Pistachio Chocolate Cupcake and Green Tea Cupcake

The cupcakes at Love at First Bite aren’t the best, but they do have some awesome flavors that you can’t find just anywhere. In general, green tea is an all-time favorite flavor of mine – just call me Asian. Their green tea cupcake was a must for me and I loved it. The green tea frosting had a sweet yet bitter taste, and the cake itself was also green tea flavored; however, the cake was on the dry side. That’s what I also remember from my last visit here a few years ago.

On the other hand, the chocolate cake in the chocolate pistachio cupcake was a lot more moist, and again, the frosting was delicious. Overall, their frosting is my favorite part of their cupcakes. I like its texture – the buttercream looks like it’s hard-frosted but it’s actually not, yet it’s also not as light as to feel like you’re just eating whipped butter.
