I know I said not until next week but last night we went to the local food market in the city and wandering around before we decided on a coffee. They had a fabulous array of the most gorgeous cup cakes, with amazing frosting and decorations. I couldn't resist, had to have one.
Chose a chocolate cup cake with a mountain of frosting and caramel on top, gooey caramel.
Let me say that the frosting was delicious, but the caramel was something out of a tin I think, flavourless. But worse was to come. The cake was stale, at least a week old if not more. The crumb was actually hard. It was as bad as the canoli I once had that was so stale the tube was soft and the custard would have bounced if I'd dropped it. Why oh why do cafes think this is OK?
