Cupcakes from Butter Lane (From left to right) Vanilla w/french vanilla buttercream, banana w/cream cheese buttercream, and chocolate with french chocolate buttercream
Butter Lane, the better cupcake, was suggested to me by a friend of mine. She said that I MUST try her favorite flavor, the banana cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Since I was in the area for dinner, I headed down to 7th Street to try Butter Lane. Called the “better cupcake” because of using pure and organic ingredients, Butter Lane thinks itself as “cupcakes for grownups.” The little shop is adorable and I enjoyed seeing my cupcakes being frosted as ordered! Another sensational surprise was the frosting tasting at the counter. Coffee stirrers are set out by the tray of “frostings of the day” so you are able to taste test what flavor you may enjoy most. What a thoughtful idea for those frosting lovers, like myself, who choose a cupcake based on the frosting! The cream cheese flavor was my favorite so I did not hesitate to order what had been recommended to me. The banana cake had an intense flavor and was very moist. It was light, not dense, and reminded me of the breakfast bread. The cream cheese buttercream enhanced the banana flavor in the cake and was the perfect compliment. It was thick, sugary, and had just the right amount of cream cheese. I also tried the french chocolate buttercream and classic American chocolate cupcake, which was decadent and rich. I strongly suggest stopping by Butter Lane for a cupcake and while you are there sample the other frostings of the day!!!
