Delicious

After reading Boo's post on Delicious' current cupcake promo, we scrambled to Marc Residence to taste these sweet treats inspired by New York City's Magnolia Bakery.

Red Velvet with cream cheese & raspberry swirl, in front of the Crazy Carrot with cream cheese. These confections have the look of Magnolia's signature creations almost perfectly right, offering a nice visual change from the usual choices at Bisou, Cupcake Chic and Cuppacakes.

After Eight Chocolate with mint frosting & Classic Vanilla with strawberry frosting. Each of the cupcakes is hefty, justifying the RM6.90 price tag.

Chunky Apple with butterscotch frosting & Bananarama with white choc frosting. Not sure whether we love them; the cupcakes are dense but most of them could be more moist, while some of the toppings are too artificial-tasting.

Devil Dare with 7-minute icing & another Red Velvet.

A side order of onion rings for some savoriness to counter all that sugar.

Returned to Delicious a few days later, but at Bangsar Village this time, to check out their ice cream, including the bubble gum and haw flakes flavours .

Mascarpone & figs, Earl Grey and Horlicks flavours. Could have been creamier.

Original Margarita (tequila, triple sec, fresh lime) & Cocolicious Martini (bailey's, espresso, vanilla ice cream, coffee beans).

Milky cocktails: Dude & the Duchess (bailey's, kahlua, tia maria, chocolate syrup), with Kisses & Misses (bailey's, frangelico).
