Review - Cupcake Arromanis

Dear,

I have tried cupcakes, a LOT, and reviewed it one by one -saved in my notepad, errr, and i forget to publish it here- . So here is my 1st review, my friend's cupcake: Arromanis. Arromanis' claim its cupcakes are made with less sugar and less milk, with a choice of Red Velvet, Green Velvet, Marble Cupcake, topped with assorted toppings (cream cheese frosting with strawberry / matcha powder/ sprinkles/ almond/ corn flakes)

The Package

 I love the package! Instead using a mass, plain cupcake packaging from a shop (i know, because i made cupcake too :p), she made it well designed, and tough, as it might delivered to other cities outside Bandung as well.

Package of Assorted Cupcakes

Sorry i didn't take the pic -sekali hap langsung abis, terlalu meresapi review nya nyam nyam- of Arromanis' RV.

At first, i thought the size is a regular size (d= 8 cm), so it was below my expectation when it came with a 3 cm diameters. But it's cute, remind me of a (slightly) bigger bakedbymelissa of NY. I first try the Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting, strawberry topped, and i LIKE it. The sour of strawberry, blend with a mixed of milky, cheesy frosting are somehow give me my mouth a mild sensation of Red Velvet. Or, it might be just because i finished it in my 3rd bites, so i got no 'weird-chemical' aftertaste, -usually from the excessive use of food coloring-. It slightly taste like Seradella, because it also topped with strawberry.

So, in conclusion, as a RV reviewer (not maker, phew), i prefer Arromanis than Alma, because of its less sweet taste, and to Seradella, for its price.

Green Velvet

It might be my very personal opinion, because i used to review RV only. But i don't think that Matcha powder is an appropriate taste for a topping, because of its bitter aftertaste. For the cake, it's  not as moist as the RV, blended with (might be) too much Matcha Powder. I've tasted Green Velvet at Kitchenette, probably made by Alma, CMIIW, and it taste blah. So, in conclusion, i might not fall for this cake, i might fall for ocha, green tea shake, or green tea milk, but not for cupcake :(

Marble Cupcake

I LIKE IT! I personally think this is Arromanis' best. It taste like banana cake without banana chunk, it is soft, moist, light, and came with a beautiful color burst, eventhough sometimes the excessive use of food coloring bothers me.It amazed me how Arromanis doesn't give that weird-aftertaste-food-coloring-effect taste in my mouth, good job, Arromanis! :)

For the topping, i love the frosting, even sometimes it's too milky for me. For that kind of 'milky' taste, its best companion -para mi- is strawberry! I also love sprinkles, but i'm not a big fan of almond-flake, because it's not crunchy enough to be a topping -drolling for a nougat topping of Union's RV-. , and the least, Matcha topped, which is shaped very well, a cute star, but taste bitter -hello, it's matcha powder, what do you expect, karin? dimana-mana rasanya sama, pahit!-

P.S: I think you can also order the regular size as well, if you are a cupcake monster like moi.
