what was your favorite cupcake at the cupcake cupboard?

[medfordgirl]

I would love to see a picture of the apron you get when you take the decorating class. Does anyone have one?

Hubby loves plain vanilla cupcakes so I am pre ordering four to be in our cabin when we board. And I will have my sparkling wine.

Btw, what flavor is red velvet? We don't have them in Australia.

My favorite was the coconut. So delicious and so rich and moist.

I had a red velvet cupcake on Allure last week, it was just ok, I let it warm up for few hours too, I guess I was expecting a "crumbs" style cupcake, but if I didnt try one

I would of been wondering how good they were or were not.

YUMMMMMM. I'm a red velvet guy

I've never understood what's so great about Red Velvet. Isn't it just basically vanilla, with a gallon of red food coloring? I've always thought Red Velvet cake wasn't good for you, because of all the food coloring. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a special flavor to them? :)

Does Navigator of the seas have the cupcake cupboard? I feel like Homer Simpson.......Mmmm Cupcakes..............Mmmm dough nuts.

When I was on the Oasis, we had a cupcake that was like peanut butter/chocolate...it was to die for!!! The classes are a blast, we've already booked one on the Allure in Dec.

I have never actually eaten a Red Velvet cake but I am very sure it's chocolate not vanilla. All the red food dye has always put me off also.

You both are correct. It has both chocolate and vanilla in it.

From wikipedia:"A red velvet cake is a cake with a dark red, bright red or red-brown color. It is usually prepared as a layer cake with either a vanilla or chocolate flavor, topped with a creamy white icing. The reddish-brown color of the cake originally was from a reaction of the cocoa powder with an acidic ingredient such as buttermilk, however red food coloring is often added especially if the cake does not contain chocolate".

I had never heard of it until we lived in Nashville. Duncan Hines sells a Moist Deluxe Red Velvet cake mix and it's so easy to make from a box! I made my Mom a heart-shaped red velvet cake for her 80th birthday party and she loved it. Apparently it contains Red 40, but I can't imagine having it once or twice a year would be deadly.

The earliest red velvets were colored with beet juice, but pretty much now it's just red food coloring.

I don't understand why everyone goes crazy for this flavor, either. There are MUCH tastier options out there. :confused: However, my very southern mother-in-law seems to love it.

I think it's a southern thing. We had never heard of it until we moved down to Florida (used to be in Minnesota).

I did see that beet root powder can be used as a substitute for food coloring. :)

I'qve been reading that the cupcakes aren't very good. I'l try one to see if it's worth all the calories..I'm a big dessert person..just lve sweets, but I make sure they're really worth the extra money and calories..Just my opinion:rolleyes:

[seastar2]

I thought they were pretty good. You can also get a mini and try that before graduating to the larger size.

Loved the plain vanilla cupcakes on both the oasis and allure! Had one or two every day!


Going on liberty in dec and I'm so sad they don't have a cupcake cupboard!!!!!!!!!
