla into mixtures and they ended up bitter and with a slight aftertaste. Maybe it was just this particular batch? I’ll have to try more… just to check. The below average vanilla nets them a 4 star rating. Potential for 5 star if my next ones are better :-)
