Charlotte Cupcakes: Two On Earth Bakery


After spending a few weeks north of Charlotte, I decided to go south this week: to Pineville.

I went to Two On Earth Bakery & Cafe. It's on Main Street in Pineville. There are only one or two parking spots in front of the store, but thankfully there's an entire lot of free parking right across the street by the Pineville Town Hall.

The shop had some seating inside, so if you wanted to cozy it up for the afternoon with a good book in Pineville, this would probably be a good place to go.

Two On Earth is a bakery, not a cupcake shop, so the cupcake selection wasn't massive. One of them had coconut on it, so I immediately passed on that one. That left just a couple of choices.


Red Velvet

Even in the most basic bakeries, there's usually a Red Velvet option. That was the case at Two On Earth. Since I've been doing these reviews I've found that Red Velvet cupcakes are either very tasty or very bland. Two On Earth's version was pretty good.


The frosting was light and fluffy without being too much like air. The cupcake was good as well. The cupcake wasn't a five-star spectacular, but it didn't disappoint. The flavors worked with each other, instead of competing against each other. That's the other observation I've made about Red Velvet cupcakes. It can be really hard to pair the frosting (typically cream cheese) and the flavor of the cupcake. Two On Earth made it work though. The flavors combined to make a respectable Red Velvet treat.


Caramel Macchiato

Even though Two On Earth only had a few cupcakes to choose from, one of them wasn't an entirely standard flavor: Caramel Macchiato. It tasted extremely delicious. If you like cappuccinoor coffee of any kind, you'll probably like the Caramel Macchiato cupcake at Two On Earth. I never drink coffee and I have Cinnamon Roll or cappuccino maybe once a year, but even I liked it.

The chocolate flavor of the cupcake wasn't top notch, but it was good. The cupcake was moist, but still solid. Unlike some other cupcakes, this one didn't crumble into pieces the moment I cut into it with a fork. If the chocolate had tasted better, it would have sent the cupcake over the edge into the five-star range.


The positives: the frosting on both cupcakes was great. Both cupcakes were moist and flavorful. They worked well with the frosting and the proportions were great as well. With each bite there was some frosting to go with the cupcake.

The negatives: the taste of both cupcakes were just a little bit lacking. Not bad, by any means, but it wasn't the best cupcake I've ever had.

Cost: $2.50 is a reasonable price for the regular-sized cupcakes at Two On Earth. The larger sizes and miniatures are $3.25 and $1.25

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...
