Last Sunday, I spent my afternoon hanging out with my friends talking about our potential "business". We started our meeting at a fast food corner at Valero St. where Tom and I had breakfast while waiting for them. For some weird reason, the branch closed at 12 noon which forced us to continue our so-called "brainstorming" at another nearby fast food chain. A lot of things were discussed this time that we have almost exhausted our glucose reserves and searching for different desserts online made us crave for some cupcakes. We then decided to transfer at Cupcakes by Sonja's (BTW, in case you don't know it yet, Sonja is not pronounced as Sonia's, based on one blog that I've read. It is pronounced as son-dja. Read more on that on this blog (http://dessertcomesfirst.com/archives/594/).
It was not my first time to have a bite of Sonja's cupcakes but it was only this time that I appreciated it more (probably because I had it on take-out during the first instance and had to eat it inside the car that I wasn't really able to focus on it). I had three flavors: Lemon Drop, PB&J Chocolate Overload. And I must say, they're all very delectable! The cake is soft and yummy - not dry nor too moist and it is very flavorful. The frosting on top is as good as its bottom, too. It is also rich in flavor, and with just the right amount of "kick" to make you smile on your first bite. Being the sweet tooth that I am, I do not really find the icing/frosting 'overly sweet', as opposed to what most people say about their icing. For me it's the perfect level of sweetness that lasts in your mouth hours after your last bite leaving your saccharine craving satisfied, and also makes you want to have more of it in the days to come.
The staff are also pleasant and hygienic, too. They have this so-called 'mask' made of clear fiber glass (or something like that) placed on their jaw that covers their mouth when taking the cupcake out of the fridge or when they serve it to you at the counter. I believe this is to prevent their saliva from showering on the cupcake in cakes they need to talk, assuring you that what they are serving are guaranteed fresh and clean. And to top it off, they will hand your cupcakes leaving you with the words "Have a sweet time!"
It's been four days since my "sweet time" at Cupcakes and now I'm craving for one (the lime one, specifically). I pray that someone would be kind and generous enough to satisfy my craving and make me happy :)
P.S. Sorry I wasn't able to take pictures! I'll do it next time :)
Cheers!
