A new trend coming for 2012 is mini desserts. Based on the health and economic trend, smaller desserts are a way for people to enjoy without the expansion of their waistline or the shrinking of their wallet.
Petite Sweets in Houston was smart before their time. This store has all sweet treats you would want, just in petite form!
Walking inside, the store is an array of colors. All of their macaroons are made in every color under the rainbow and in every flavor you could imagine. Although, I wasn’t there to try their macaroons, I was in awe and had to pick up a box for a friend’s birthday.
I was there for the cupcakes! Because they were small in size, I allowed myself to get two – the vanilla-vanilla and the maple jam cupcake.
Vanilla-Vanilla
Taste
Cake
A great vanilla bean specked cake. I really enjoyed the flavor, but it was a little dry.
Frosting
A good balance of vanilla flavor added into the buttercream. Melt in your mouth creamy!
Presentation
I was extremely disappointed with the quality of their presentation. It didn’t appear that they had any sort of quality control for the cupcakes. The edges and tops were uneven and the frosting looked thrown on. Also, it looked like the frosting melted a bit, creating a blob of frosting on top.
Sweet Endings
I enjoy this concept and will frequent them often for their other sweet treats besides cupcakes. They make everything in-house besides the custard and gelato. The macaroons looked to be their specialty too.
If they would just add wifi, I think it would be a great place to grab a cup of coffee and sweet treat and get some studying done!
