Cupcake Mojo

Today I come to you from the state of Massachusetts. I am here visiting Jennie and her family. As you know this blog began when Jennie and I would go visit cupcake stores in search of THE best cupcake. Well the cupcake adventures has gone to the other side of the country.

Today we visited Cupcake Mojo in Weymouth, MA. Jennie heard about this new place opening up and we just had to visit it. As we pulled up to the location I noticed this cute car with the store's name and logo. As we entered I knew that we were in for a treat.

First of all the decor is really cute. It has pink and blue decor and this really cute pink pay phone. It was like something you see in the movies.
We were greeted by a nice young girl who told is about the flavors of the day. I ordered a salted caramel cupcake and Jennie ordered the Princess cupcake which is a chocolate cupcake with purple buttercream frosting. Jennie said her cake was good. The frosting was not too sweet and it had sugar sprinkled on top which was a sweet surprise.

My cupcake was the salted caramel cupcake. It was a brown cake with homemade caramel filling, salty caramel buttercream frosting, and caramel drizzle on top. This is like no cupcake I have ever tasted. I normally see the usual flavors like vanilla or chocolate cake with some kind of flavored frosting. This was different... Different in a good way! This was a good homemade cupcake... A gourmet homemade cupcake. I always try the cake first, then the frosting, and finally both together. I have to tell you that the cupcake did not disappoint. Altogether the cupcake had the right balance of salt and sweetness and it makes you want more.

While we were eating our cupcake we met the owner Maureen. Maureen made us feel right at home. She told us about the store, the flavors, and even told us that they were on cupcake wars. (you know I was hooked at that point!) She explained to us that they bake and create new recipes on a daily basis. She doesn't believe in having a refrigerated case because that just takes away the freshness of the cupcake and I agree! Just having the personal attention from the owner is what makes a business successful. You are there right up front to meet the customers and tend to their needs.

All in all I had a pleasant experience at Mojos. Too bad I do not live nearby because because I would love to try their new creations. I think Jennie has to make more trips and keep me updated!
