For the longest time, I've been dying to try out the Cuppacakes by Wondermilk. I've been an avid follower of their progress for years and their story is an inspiration to not just me, but a lot of other cupcake bakers around. Imagine my surprise when my brother told me a while back that he and the proprietors of the cupcake cafe are pretty chummy. So chummy that he even get a staff discount *turns green*
He's nice enough to get me a box when I visited him a couple of weeks ago *shrieks!*
The unboxing of Cuppacakes
From top, left, clock-wise- banana cupcake, blueberry cupcake, peanut-butter & jelly cupcake, rainbow buttercake
The rainbow buttercake. Nice and moist, not too sweet. The vanilla's frosting had this gritty grainy texture which is fine by me (my frosting is always never creamy smooth). 4/5
Peanut butter & jelly. Love the PB, love the jelly, hates the crunchy peanuts. I'm not allergic or averse to peanuts, just don't like the taste of it. 2/5
My favourite pick. Oops, or what's left of it. The blueberry flavour of the cake is surprisingly yummy. The buttercream was smooth and lighter than the average buttercream. 4/5
Nunu took the banana cupcake. Wouldn't even let it go for a shot. The banana cupcake could do with more flavour actually, a bit bland for my liking. And I can taste the bicarb soda in the cake. Sorry, 2/5.
Overall, I give Cuppacakes full marks in design and branding. In terms of taste, an average mark of 3/5. They probably would taste better fresh, rather than a day or two old spent in the fridge. To be able to give a fairer review, I will have to spend all day in their cafe and do nothing but taste each of their cupcakes flavour (and gawk at their pretty designs) :D
Anyhoo, thanks bro for the special treat! Next up, Cupcake Chic (I hope)

hmm i think cupcake chic taste much better. pricey, but worth it. :))
lea, wait up for my review of cupcake chic pulak lepas ni!
Yumm! My hubby pernah dapat a box of the smaller cuppies, for raya. Kecik2 yg sekali ngap je tu. But it's butter cake la so I've never tasted their flavoured cupcakes.
The PB & jelly one looked yummiest..tapi rasa kureng eh?
the butter cake's so-s- to me. the best butter cake i've tasted is my MIL's, so kena smpi her standard ler, hehe.
The PB & J is okay i guess for people who loves crunchy peanuts topping. I just don't like peanuts
best nya dpt staff d/c. i ni duduk depan rumah the proprietor pun (we all grew up together-gether) tapi tak dpt discount. cheh.
err i'm with u there. the cuppies taste like they've spent some time in the fridge. no thanks, i'll stick to my own. ooooo yes so sombong wan..
