Charlotte Cupcakes - Tizzerts


After a somewhat disappointing stop at Suarez Bakery last week, I gave Tizzerts a try this week. The two bakeries share a home at the Park Road Shopping Center.



The display case was filled with delicious looking cupcakes.

I bought three different cupcakes from Tizzerts.

Strawberry Swizzle
This one looked appealing. With pink white-chocolate shavings sprinkled on top of the pink frosting, it looks like a designer cupcake.

It's a chocolate cupcake that's filled with strawberry pastry cream. The cupcake wasn't bad. It wasn't extremely moist, but it was soft and tasty.

The frosting had a little bit of flavor to it, but what I particularly noticed is that it was the most silky smooth, creamy frosting I've ever had.

If Cool Whip got together with butter and a little bit of pink food coloring, the Strawberry Swizzle frosting at Tizzerts would be the result.


Salted Caramel Cupcake
The cupcake was really, really savory. It was so good you could probably eat it without any frosting. That’s a good thing in this case because the frosting had zero flavor. It was just a whipped-type of topping with some caramel drizzle on top. The caramel on top of the frosting is where any good flavors came from.

The yellow cupcake is filled with salted caramel pastry cream, but you don't notice it too much. It's not offensive and it blends in well.


Hot Chocolate Cupcake
Who wouldn't want to try this one? The name alone makes it sound amazing! To be honest, it looked really amazing in the display case as well.

It's a devils food chocolate cupcake, filled with pastry cream, and topped with vanilla buttercream and mini marshmallows. Adding to it even more is the chocolate ganache drizzle.

In a way it was the best of the bunch -- simply because it all meshed together the best. The frosting still wasn't as flavorful as I would have preferred, but the chocolate and the drizzle and the marshmallows kind of made up for it.


The positives: they look amazing. The add-ons not only help in decoration, but also with the taste.

The negatives: the flavor that could have put it over the edge into an 'awesome' category was missing.

Cost: they're not as cheap as Suarez Bakery. They're $2.75 a piece. However, they're still cheaper than a lot of $3 cupcakes you find in Charlotte.

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 3

Part 1 and Part 2 were good, but I think there's some definite look-a-likes this time around. I'll get right to the comparisons, but let me know what you think? Am I spot on or what? I saved the very best (and closest comparison) for last this time, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left: Edge On the right: Jamie Campbell Bower May as well start with a wrestling-related one. It seems those pro wrestlers have doppelgängers all over. I'd mentioned before that Wilson Bethel resembles Edge . I still stand by that statement. However, I think Jamie Campbell Bower looks even more like Edge. Jamie Bower, for those who are unaware like I was, is an actor who has quite an impressive resume already. I just watched The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (review to come later) and that's the first time I saw him...or so I thought. Jamie was in the final three Twilight movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 , and t...

Choosing a side on DVD menu's -- what's the point?

Most DVDs go to a menu screen after you’re done hearing about ‘the cloud,’ how cigarettes can kill you and seeing a preview for the latest animated film. Some, however, give you an option. ‘Pick a side,’ they say. I’ve run into this twice recently – with the G.I. Joe DVD and The Break-Up DVD . At first I thought it was a cool concept. Maybe, if you pick Cobra’s side, there’s an alternate ending? Or maybe some special features --- like an in-depth look at Storm Shadow’s sword training. If you pick the side of the Joe’s, maybe there’s a look at their stunt training. No, no, and no. I went with Cobra and it takes you to the exact same screen, with the exact same features, as it does when you pick G.I. Joe. Same thing with The Break-Up .

R.I.P. to the Apple Grande

I got some sad news recently: Taco John's discontinued their deliciously underrated treat: the apple grande. For me, this is worse than the Twinkie ordeal earlier this year. I grew up eating these whenever my family went to Taco John's. You didn't even need to get a taco. A Pepsi, potato oles and an apple grande was a delicious meal by itself. The apple grande was not one of those treats that you'd often hear people talking about. There are probably quite a few people out there who never even got to experience the taste bud happiness that the apple grande provided. It was an amazing, crispy flour tortilla that was coated in cinnamon and sugar and topped with warm apple filling, cheddar cheese and crushed cinnamon candy. I was told by one of the Taco John's locations that they no longer served the apple grande and that it was a nationwide change. I don't know if that's the case or not. The item is still listed on the Taco John's website...
