Sweeping through Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties is Cupcake Blvd; a new food truck that opened in February of this year. After coordinating with its owner, Angelette Citron- Aviles, I picked up my cupcakes from their commercial kitchen in Crofton, MD where they will be opening a cupcake shop this fall. Retailing for $3 a cupcake I was given* 8 cupcakes in a wide assortment of flavors: Vanilla, Fuzzy Coconut, Cookies-n-Cream, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Squared, Snickerdoodle, Key-Lime, and Dulce de Leche.

Lauren, Editor of Haute off the Press

When I picked up my cupcakes, I was accompanied by fellow blogger, Lauren, of Haute off the Press. She tried the key-lime cupcake first, and when asked how it was she stated: “It's okay...”  Lauren is a consummate cupcake lover and legal eagle with a superb eye for fashion so I value her opinion. 

There's an Oreo on the bottom of the cookies'n'cream

My first cupcake was the vanilla. I bit into it a few times in an attempt to grasp the flavor. What I got was a very moist cupcake with gelatinous frosting but no real flavor to speak of. Next I tried the fuzzy coconut and found myself again grabbing for flavor despite a deeply moist texture. Thereafter I tried the cookies-n-cream cupcake which was also moist and provided a sweet surprise at the bottom- an Oreo ® cookie. Although it did have more flavor than its predecessors, it was moderate at best.

Filling inside the dulce de leche cupcake

My favorite cupcake of the bunch would be the Snickerdoodle cupcake. The flavor was there and reminded me of a cinnamon bun (which is my fav). Speaking of flavor, the chocolate squared cupcake provided a rich and fudge-like experience. Unfortunately though the dulce de leche cupcake was less stellar with an indistinguishable flavor despite a moist texture and a caramel surprise in the center. My final cupcake was the salted caramel which came off more salty than sweet. 

Overall Cupcake Blvd’s cupcakes were a treat to my eyes and extremely moist despite the indistinguishable flavor amongst the generous variety. Catch the Cupcake Blvd. truck rolling through your side of town or visit them in Crofton at Roundz Gourmet Market.
