As I ventured to the Ikea Restaurant for some lunch today, I found myself staring at an Ikea cupcake. It was for the small price of $0.99 since it was a pretty small cupcake.
Although I wasn't totally in the mood for a cupcake, I decided I couldn't pass up this one since it was so cheap and small and I had no idea what Elderflower was. After some googling, I now know that Elderflower is of the honeysuckle family and has a floral flavor. It's pretty popular in liqueur form.
How'd it taste? Well, it did taste a bit like generic Asian fruit-flavored candies, or more specific, muscat flavored gummies. Flavor-wise it was subtle and not too bad but the cupcake was pretty oily. This goes into the category of not-a-good-kind-of-moist-cupcake. Oily/greasy=no good. The frosting had a hint of cream cheese and was where the elderflower flavor resided to top the vanilla flavored cupcake.
Ikea cupcake: not so good. Ikea shopping: fun and cheap and just what I needed! I couldn't help but shriek with excitement as I shopped around the store.
