The final bakery was Frostings Etc, located in the SoHo neighborhood of Tampa. There was a good variety of cupcakes available today, even some adorned with bolts to show some Lightning pride (as a Chicagoan, I cannot condone such decorations). Jeffrey came along for the last trip and he settled on the 24 karat kake, while I opted for the champagne pear bellini cupcake. Cupcakes range from $3.25-$3.75.
Jeffrey and I realized that most of our cupcake adventures together have resulted in mediocre to bad results and today was no different. His carrot cake cupcake was the most savory cupcake I have sampled, and this is not a compliment. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this cupcake did not have enough sugar in it to be called a cupcake or even a muffin. And the frosting on top his cupcake was quite sour and barely sweet.
And to cleanse our palates, Jeffrey got a simple vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting from Wright's Gourmet House. It was unfussy but also quite delicious. Thank you, Wright's for saving the day!
So here my cupcaking in the Tampa Bay area has come to a close. My fifth city complete, as chronicled here on the interwebs. A roundup will soon follow.
