Another great spot for locals and visitors to St George, Twenty Five Main. Mel took me here for an afternoon snack to try some of their specialty cupcakes. Gourmet Cupcakes have been all the rage this year with new stores popping up like crazy and lots of cupcake blogs and websites. Lots of people really love cupcakes and the creativity that you can express with all of the different varieties, colors, and decorations you can add. As for me, cupcakes are not usually my first choice when it comes to desserts. I’m more of ice cream kind of girl. I like cake if it has a big scoop of ice cream on it but I could go usually without the cupcake by itself. Now I will admit that there are a few cupcakes exceptions I’ve tried lately that have changed my perspective. For example, the original Cupcake vendor Sprinkles, my friend Allison got me to try their red velvet and I loved it. She knows her cupcakes and also bakes many of her own that sound divine. It was perfectly moist with soft cream cheese icing and their signature red dot on top. I think a lot of the time I just don’t think a cupcake is worth the $4 you have to pay for one at a gourmet cupcake shop. At Twenty Five Main, I had a new experience. Their cupcakes were only $1.75, not too oversized, fresh and moist. I guess those are my qualifications for a good cupcake. What are yours? Would you agree?? I tried the Raspberry Lemonade cupcake at Twenty Five Main and especially loved the raspberry icing made with real fresh raspberries. I have been into a lemon flavor kick so the lemon cake was also a good choice. I have heard that the peanut butter cupcake is also good. The cupcakes there really tasted fresh and home made, from scratch – not dry at all! Twenty Five Main has many other fun items on their menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it seemed like overall everyone in there had a cupcake in hand. Especially, all of the kids running around (I was quickly reminded that I was still in Utah where kids out-number adults). Check out more of Twenty Five Main on their website. And if you’re in the area you should also walk around Ancestor Square, where you’ll find lots of cute independent shops and cafes. One more thing: don’t miss Urban Renewal, 5 E Saint George Blvd, for some great second-hand finds in furniture, decor, and fashion. I found some great yellow heals and a fun old red belt there. Overall I loved my visit to St. George and am excited to go back for more exploration soon.
