In recent times, cupcakes have been receiving a whole new level of exposure. By that I mean, stores that specialise in making and decorating cupcakes have been opening up all over the city this past few years. Personally, I think it's predominantly the aesthetic designs that tempt potential customers. Without them, cupcakes would just be presented as sugary flour, egg and milk! On that note, I was recently introduced to a glamourous cupcake store situated in the centre of Surry Hills, named Sparkle Cupcakery. The element of these cakes that sets them apart from the plethora of cupcake stores around the city is the inventive flavours. Yes, these cupcakes don't particularly have much to their presentation but the flavours they offer somewhat strikes curiosity and excitement before the first bite.
When we walked into the store, we were immediately welcomed by an elegant display of all the flavoured cupcakes in an elongated glass cabinent. The rest of the store was consistent with a modern design, glass displays and polished furniture.
My cousin and I purposely made a trip there to indulge in their tea party set, which cost $30 per head. (Pretty expensive, but actually quite filling!)
The party set included (For two people): Personal choice of one cupcake each, six salmon finger sandwiches seasoned with some delicious sauce, two glass cups of gourmet strawberry yogurt jelly, two large strawberries with chocolate fondue, two chocolate macaroons and two delectable glasses of hot chocolate.
Out of the variety of flavours on hand, we selected the 'Green tea and Bubbles' and 'White Chocolate and strawberries' cupcakes as part of our party set. At the first bite, we could taste their subtle flavours and sweet, sweet quality. They were undeniably tasteful and held promising flavour, but it was just a tad too sugary for my liking. On another note, the finger sandwiches were delish! and were my personal favourite out of all that was on the table, closely followed by their rich hot chocolate. The macaroons were deliciously light and chewy (pretty standard) and the strawberry yogurt jelly melted with flavour in our mouths. Writing about it is making me crave another visit!
Food rating: 4/5
