Charlotte Cupcakes - Sweet Lorraine's Bakery

This Sunday I tried Sweet Lorraine’s cupcakes. Sweet Lorraine's is a cupcake shop on East Blvd. in Charlotte.

First things first though. Don't judge the cupcakes by their somewhat sloppy appearance!

They looked much nicer before spending three hours sitting in my car on a 90 degree day. For what they went through, they held up pretty well actually.




German Chocolate Cupcake

This was a delicious chocolate cupcake with equally delicious frosting!

I don’t normally like coconut or nuts on my cupcakes, but I ventured out of my cupcake comfort zone and ate it anyway.

It was a very good cupcake. The great frosting and chocolate flavor of the cupcake made up for the unnecessary toppings.

The coconut didn't taste bad, but I'm just not a fan.

I don't think I ever will be.

I left a good portion of the coconut on my plate and then ate the rest of the cupcake.



Red Velvet Cupcake

The cream cheese frosting was amazing! It reminded me of the kind my mom used to make.

The frosting started off with a strong cream cheese flavor, but ended on a sweet note with a sugary taste.

The cupcake was moist and the melted frosting actually added nicely to it.

There are good red velvet cupcakes and bad ones. The good ones combine the red velvet cake flavor with a great cream cheese taste. This cupcake was a good one.

The chocolate chips on the top were nice touch that added a nice, chocolatey flavor to the mix.



The Elvis Cupcake

Combining a few of Elvis' favorite flavors, 'The Elvis' is a banana-flavored cupcake with chocolate inside and a banana chip on top.

Just like the German Chocolate Cupcake, The Elvis had a very rich chocolate taste, thanks to the chocolate filling.

At first I didn’t like the banana flavor. It was almost too much. I’m kind of picky when it comes to bananas. I like the actual fruit. I like most versions of banana bread. Cupcakes and muffins, however, is usually where I draw the line.

After the chocolate frosting and the peanut butter center came into play, however, the cupcake got better.

I kind of want to go get a few banana chips



Sweet Lorraine's Bakery
220 East Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28203
Phone: 704-332-5222


The positives: all three cupcakes were flavorful, but the cream cheese frosting on the Red Velvet Cupcake won me over

The negatives: some cupcakes just don't need extra toppings. The German Chocolate Cupcake was definitely one of them.

The cost: these cupcakes were all under $3

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 4

Another exciting edition of celebrity look-a-likes -- part 4 to be exact. On the left: Wes Scantlin On the right: Edge Edge was in the first two blogs about celebrity look-a-likes, so why not another time? Evidently I think this guy looks like just about everyone on Earth. I previously compared him to Jamie Campbell Bower and Wilson Bethel, but this time I think I got it right: he's the spitting image of Puddle of Mudd member Wes Scantlin! These days Edge doesn't have the shaggy hair , but when he was in his "Rated R Superstar" run in the WWE in 2006, he definitely could've passed for Scantlin. The big, square jaw and toothy grin? Yep -- they must be some kind of family. On the left: Kelly Kelly On the right: Amber Heard From a former WWE superstar to a former WWE Diva. When I heard that Johnny Depp got engaged to Amber Heard, I typed my way over to Google and found a photo. I was looking at Amber Heard, but could've sworn it was K...

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...

Casting black actors in white comic book roles

Something that's been happening in recent years is casting black actors in the roles of comic book characters who were typically white. Of course, it's something that goes back to timing and culture and society. When comic books were published several decades ago, it was during a time when race was still a very sensitive subject. Race may be a sensitive topic these days too, but in the 1940's and 1950's, black people still didn't have the rights they do today. I wasn't alive at the time, but I'd imagine it was even more tense than in today's current climate. It creates an interesting dilemma for Marvel and DC movie and TV-makers.  Do they change the race of beloved characters? Do they create new superheroes who are black (and Asian and LGBT, etc, etc?) to satisfy their diverse readers?  Do they elevate their lesser-known black characters to more prominent roles (like Luke Cage and Black Panther)?  Or do they stick to the original portrayal...
