Schu-Review : Sweetbites Cookies N Creme Cupcake

Interests, Life


If Wade thinks that DC is behind in ‘Food Trends’ then he wouldn’t believe how behind I am! I have never had a ‘High End Cupcake’. This will only be shocking to him and his ilk. So today when everybody was out waiting in line at the Fojol Brothers Indian food truck I decided the time was right to taste one of these bad boys. So I wandered over to the pink SweetBites Truck. They had about 6 kinds to choose from, I chose Cookies and Creme.

Visual
The little white bag with a pink sticker was nice, it made it feel OK that you just paid $3 for a cupcake…
The cupcake itself was well made. No burnt bits, No frostingless patches, and No muffin topping, which is a good thing for both deserts and women.

Taste
I smelled it first, it smelled like you had added creme to the inside of an Oreo. Then I tasted a little bit of the frosting… awesomenessocity. It was flantabulous, Gargatuantastic, Monumentitude. I have to make up new words to describe how awesome it was. So smooth, so rich, but with a light texture. I mean… it tastes like real ice cream. But no gritty sugar texture, (just fat probably). Then the first bite… the cupcake was chocolate, honestly nothing to make up new words about, but it was a solid chocolate cupcake. It does win points for moistness and for being the right amount of chewy. But the combination of the frosting and the cake was really really… great. No need to make up words for this one. It was seriously, great.

Overall
Do I feel like I got my $3 worth out of this cupcake, yes. Do I need to run back out and buy another one? I’ll see when I wake up out of my sugar coma. I was going to rate this a little down because the cupcake part didn’t raise itself up to the $3 level. But the frosting will give me special dreams for the rest of my life. So… Cake 3.5 out of 5… Frosting 10 out of 5.

Just Bunches and the downfall of society

Life, Rants

I saw this on the shelf at the grocery store the other day and it really got me thinking.  This is what we’ve come to, we only want the sugary good parts. This is no different than seeing a “Lucky Charms” box with “Just Marshmallows”. except that you would know that Lucky Charms didn’t have anything good for you in there in the first place. This cereal is theoretically made of oats.  Which are theoretically good for you.

This could be true all over the world, but I live in America, so I’m going to speak about Americans.  We want all of the fun with none of the consequences.  We want to eat a cereal that has 7 times more fat than one with an almost identical name.  I know people have free will and freedom of choice in America.  But you know my problem with that?  People are idiots and we make bad decisions.  I would like to know the nutrition benefits of this cereal?  over what?  Just spooning refined sugar into your mouth??

At least you’re not booting black tar heroin, have another scoop of Bunches!

I guess they didn’t expect anyone to actually remember their past commercials beyond that sugar induced coma. Take them at their own word

Wade Mixer Mockup

Randomness


Wade Mixer Mockup, originally uploaded by mark5four0.

I’m hoping to get some use out of that airbrush I got a while back. I think I’ll need to practice on a lamp or something before taking on a project with this many details. I really just need to put more time into the prep work because I’m pretty solid with the taping and details.

I’ll post the results when I get some!

Things I’ve done this week

Life, Randomness

Sometimes it feels like I’m not making any progress on all of the projects in my life. That’s because the way I work I like to chip away at the problems slowly. It’s either that or I’m just constantly distracted, but either way I am making progress on some things.

  1. Put together a website redesign proposal
  2. Completed  a prototype for the illuminated white umbrella wedding decoration concept.
  3. Epoxy and JB welded 10 more skull door knocker parts
  4. Got the pictures for my passport application.
  5. Celebrated Laurel’s new Job
  6. Found our Cheers, John’s place, a local bar.
