This past weekend took place in the artsy town of
Berea, Kentucky for my friend Xiaodi's wedding. It was filled with lots of love, friends, bourbon balls, cupcakes, dancing and a new card game:
booray. Congrats Xiaodi + Conrad!
And the trip also included a visit to another bakery on
The Daily Meal's Top Cupcake Bakeries. Located just north of Berea in Lexington,
BabyCakes Cupcakes was ranked #54 on The Daily Meal's 2014 list. As a special treat for the bride and fellow bridesmaids, I bought a half dozen cupcakes for us to sample. Each cupcake is $2.00.
I only took a few bites of the
strawberry cupcake but those few were more than enough. The cupcake was unevely baked: the bottom was fairly dry while the middle of the cupcake was fluffy and moist. The flavor was reminiscent of
crunch berries cereal, which made it artificially fruity. It was a tad too sweet and was also very mediocre. I only wish I could have shared some stellar treats to celebrate the wonderful weekend but luckily for us, the reception had some delicious cupcakes to make up for the BabyCakes, tenfold.
