Osborne Village's Own Cupcakery

This morning I am posting a review on The Cupcake Corner because I am having my 1030 am chocolate craving and can't stop thinking about their chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. I have tried making my own version because I am fairly handy in the kitchen but I cannot get the icing right. They know their stuff and the memory of their delicious icing has stayed with me since my last visit there.

I found this cupcakery with a friend maybe 6 months ago. I guess I had seen it in passing many times but finally found an excuse to stop in. We were out garage saleing and decided that we needed a sweet fix and drove past The Cupcake Corner and decided that it was our stop for the day. We chose the right place because as we entered The Cupcake Corner we saw rows and rows of brightly iced cupcakes. She chose a large mocha chocolate cupcake and I chose a large peanut butter chocolate for myself, & 2 small cupcakes in strawberry vanilla and banana chocolate for my little girl. I am a bit of a pusher when it comes to delicious baking. My girl cannot become one of those kids that prefer salty treats to chocolate. I would have to disown her. ;) Back to the review. Well....I am an icing woman. The cake of course was good but the icings were awesome!! I ended up eating the peanut butter and the banana one. My friend loved her mocha cupcake too. They were truly delicious.

Since then, my daughter calls Cupcake Corner her cupcake store and we go now and then and each pick a cupcake. She prefers the vanilla cupcakes with the fruity icings and I always get the peanut butter chocolate because I cannot get over the icing. It is a great place to drop in for something sweet. Normally they have chocolate or vanilla cupcakes with a variety of icings on hand for drop ins but if you want to try something new and even more exciting you can pre-order by the dozen nearly any flavour under the sun: red velvet, apple cinnamon, peanut butter & jam, coconut key lime, blueberry, double chocolate, maple walnut, peach, mango, after eight, banana cream, strawberry banana, chocolate bailey's, double chocolate brownie, strawberry almond, cranberry lemon, smore, lemon poppyseed, ginger apple, cookies & cream, and assorted cheesecakes: strawberry, raspberry, chocolate chips, pumpkin, etc, etc, etc.

I have noticed a new trend lately at the weddings I have attended. Many people are opting for a cupcake tower rather than a traditional wedding cake. The Cupcake Corner can cater weddings, birthday parties, or any other function. They also can make a birthday boy or girl a giant cupcake. The only thing better than a cupcake is a giant cupcake topped with peanut butter icing reaching up to the sky. Oh how I love that icing.





I am now dying for something sweet and they are unfortunately closed on Sundays so I am ending my review so I can dig for some chocolate chips from the freezer. Check out Cupcake Corner in person, pre-order by phone or order online at:
