Charlotte Cupcakes - Earth Fare

Earth Fare, in addition to being a grocery store, has its very own bakery, complete with a selection of cupcakes.

Earth Fare is known as the healthier grocery store. I don’t know if that applies to their cupcakes, but I’m assuming it does. The entire list of ingredients is listed underneath the name card that’s on display.

There were four different cupcake flavors available – chocolate, vanilla, red velvet and carrot. I passed on the chocolate and went with the other three.


Carrot Cupcake

I’m generally not a fan of fruit bits and chunks, but the cupcake looked so good that I decided to take the chance.

The cupcake was moist, with a good taste. The frosting was really creamy.

The orange sprinkles on top added an extra element to the cupcake.

I could have done without the carrot chunks. There were a lot of them in there.

The taste, however, made up for it.

Shockingly, I'd have to say I'd order it again. If they could just blend up those ingredients a little more, they'd get the a great tasting cupcake without chunky carrot bits. That'd make me a happy cupcake eater.


Vanilla Cupcake

I tried the vanilla cupcake next and I was sorely disappointed. It was not nearly as moist as the carrot cupcake. In fact, this cupcake was pretty crumbly.

It didn’t help that there was not enough frosting on this one, which left a lot of dry, crumbly cupcake to eat.

Then again, the frosting wasn’t very good, so maybe it’s a good thing there wasn’t much of it. There was some kind of oddball taste to it – kind of like sugary mayonnaise.

Whatever it was, it’s not what I like in my vanilla frosting.

Even though the cupcake wasn't nearly as moist as the carrot cupcake, the cupcake tasted better than the frosting.


Red Velvet Cupcake

I figured the red velvet would make up for the vanilla cupcake, so long as the frosting wasn’t the same as on the vanilla cupcake. It wasn’t, thankfully. It was cream cheese frosting instead.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough of the cream cheese frosting to go with the cupcake. The red velvet was actually the least moist of the bunch too.

There was almost a burnt taste to the cupcake, but it somehow helped out the taste of the cupcake.

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...
