Death by Chocolate Cupcake - $3.95
Can be ordered online (Chocolate Mud Cupcake) (minimum of 6) or purchased individually from the stores.
 "Our decadent death by chocolate cake topped with lashings of chocolate ganache and chocolate curls. Finished with a dusting of icing sugar." babycakes.net.au

Looks very rich. Chocolate scrolls are crisp, but the icing sugar is a bit thick for my liking. Great contrast with icing sugar and chocolate, but could still be on the lighter side. 

Very dense cake, however it seems a little on the dry side for a DBC/Mud cupcake. 
Very rich, very thick frosting, more than makes up for the dryness of the cake. The frosting is as soft as it was on the Raspberry Sundae Cupcake. 

Total Score: 3.5/5

Raspberry Sundae Cupcake - $3.95
Can be ordered online (minimum of 6), or purchased individually from the stores.
"These beautiful cupcakes taste as divine as they look. Lemon berry raspberry cupcake topped with a raspberry sundae frosting and dredged with our homemade pink sparkle sugar. Topped with a pale pink icing star." - babycakes.net.au

Pleasing to look at, very cute design. Very sweet, moist, and dense cupcake. Not as much raspberry as I initially expected. The frosting is soft, almost like a pudding consistency, and very sweet. This is where most of the raspberry flavour comes from. The sparkle sugar adds a much needed crunch. The sugar-star is pleasantly sweet, not overbearing.

Total Score:  4/5




Turkish Delight Mini Mini - $2.25
No description available online. Purchase from stores where available.

Sits neatly in the palm of my hand. I am a Turkish Delight fanatic, so this one is exciting!

Very cute, appears to be very sweet. The chocolate garnish is crisp, and doesn't have the 'fridge' taste that most chocolate aquires. The shell is soft, not crisp, and definately not soggy, and the turkish delight sits in the base of the shell. The dollop of chocolate on the top of the TD has a similar consistency to the frosting of the Raspberry Sundae Cupcake.

Lovely contrast of flavours. The TD is not overbearing, nor is the chocolate. Would have been lovely to have with a coffee.
