Cupcake Adventures: Dots Cupcakes

Last month when I was at the Rose Parade we passed Dots Cupcakes and I knew I needed to get back to Pasadena as soon as possible to check it out!  And I have to say that I’m really glad I went back because these cupcakes were yummy!  I loved that they offered mini cupcakes because then I get to try two different flavors without feeling guilty about my calorie consumption for the day.  Dots offered a variety of unique and traditional flavors and they even have cupcakes for your canine friends!

Bakers Choice (a chocolate cupcake with caramel inside, caramel icing and caramel crunch balls on top) and Dulce de Leche

Dulce de Leche and Strawberry (there was more to the name and for the life of me I can’t remember the rest of the name!)

I have also been thinking about implementing a cupcake rating system…to differentiate the absolutely outstanding from the great from the good cupcakes…what things should I be rating?
