Checked out Bite Me Bakery the day after Valentine's.  V-Day inspired flavours such as red velvet and strawberry were still on the menu though.  Some cupcakes even had Sweethearts (y'know those candied  hearts with cheesy messages such as "Be Mine" or "XOXO"?) placed on top of them and I thought this was a nice touch.  Although the thought that these were day old cupcakes crossed my mind. 

Although bite sized, the bakery claims that these cupcakes are exploding with flavour.   

But they are nothing more than a variation of common supermarket cupcakes - sloppily piped and super sugary icing as well as dry cake. They taste like they were made with cheap ingredients and perhaps not enough butter. I would not return despite the friendly service (and the complimentary Hershey's kisses).

My fellow foodies turned a Friday into cupcake day.  We ordered 2 dozen regular mini cupcakes from Prairie Girl to go (1 dozen for $20.95).

We got an assortment of golden buttermilk and dark cocoa cupcakes - from Lemon Icing to Strawberry Icing. 

The cake portion of a cupcake was light, fluffy and moist. I was impressed with how delicious it was - not too sweet. I despise cupcakes that are too dense. Well done Prairie Girl!  

I found the icing portion to be a tad too sweet though. 

I love how Prairie Girl features two unique cupcakes every week. One of the featured ones this week was a play on Black Forest cake. It was pretty true to form - chocolate cake, whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Didn't know if the missing maraschino cherry was an oversight or if it was because we got minis.
