American Cupcake Strikes Back...

We revisited American Cupcake this week for a totally indulgent Saturday 'lunch' with Halcyon. She'd read the guidebooks, seen the blogs and chatted to Helen and this was on the list of 'Things to Do'. And I don't blame her. It is a total experience like nothing I have ever seen in England.

We opted for the Flights and Pairings menu. 'Flights' is a term used by wine tasters to describe a selection of wines usually between 3 and 8 glasses. Ours happened to be accompanied by mini cup cakes and very yummy.

Halcyon's Choice

The Tunnel of Love:
Chocolate / Vin Gris Rose
Red Velvet / Sonoma Brut
Red Hot / Cabernet Sauvignon








Jo's Choice

The Fun House:
Bubblegum / Pinot Grigio
Cotton Candy / Syrah Rose
Pixie Stix / Brut Rose

My favorite was the Syrah Rose, a beautifully light, almost white, red wine. Halcyon just liked them all!

The cakes were exceptionally nice, really light and fluffy with very scrummy icing.  3 mini cakes and 3 glasses of wine at lunch time left us feeling slightly squiffy but nothing that a good walk around pier 39 and the smell of the sealions didn't sort out!

Love Jo x
