And The Winner Is....

Chocolate! The results of last weeks poll are in, 52% of voters prefer chocolate to vanilla. I can't say I'm surprised, I fully anticipated that chocolate would win the vote. What does surprise me is how narrowly it won by.

I myself am a vanilla fan (well sorta, I'll explain in a second), I love a good vanilla cake smothered in a rich chocolate buttercream. I was surprised because my most popular flavours are typically those with a chocolate cake base. This got me thinking...is vanilla really my favourite? Well I guess that depends on my options. If I had to choose my own birthday cake from the grocery store it would hands down be a vanilla cake with chocolate icing. But give me a few more choices and the decision is not so easy. I would likely choose a chocolate cake topped with peanut butter buttercream or chocolate cake with mint buttercream or some other ice cream inspired flavour combo.

This all leads me to my next question. Not a lot of people voted, is this because their answer is not so cut and dry? I realize that a real possibility as to why people did not vote is that they simply did not care to but, I am going to choose to ignore this and go ahead with my next poll.

This week, rather than trying to figure out cake flavour, we'll move on to the cupcake as a whole. Let me know what type of cupcake you would be most likely to order, your choices are

1. Keep it simple (typically vanilla or some classic variation of it)
2. Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate (pretty self explanatory)
3. Fresh and Fruity (citrus, banana, berry flavoured etc.)
4. I go nuts over the nutty (peanut butter, almond etc.)
5. I'll take one of each please! (for the ultimate cupcake fan) and finally,
6. This is ridiculous (a cupcake is a cupcake and you have better things to do with your time than debate such a silly topic)

Can't wait to see the results (that's my subtle way of telling you all to vote!).

Wishing you a sweet day,
