A cupcake is literally a cup sized serving of a cake, topped
with frosting, and portioned just for you! Some people think that it is too
girly, especially those varieties with pink frosting and glitter. Look beyond
its feminine qualities, because there’s that yummy cake that makes it irresistible
to men as well. The yummy frosting and moist cake makes the cupcake universally
appealing.
I have tried different cupcakes here in Manila. Some have
been quite good that I kept coming back for more, while some have been nothing
but eye candy – they didn’t taste quite as good as I imagined it to be. Hrmpf.
You can imagine my delight when I saw (via Facebook) that My Pink Wasabi was making some chocolate cupcakes and Chef Anna will be in the MOA area so she can bring some orders with her. Yes! Chocolate
cupcakes!!! The joy doesn’t stop there… guess what frostings are available?

Nutella … And dark chocolate… happy happy joy joy!!!
The Unboxing
First impression: The cupcake is a bit smaller than its other counterparts. I suggest that you stop looking at
it and start biting. At first bite I was impressed, the cupcake is simply
divine. Moist chocolate cake with just the right amount of sweetness - not
sickeningly sweet. There’s no denying that you are eating a chocolate cake,
there’s this right amount of bitterness from the cocoa melding with the
sweetness of the cake. I was initially doubtful about the frosting. I am a big
fan of cupcake frostings. I would usually eat a cupcake starting with the
frosting before I proceed to the cake part. I was initially disappointed with the amount of frosting the cupcake had. Tentatively I poked the icing and
tasted it. It was a proof that quality is better than quantity! I was soooo happy with it! It felt like Chef Anna melted dark chocolate and used it (without any cheap extenders) as frosting!
Pure bliss! After noting my observations, I chomped on the last half of the cupcake. I was pretty much satisfied with what I ate. I was pretty tempted to get another piece because it was so yummy! But I had to save some for my hubby for later. I didn't get to try the nutella frosted cupcake, but I did give one to my office mate Her reaction is enough to let me know that it was pretty yummy! She was asking me where can she order from My Pink Wasabi. It is pretty addicting I tell you!
I give these cupcakes 2 thumbs up! It's something that I would order again and I would recommend to people. Just one request for My Pink Wasabi... can you guys make red velvet cupcakes? Pretty please? :)
