Cupcakes by Sonja

Is it just me or you’re also one of the foodies whom Cupcakes by Sonja hasn’t impressed (just yet)? :oops:


Red Velvet Vixen
Traditional southern cake made with Belgian cocoa and cream cheese icing
PhP65

Cream cheese icing’s too sweet, cupcake’s too dry.


Southern Pecan Cupcake Pie
Rich and tender homemade shortcrust with our special pecan filling made with heaps of pecan nuts bathed in sweet maple syrup
PhP98

Too sweet syrup on dry and hard shortcrust.


Raspberries and Cream*
Raspberry cake filled with Raspberries and topped with Rasp-Whipped Cream
PhP85

My Lancôme Juicy Tubes taste far better than this. Even JustDesserts agrees. Get it for your complimentary make-up sample and lesson from Bobbi Brown though. ;)


Vanilla Sunshine
A classic and fluffy yellow cake topped with either vanilla or butter cream
PhP48

Yes, it’s a classic treat but it’s not in anyway fluffy! The butter cream was too sweet. While it’s bigger than my vanilla cupcake of the moment, I’d go for CC’s cupcakes over this on any day.

Nope, I wasn’t impressed as well (and I have such LOW standards lol). It’s great if you want that sugar high, but otherwise.. blah.

yes, finally! i’m not crazy after all. i thought i was the only one who thought the cupcakes were too dry. although sonja says it’s because that’s the way people like it in the US. she’s a nice lady, and the cupcakes aren’t BAD, but it’s not my cup of tea. oh well…

I’m one of them!

I think I can make better cupcakes! (hihi..) I had a phase of just making and making! Hahaha.. Was frustrated with the outcome of the Sonja cupcakes kasi..
