Sundae"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I drove to Austin for my sisters 22nd birthday.\u00a0 With Sarah, no trip is complete without a stop at Whole Foods on Lamar.\u00a0 I frequent the coffee bar at Whole Foods where a display case is always full of delicious looking cupcakes.\u00a0 Now, these are not your simple frosted cupcakes.\u00a0 On this Sunday afternoon the case boasted cupcakes that looked like apple pies, hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream sundaes&#8230;with a cherry on top!\u00a0 I am usually just an observer of the cupcakes, but when Sarah and I went to pay for our coffees the guy at the check out (who had noticed us drooling on the display case) asked us which cupcake we were going to get&#8230;so we got one.\u00a0 The precious cupcake traveled back to Round Rock and was dessert for Sarah and me.\u00a0 Beautiful and impressive&#8230;yes.\u00a0 Delicious&#8230;not so much.\u00a0 It was edible (and I ate it) but not the moistest cake or the tastiest icing I&#8217;ve ever had.\u00a0 The consistency of the cake was more like dry sweet cornbread, much like the cupcake I ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cupcakecafe-nyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cupcake Cafe<\/a> in New York&#8230;also beautiful and unpalatable.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think you have to sacrifice taste for beauty, but this cupcake did.<\/p>\n<p><a
