Charlotte Cupcakes - Cloud 9 Confections

In addition to Novel Sweets, you can find Cloud 9 Confections at 7th Street Market.

It seems they have more of a permanent set up that Novel Sweets does. While Novel has a stand that is set up each day in the middle aisle, Cloud 9 has a spot along the wall, complete with a display case and kitchen.

I’d stumbled upon their website a while ago, but it seemed they only worked weddings and other large-scale events.



Raspberry Cupcake

This was the first one I tried. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like it, so I figured I’d get the question mark out of the way. Turns out it was my favorite of the bunch! The thing that stands out about this cupcake, at first bite, is the raspberry filling inside. It’s like the filling you’d find inside a jelly-filled donut.

It was delicious and, best of all, there were no raspberry bits. I like the raspberry flavor, but I hate bits and chunks of fruit, whether it’s in muffins, milkshakes or cupcakes.

It was a tasty cupcake even without the filling. There was a solid vanilla flavor. The frosting was whipped – not amazing, but not bad. The story of this cupcake was the awesome raspberry filling.



Sea Salt Caramel Cupcake

This one was a chocolate cupcake with whipped topping and some caramel lines? On top.

For whatever reason it kind of looks like a hot mess in the photo to the left. It was about the same when it comes to taste.

It was very different. The taste buds are immediately triggered with a very salty flavor. Then comes the chocolate flavor, finished off by a relatively flavorless topping.

There was a filling inside this cupcake as well. I’m not quite sure what it was, but I’m pretty sure the sea salt was contained in that filling. It was a light brown color, similar to the frosting.

The chocolate wasn’t gooey, but the flavor was definitely strong.

I think I liked the cupcake. It wasn’t an all-time favorite, but I’d try it again. It definitely stands out amongst all of the cupcakes I’ve tried, so that says something.



Vanilla-Chocolate Cupcake

The last cupcake I chose was a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. I’d assumed it would be a safe cupcake to end on.

Turns out it was my least favorite cupcake. It was kind of like cornbread with chocolate frosting.

This one wasn’t as moist as the other two. It tasted kind of like cornbread actually. It wasn’t bad, but there was no real flavor to make it stand out. Same goes for the frosting.

The white candy beads on top didn’t add much to the cupcake, so they weren’t needed, but they do make the cupcake look classy.



The positives: the raspberry filling! Oh my gosh. If all raspberry filling was that good, I’d start requesting it in a lot more baked goods that I buy.

The negatives: the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting -- not moist and not flavorful

The cost: $2.50 for the regular cupcakes and $2.79 for the cupcakes with filling

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...
