Sweet! by Good Golly Miss Holly

Last night I attended a special sampling event at Sweet! by Good Golly Miss Holly that was set up for a few local bloggers.  They have only been open at this location for 3 weeks, but I have already heard any people raving about their cupcakes.  So, of course, I was looking forward to trying them myself!

They have 30 different flavors of cupcakes.  They presented each of us with 2 trays of their mini cupcakes containing 15 of their 30 flavors.  I was glad I brought a friend with me because even though these were mini cupcakes, there was no way I was going to be able to get to all of them.

We jumped right into them, tasting and savoring each cupcake.  My senses were challenged to figure out the flavors because they wanted us to guess, and my tongue was doing the happy dance!  They were honestly the best cupcakes I have ever tried.  Each one held it's own special goodness and it would be hard to select a favorite.  But, I have to say I am so looking forward to having another coconut cupcake!   When I bit into it, there was a nice surprise of Bavarian creme filling.  It was heavenly!  Other flavors that stood out was their Pumpkin Cinnamon and their Peanut Butter & Jelly was an enjoyable surprise, different but yummy.  I am not a fan of Key Lime anything, so I was eager to try their Key Lime cupcake and see if I could be sold on it.  I have to admit, I loved it and would definitely order it again.

Each cupcake flavor had it's own density and texture that made it unique and added to the experience.  The icing was perfect on each one, just the right amount without being overpowering.  There was one I ate that I would have preferred it without the sprinkles, but that's just because I'm not a sprinkle fan.

I had a lofty goal to at least taste all 15 flavors they presented us with but I only made it to 8.  At that point I had to stop because I could no longer truly enjoy each individual flavor because I had already tasted so many.  I was impressed with Caron of Folio Weekly Bite Club because she managed to taste all 15 flavors!  Jessica of First Bite was also in attendance with us.

Besides gourmet cupcakes in 3 sizes: mini, classic and original, they also offer special order giant cupcakes for special occasions and frozen yogurt.  Their store is bright and colorful with indoor and outdoor seating in a great location at the St John's Town Center.  Stop in on Mini Mania Monday's and enjoy their minis for only $1 a piece!
