Too Nice To Slice Bakery - Oxford, AL

Over Christmas break, my mom and I went to check out the only cupcakery near my hometown - Too Nice to Slice Bakery in Oxford.  We selected a half dozen flavors to try and, after some running around, set about trying them out.

Dark Chocolate Fudge

 Dark Chocolate Fudge - The frosting was delicious, but the cake was a bit dry. The fact that the icing did not firm up over time helped to counter that a little.  Mimi - All I got was it was dry. I don't even remember the icing.

German Chocolate

German Chocolate - cake was very moist and had a good light chocolate flavor. Coconut in frosting was tasty. Mimi - could have used more nuts.

Red Velvet

Cross-section of red velvet for color

Red Velvet - A dense cake with a gorgeous red coloring. I really liked this one, though the frosting was a bit strong.  Mimi - Good overall.

French Vanilla Buttercream

French Vanilla with Buttercream - Lets face it... it's a vanilla cupcake. The frosting was a little crystally to me, but the cake was moist and had a decent vanilla flavor to it. Mimi - Meh... I was not impressed with that one.

Strawberry Cake

Strawberry Cake - Good strawberry flavor in a moist-ish cake... the frosting was weird for me though. Don't now that it had a distinct flavor I could pinpoint (I would have loved some cream cheese frosting on this one). Mimi - very vanilla icing, the cake has just a hint of strawberry, but not much.

Butter Pecan

Butter Pecan - Dense cake with a good frosting flavor (not very familiar with butter pecan, so I can't say exactly what it is).  Mimi - Definitely a butter pecan flavor. Still was a little dry.









Overall favorite? Me: tie between Red Velvet and the Dark Chocolate Fudge; Mimi: In terms of cake, German Chocolate; frosting, none really wowed me.
