Cupcakes @ Outta The Oven
Once upon a time there was a Celebrity Café in Las Colinas. It was pretty much ignored by me because on the three occasions I visited there, I was underwhelmed with a too-sweet cake, a dry cookie, and a sandwich that was just ok. Nothing there was bad per se, but nothing was worth coming back for.
Fast forward to a week ago when a friend at work, Matt, surprised us with cupcakes from a bakery called Outta the Oven. The cupcakes were delicious and Matt had really nice things to say about the ladies working there (and a certain panini he had for lunch).
The cupcake I had that day was delicious: banana (if you can believe that) with a cream cheese frosting. When I went to look up Outta the Oven, I found that the Celebrity Café I had forgotten about is now under a new name. The scoop is that this Celebrity Café franchise (along with another in Addison) has gone rogue, renamed itself, and is now working independently. I’m not sure exactly how different their menu is from what it used to be or if the recipes vary that much from what they were before. What I do know is that the almost magical banana cupcake made me give them another look. Yesterday on the last day of National Cupcake Week, I went back to try a German chocolate cupcake that was equally lovely. Nice cupcakes minutes away from my office and they’re only $2.25 a piece, which is a steal compared to Sprinkles. This could be a very bad thing…
