Lemon Blossom Cupcake

With a memorable flavor like dissolving flower petals, the Lemon Blossom cupcake in Georgetown certainly lives up to it’s name. From the candied lemon slice perched at the tip of a creamy, lemon frosting blanket to the delectable cake within, this dessert left a unique, lingering taste that made me, a chronic chocoholic, want more. Although I expected a more tangy, tart flavor, the light sweetness and perfect balance between the frosting and cake provided a pleasantly simple treat, not an overwhelming, sensory explosion. The elegant design was aesthetically pleasing as well–my favorite touch was the candied lemon slice, which had an unexpectedly sour taste that completed the cupcake. I’m glad I decided to try something new and choose this cupcake, even though the other options had names like “Lava Fudge” and “Salted Caramel”, since it proved to be not only exquisite in appearance and flavor, but also a fresh addition to my evening meal. I could have eaten this confection all day without getting sick of the taste; my only regret is that that I didn’t order more of them to nibble over the course of the day.
