Flirty Cupcakes

If Mollys is my number 1 cupcake stop, Flirty Cupcakes is definitely a close second. when I first heard about flirty cupcakes, I was in awe. A van that drives around and brings cupcakes to people?? That's basically the adult equivalent of the ice cream truck for children! It was like a dream come true for me. and remember, this is before food trucks became the next big thing and you started seeing them all over the place. I started following them on facebook and waited patiently until the day that they said they would be stopping nearby. and finally, the day arrived. I logged into facebook to see that they would be arriving in about an hour. I waited not so patiently as the minutes ticked by, and i was out the door on my way to meet the van right on time. When I got there, I realized that I guess I should have prepared for a head of time because there was already a long line ahead of me. I ended up being even more disappointed when they called out that they had run of out cupcakes before I even got to the front of the line. It was a sad day for me and i had to wait at least another month before I got another chance at flirty cupcakes. I was more prepared this time, I think I got there as they were pulling up. i was basically jumping for joy while waiting in line behind a mother and daughter, who was also clearly very excited about her cupcakes. When i got to the front of the line, the girl in the van made some comment along the lines of "oh to be young and easily excited again..." I laughed along but truthfully, I was that happy to be getting cupcakes too.  I had already memorized what I was going to get; the curious george, s'more me over. It took some self control but i didn't eat all the cupcakes at once.

s'more me over: this is a chocolate cupcake with a graham cracker crust and frosting that's kind of a mix between frosting and a s'more and topped with a Hershey's chocolate. The cake itself was moist and delicious (not over powering like i think some chocolate cakes can be) and the s'more frosting was light and fluffy. The cupcake is a little messy with the crust but still super delicious. I don't know if i would go so far as to say its better than real s'more though..

the curious george: this is a banana chocolate cupcake with salted buttercream frosting. The cake is perfectly chocolatey and moist with just the smallest hint of banana, but its definitely there. The buttercream frosting tastes slightly more processed than i would prefer but still oh-so-yummy that i really don't care all that much. The saltiness balances out the frosting and chocolate and makes me want to consider sprinkling salt on every cupcake i eat. I have gotten this cupcake time and time again and it never gets old.
