Charlotte Cupcakes – BW Sweets Bakery

This week I made another stop in Cornelius. I’d been to Just Baked and Maddy's Fatty's, but somehow I missed BW Sweets Bakery. The funny thing is: it’s right on Catawba Ave., one of the main streets that goes through the town.

Free parking is available on either side of the street, though crossing the street proved to be difficult because there’s no stoplight nearby.

Thanks to a driver who slowed down for me, I made it across the street after about a minute of waiting for the traffic to break.

It's a small shop inside, but there's a decent selection of cupcakes available. It wasn't hard to choose three different flavors to get.


Cinnamon Roll Cupcake

I’m pretty sure Granny Mac’s forever ruined me with their massive cupcakes. What this Cinnamon Roll cupcake lacked in size, it made up for in flavor though.

I love cinnamon, so the abundance of cinnamon flavor on and in this cupcake made it an exceptional treat for me.

The frosting was probably the only downside. It was crusty. That being said, it tasted good. The frosting stayed on top of the cupcake too. With some cupcakes, the frosting tower that bakers construct ends up toppling over. There was no struggling with the frosting here. It wasn’t going anywhere!

The cupcake didn’t take long to eat, but it was tasty.





Lemon Drop Cupcake

BW Sweets Bakery bakes a good lemon cupcake! There’s a strong lemon flavor in both the cupcake and the frosting. The frosting is sweet, like any good frosting is, but it also has a nice tang to it.

It’s not an overload of sour though. You won't get that 'sour face' when you're eating it.

There’s the right combination of sugar and sour to make a great tasting cupcake.

Just like with the Cinnamon Roll cupcake, the flavors of the frosting and cupcake worked well together.



Pumpkin Cupcake

For the second time in three weeks, I found a pumpkin cupcake.

After the tasty Cinnamon Roll cupcake and the sweet Lemon Cupcake, I was excited to see how the Pumpkin tasted.

Of the three, this one was the least impressive.

It wasn’t bad. I didn’t regret getting it, but it didn’t compare to Granny Mac’s pumpkin cupcake.

There wasn’t a very strong pumpkin flavor in the cupcake. The frosting, while good, was pretty much regular white frosting. I was hoping for cream cheese frosting instead.


The positives: there was a nice selection to choose from and, for the most part, the frosting and cupcakes tasted great

The negatives: the pumpkin cupcake wasn't as good as it could have been

The price: $9.30 (tax included) for three cupcakes? That’s about $3 a cupcake -- kind of pricey for their size.

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...
