Italian Almond, Coconut and Pistachio!
Who will come out on top, which tasted the best, and how many call for a round two!?
First up is Italian Almond, a combination of vanilla and cherry cake with cherry-infused frosting, coated in almonds! To be perfectly honest, the Agnes website had to be referenced to figure out it was cherry. Not something we're used to having in a cupcake I guess. The almonds were a good way to tone down the sweetness, something we've found to be a problem with most of their fruit-based cupcakes. But it was definitely a solid flavor. I'll give it a 6 out of 10.
Next we have Coconut, a surprise entry by my mom! This cupcake deserves top honors for looks alone! With a tahitian vanilla (thank you Agnes website!) and coconut-flavored cupcake and caramel icing topped with huge coconut shavings, this cupcake is something new! I really liked what the caramel added to the coconut flavor, but the chunks of coconut were a little much to chew on. Overall it's a 6 out of 10 as well.
Pistachio finishes us off today with it's bright green color and interesting taste. Instead of the regular frosting, this cupcake is topped with a whipped frosting (Agnes' website says it's orange flower. What's orange flower?) and based with a pistachio-flavored cake and rolled in crushed pistachios. To be honest I couldn't taste the pistachio. My sister said it was better than the ginger zing though, and I have to take her word for it! I'd give pistachio a 5 out of 10.
Therefore the winner is..... there's a tie! Well, I did like coconut enough to decide the other coconut flavors were worth sampling, so I will award coconut the title this week! But to be honest, none of these flavors really impressed me. So sad!
Next time I'll review three cupcakes for you all: milk chocolate, red velvet and the Agnes special Halloween cupcake!
Doesn't it look delicious!?
Thanks for reading!
