Tickle Me Pink!
The Cupcakery has a few locations around the Las Vegas Valley. The Cupcakery is one of the most popular gourmet cupcake shops in Las Vegas! Gourmet cupcakes have become a solid trend in the world of fine desserts in recent years.
People like cake! So, let them eat cake! People on the go and visitors of Las Vegas do not really want to purchase a big traditional cake, just to have one portion. A gourmet hand crafted cake that is made by a good pastry chef can be a costly item, but it is the quality that counts. For special occasions, birthdays and weddings, big grand elaborately decorated cakes are a delicious requirement. For someone who is just doing some window shopping or on a lunch break from the office, a big traditional cake is a bit too much for when the sweet tooth cravings arise. That is where cupcakes fit in!
Cupcakes are small enough to be considered to be a single portion of cake. Nearly anything that can be included on a regular size cake can be applied to creating a cupcake. Modern gourmet cupcakes are not made with a standard pre-manufactured cake mix and topped with the old standard lard based vanilla, chocolate or strawberry frosting. Gourmet cupcakes are not like the stale old cheap grocery store cupcakes and school cafeteria cupcakes from days gone by. Gourmet cupcakes are made with a variety of classic and creative cake batters and the toppings are coordinated to match the high quality cake to create an individual cupcake presentation theme.
No matter how decorative and nice that the toppings on a cupcake look, people tend to judge the quality of the cake! The Cupcakery makes gourmet cake batters for each individual style of cupcake. Each cake that the Cupcakery makes for their line up of cupcakes is a work of art in itself! The textures, gravity and flavor of each individual style of cake is masterfully crafted. The cake of a cupcake is what sets gourmet cupcakes apart from standard old style regular cupcakes.
The topping for each miniature cake at the Cupcakery is well coordinated with the cake and it is artistically presented. Just like how there is a different cake batter for each style of gourmet cupcake, there is a different style of gourmet icing or topping to match! Swiss butter creams, chocolate ganache, carrot cake style cream cheese frostings, glacage, peanut butter frostings, sugar free frostings and champagne frostings are just a few of the toppings that you will find on the gourmet cupcakes at the Cupcakery.
The Cupcakery offers a nice variety of cupcake creations that are seasonal and they offer holiday cupcakes. The special occasion cupcakes at the Cupcakery are of very high quality. Some of the special occasion cupcakes look like they should be offered at a royal wedding!
The last time that I wrote a review about the Cupcakery was when I visited their Summerlin location. I sampled a small variety of cupcakes in that gourmet cupcake blog article, and that blog entry became popular with my readers. When a new article about gourmet cupcakes pops up on the internet, gourmet cupcake fans take notice!
On my visit to the Monte Carlo, I had dinner, cocktails, shopped at a cutting edge candy store. Then I had a craving for something sweet. I remembered that the Cupcakery had a location in the Monte Carlo Casino, so I ask a gentleman who was a security officer for directions to the cupcake shop. The security officer pointed the way through the shopping mall area of the casino to where my sweet destination was. I liked the style of the decor of the Monte Carlo Cupcakery location. The Cupcakery in the Monte Carlo Casino had a French street side bakery cafe kind of feel.
Since I had dinner earlier in the evening, I decided to focus on having one good gourmet cupcake for dessert. It was like being a kid in a candy store! The selection was marvelous! Then I saw a sparkly pink glistening cupcake sitting by itself in the display case. My favorite color! I chose my dessert cupcake by the color and the flavor choice of the cupcake was not even on my mind.
The cupcake I chose was named Tickle Me Pink! I sure was tickled pink! The flavors and textures were gentle, luscious and soothing. After a wild happy hour of margaritas and a dinner of spicy enchiladas at Diablo's Cantina, a soothing sweet decadent dessert was what I needed. The Tickle Me Pink cupcake is the Cupcakery's signature cupcake. The Tickle Me Pink is a classic vanilla cake with a hand crafted pink vanilla Swiss buttercream frosting. A tiny lavender flower decoration tops the cupcake off. A classic chocolate cake version of the Tickle Me Pink is available too. The Tickle Me Pink cupcake was perfect for the moment!
I highly recommend the Cupcakery at the Monte Carlo Casino for visitors of Las Vegas and locals alike! The Cupcakery should be a top priority destination for any cupcake fan that is planning to do a Las Vegas gourmet cupcake tour! Las vegas gourmet cupcake tour? Hmmm! Interesting idea! Yum! ... Shawna
