Going Gourmet for Sweets: Prairie Girl cupcakes and Jelly Modern Doughnuts

I have always had difficulty resisting sweets. In fact, I had too much cake when I was preggy with DD#2 that my doctor rang alarm bells! But that is past and all is well. So, might as well enjoy the wonderful delights that are out there!

My friend introduced me to Prairie girls cupcakes after our Winterlicious meal. She got it as a treat for “the girls,” but allowed me to sample. I am a girl, after all! We went to the First Canadian Place location and the line-up was long! It was pretty quick, though.

We got a couple mini cupcakes for each of these flavours: Chocolate Chocolate, Chocolate Peppermint and Chocolate Raspberry. I guess it is pretty obvious we are chocolate people :) These were probably the best cupcakes I have ever had (even if I only got to taste a couple—the girls devoured the Chocolate Raspberry before I could ask for a bite!). Yum Yum! The cupcake was fresh and moist and the icing was divine. Made from real buttercream and Belgian chocolate, these were simply heavenly.

Hubby has now been made aware of its location so he knows where he can get these treats again should his girls’ cravings arise.

Well, now that we know where to get really awesome cupcakes, we have to have a source as well for doughnuts. You can imagine our delight when we found Jelly Modern Doughnuts tucked inside Pusateri’s at Bayview Village mall!

This winner of Food Network’s Donut Showdown had some very pretty donuts in their display rack. How could we have resisted? DD#1 wanted to try the Classic Jelly so we got one of those. We also got a Callebaut chocolate (yes, same chocolate I had at Pangaea!) and Skor bar.

Needless to say (or else I wouldn’t be writing about it!), these were the best doughnuts we’ve had! The doughnuts melt in your mouth and are filled with subtle yet distinct flavours. Not overwhelmingly sweet nor greasy, just absolutely delicious! They have other flavours we can’t wait to try: Maple Bacon, Carrot cake and S’mores!

The cupcakes and doughnuts each cost about $2-3 for the minis. But it is so worth it! And hey, if you have to indulge, go all the way! Happy Eating!
