Cake Side Trip 20.5: Aristocrat Beehive Cup

This is not exactly a new episode but a side trip from this episode’s main star, “The Black Forest”. While the Black Forest was a planned purchase, this beehive cup was bought based on a whim. Seeing it made me realize how long it has been since I have last eaten a brownie with faux cream on top.
Visual: It does look like a beehive but the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was a cupcake due to the faux cream on top. Having tasted something like this before, I knew that it was not really cream, rather it is made of some sort of soft sugar that melts upon reaching your mouth.


Taste: Too sweet! The inside of the chocolate top beehive is already made of frosted sugar and the chocolate coating made it even more so. Well, this bakeshop sure has a reputation of making its products too sweet as compared to its contemporaries who would rather balance out an overly sweet layer with nuts, complement with a not so sweet ingredient like dark chocolate or simply not compete with it by just using plain white cream.

Share your thoughts;) They are always welcome.
