In my quest to find the best cupcake in Fort Collins, I have been disappointed more times than I’ve been satisfied. Bakeries and cupcakeries have sprung up all over town, but most serve cupcakes leaving much to be desired.
That is, until I discovered the Cupcake Cruiser!
For months the Cupcake Cruiser has eluded me. I’ve seen it parked in various lots throughout town, but never at an opportune time for me to stop and sample the intriguing cupcakes. The stars finally aligned this weekend and I experienced the delicious bliss of the Cupcake Cruiser.
I was greeted by a smiling cupcake employee who enthusiastically reviewed current cupcake flavor offerings and deals. Each cupcake is $2.75, but she was offering four cupcakes for $10. I’m not one to turn down a deal (or four cupcakes!), so I sprung for the box. She even offered to throw in a FREE cupcake since it was my first time and I was clearly ridiculously excited. Flavors vary daily, but here are the goodies I sampled: the Happy Hippie, Chocolate Loves Vanilla, Vanilla Loves Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Pancake, and Root Beer Float (adorably garnished with a bendy straw!).
Cupcake Cruiser’s cupcakes are perfectly soft and dense, not overly moist and not at all dry. They are topped with just the right amount of frosting and garnished with treats to intensify the flavor. Truly delectable! I couldn’t stop saying, “mmmmmm” after each bite.
For locations, check out the Cupcake Cruiser calendar or “like” them on Facebook. Definitely give these cupcakes a go – they are so sweet!
