Charlotte Cupcakes - Berry's Bakery

It was kind of deceptive. Even though the store was, more or less, sparse, there were several options to choose from: a lemon cupcake, a vanilla cupcake with white frosting, a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting, a vanilla and chocolate cupcake with white and chocolate frosting, a chocolate cupcake with white frosting and a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting.

Get all that?

I went with a lemon cupake and a vanilla/chocolate cupcake. I was going to stop there, even though the cupcakes didn’t cost much, but I was told there was a $5 credit limit.

So, I got another cupcake and a slice of cake. For five dollars, you can get quite a few cupcakes at Berry’s Bakery.




Vanilla/Chocolate Cupcake

I was anxious to try this one because I liked the vanilla/chocolate concept with the white/chocolate frosting.

I didn’t eat it at the store. I took it home and ate it a couple of hours later. By the time I got home, though, the frosting was hard. I’m not sure how fresh the cupcake was, but the frosting was still crusty, even after being in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

The cupcake wasn’t too bad though. It almost tasted like cookie dough. The frosting didn’t go very well with the cupcake. One flavor of frosting probably would have worked better.

The four flavors combined together left my tongue a little confused and my stomach a little upset.

I think it was the sweetness of the vanilla frosting that didn’t sit well with me.



Vanilla with Chocolate Frosting

Although this cupcake was just vanilla (no chocolate-vanilla mixture here), I liked the frosting on this cupcake better.

There was no chocolate-vanilla combo taste with the frosting, so that stopped any awkward flavor combinations like there was with the first one. The chocolate frosting actually had a somewhat atypical taste to it.

There was almost a very sweet caramel-chocolate flavor in it.

The cupcake wasn’t terribly soft, but it wasn’t hard. It's not a bad cupcake. Although it's not amazing, it does stand apart from a lot of the other cupcakes I've eaten, for the frosting's taste alone.



Lemon Cupcake

The lemon cupcake was the best of the three.

It tasted a lot like the lemon-poppyseed muffins I ate as a kid – except without the poppyseed and in cupcake form.

The frosting had a great lemon flavor to it as well, despite being just a smidgen too sweet. Overall, it was good though. It was my favorite of the bunch.

The positives: the mix of the frosting was a different change. It was nice to see someone try that.

The negatives: mixing the frosting was a nice idea, but, in reality, didn't turn out the best.

The cost: they're ultra-cheap at $1.50 a piece, but there's a $5 minimum if you use a credit card.

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 .

13 Body Swap Movies

In honor of Friday the 13th, I figured we'd count down some of the best body switch movies. There's still time left in the day for this to happen to you, so don't wish on any shooting stars, be careful if you're making a birthday wish, don't throw coins (or peeing, for that matter) into any fountains and avoid any kind of voodoo magic men. You may also want to avoid Aztec statues, necklaces and magic dust. Otherwise you may end up like some of the people on this list: 13. The Change-Up Number 13 is the most recent body swap movie. Released in 2011, the movie is about two men who switch bodies after being struck by lightning while peeing into a fountain. The result? They swap bodies. Dave (Jason Bateman) is stuck in Mitch's body. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is stuck in Dave's body. At the beginning of the movie the two are envious of each other's lifestyles. By the end of the movie they've grown as human beings and appreciate where they are...
