I wanted to like it. It looked so pretty in all its glorious chocolateness. But last Monday wasn’t a good night for the Brewers, or my chocolate addiction.
What I’m speaking of is the chocolate decadence cupcake offered at a number of the gourmet concession stands in Miller Park. The beautiful case showcased a selection of three or four types of cupcakes (red velvet, vanilla, chocolate decadence, and Oreo on our night.) Also, there were three mini-pies to pick from (chocolate banana cream pie, apple, and blueberry were our selections.) All desserts cost $5, which (in the world of stadium prices) didn’t seem that bad.
Back to our sample…the cake was dense, but dry. It had the mouth feel of a chocolate muffin. The frosting was horribly sweet and cloying. Pair the flavor with the thickness and it seemed like something from a tub.
What the cake lacked in quality, it made up for in quantity. This thing was huge! Plenty for two people with sweet toothes. Bonus: the cake was topped with a bunch of peanut butter cups and chocolate chips. Yum!
Would I get it again? Afraid not. I think I’ll save my calories for the baked potato (seriously, check out the stand right around section 210 and tell Dora I sent you. You will not be disappointed.) and Frontier cookies instead.
