Mmmm! Cupcakes are one of my very favorite treats … probably only second to creme brulee. However, as I don’t own a blowtorch (and my husband seems very hesitant to get me one) nor do I have much patience for making custard, cupcakes are a more frequently enjoyed treat around here because they’re fun to bake, and I don’t require a blowtorch to apply the finishing touches on a cupcake.
This really does taste a whole lot like a strawberry chocolate cupcake. The strawberry comes through at the start, tasting fresh and authentic and sweet with just a hint of tartness that comes through at the finish, and lingering on into the aftertaste. After the first couple of sips, the chocolate begins to emerge and after a few more sips, the chocolate is just as strong as the strawberry. I even taste a creaminess to this (frosting!) and a bake-y, cake-y kind of taste.
So very yummy, this is a great way to enjoy the goodness of cupcakes for breakfast without the guilt of eating an actual cupcake.

When I once showed interest in a kitchen blowtorch at World Market, my boyfriend told me I could just use the one in his garage. I want creme brûlée not a kitchen on fire!

I want one of those blow torches too! LOVE creme brulee! This sounds so yummy!
I’m not a fan of crème brûlée, but I still want the tiny blowtorch. [shifty eyes] What, no, I’m not a pyro, why do you ask…? =]
