OK, I knew I would be in Bryan College Station for a few days, and I wanted to find a place for cupcakes. I had read about Sweet Memories at some point. When I finally found it on 29th, I was actually disappointed in it's store front. When you walk in, you just don't get that "kid in the candy shop" feeling. The selection was small- only a few cupcakes available in a handful of different flavors.
Today, I decided to try a carrot cupcake, a German Chocolate cupcake, and a petit four.
The carrot cake cupcake was awful. It was dried out and old- I felt like I was eating card board. The icing was quite sweet and light, but tasted like it was made with Crisco. Very disappointing. Next: German Chocolate:
The cake portion was a little more moist, but not overwhelmingly. The icing tasted like it was right out of the can. Although better than the carrot cupcake, the German Chocolate cupcake was still a disappointment.
Since I am crazy for petit fours, I wanted to try one. I chose a vanilla cake petit four.
Wow, I am really batting 0 for 3. The pink frosting was strawberry in flavor- very faint and not very good. The cake inside was OK. Just below the pink icing, there was a lightly whipped sugar frosting. It may have been pretty- pretty disappointing.
In the end, I realized that this bakery has gone by two other names: Sweet Memories and Taste of Heaven. Now known as Cake Junkie. Their slogan is "feed your addiction," but I would feed it some where else.
