Made All from Scratch

Think about this: What is one thing lots of parties all have? You see them a lot at graduation parties usually at the end of the top with lots of colors and lots of little kids trying to sneak one. That’s right there cupcakes! It’s not a party without some sort cupcakes or cake there to help celebrate.

               One of my favorite cupcake places is called Scratch Cupcakes.  It’s more of an Iowa thing, so you probably won’t find it anyway else but Iowa. The two locations that I’ve heard of are in Cedar Falls, Iowa and Iowa City, Iowa. But there could be more and I just don’t know about them.

               Scratch Cupcakes are this deliciously made massive cupcakes with some of the best toppings and/or frosting. Everything in their store is made from Scratch; hence the name Scratch Cupcakes. Other stores will get their cupcakes shipped them while Scratch employees make theirs right in the back of their cute little store. As soon as you open their door to walk in, you can just smell the perfect bakery smell and the freshly made cupcakes that are on display.

               Just like any old cake these cupcakes come in different flavors, but with A LOT more variety of flavors to choose from. From chocolate, to cookie dough, to monster cookie, to red velvet, to salted caramel, to even Bacon flavored; you name it they have it. They actually do this thing where every day they sell different flavors. Like every Mondays they sell Wedding Cake, Chocolate Turtle, and Brownie Batter. While on Fridays they sell Caramel Apple, Toffee, and German Chocolate. Let’s just say they have hundreds of different recipes to make the cake.

               The frosting is the unique part of the whole cupcake. The frosting itself all depends on the flavor of the cake you got. If you get a cookie dough kind of batter, then your “frosting” will be all cookie dough. If you have a Brownie Batter one, the top is going to look something like regular frosting with brownie crumbs sprinkled on top of it. So if you want one with a top that looks so tasty, you better hope you like the cake batter.

               Iowa is pretty well known for their Scratch cupcakes. I think it’s just the sweetness that is added to those. If you ever get offered a Scratch cupcake, DO NOT turn it down because you never know when the next time you’ll get offered a cupcake filled with deliciousness!
