Ever had that 'so wrong, yet so right' thought?
Loading up the car after work we journeyed north with the intention of spending a weekend catching up with mates and family. We had a day to spare so my brother recommended that we should visit a little cafe around the corner. A 'vintage cupcake' place apparently known for it's award winning fare. We decided to try it out and I found myself experiencing what I can only describe as a grown up version of what a child must feel in a sweet shop. Peanut butter cupcake. Sounds simple enough, and indeed it was, but half way through I found it to be more than enough yet begging to be finished. There were others too. Those sampled included Double Chocolate, Eaton Mess and Toffee Apple Doughnut. This was accompanied with tea and coffee all served up in mismatching china. Not exactly the 'it will bounce when dropped' crockery I'm used to but we tried to blend in, pointing little fingers and all. And here's the confession...it was good coffee. The cupcakes were like no other. The decor was simultaneously chintzy and risqué. I'm already wondering when I can go back.
