2/18 Yummers
Went to eat Yummers 2 the 3rd Power Cupcakes in Parkland -
Yeah, I know that sounds random, but it was worth the drive out there.
We arrived a tad before they opened, so we tromped over to "Luteworld", otherwise known as the Garfield Book Company at PLU - fun, cool stuff you don't really need, but cool nonetheless.
Random note: Explicit music was being played over the store sound system - who knew Lutherans had such potty mouths! I know I was on a college campus, just didn't expect to hear it in the bookstore.
The owner and her cousin were recently featured on Cupcake Wars - they didn't win on the show, but they are winners in real life! We loved every single cupcake we tried. They are a little denser than most, but delicious! We especially loved the Puerto Rican Vacation (not pictured) - It is a Carmelized Balsalmic Sweet Plaintain Cupcake.
I mean seriously listen to this:
Delicious carmelized plantains cooked in a balsalmic brown-sugar, vanilla bean glaze, baked in a sweetcream batter, with a caramel buttercream and topped with balsalmic pearls. Delicious!
Plus, I have a thing for plantains.
The shop itself isn't much to look at and I kind of liked that it wasn't trying to be something that it wasn't. The service, the product and the authenticity were outstanding!
Favorite Cupcake Flavor?
