So I was at the Starbucks again today (I do not spend my days loitering around Starbucks until they tell me to stop harassing the Baristas, I swear) and I noticed the new "Starbucks Petites".
Ok that's a lie - I noticed them the minute they came out at Starbucks and here's why:
I CAN BUY DELICIOUS SWEETS WITH LESS GUILT!!
They are small, and we all know that very small pastries, just like pieces of cookies or edges of brownies, do not contain empty calories.
Now I am no health nut, but Starbucks totally caught onto my general desert MO: I'd pay almost as much for a tiny delicious pastry as I would for a giant bear claw.
And these, my friends, are pretty beautiful (especially you little lemon bundles of joy in the back) :
So this brings me to my questions of the day:
1) Are you ok spending more for a tiny fancy treat, or are you more of the bear claw kinda girl (guy)?
2) What's up with the cake pop? Were these just invented, because I now see them everywhere and they seem to be taking over the world, one bakery at a time!
Have a great night, y'all! (Thanks for readin').
I would want a big treat, like a big cupcake not some tiny little thing, or like 3 tiny things . . . or more honestly I would want a giant tub of icing, since for me the cakey bits are just a transportation device for icing deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a cake pop, and while they look delicious it would have to be amazing to convince me that it was better than a cupcake, being so much smaller!
I did see the cake pops at the Starbucks in Paris but in that moment I thought it was really too expensive for the little thing. Now I'm regretting having not just bought it hehe.
I love starbucks! I haven't tried those pops yet but I have tried the mini cupcakes- they were pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI just saw these mini treats at my Starbucks the other day, but I didn't try them although I was very intrigued. They look mighty tasty!
ReplyDeleteAs far as cake pops go, they seem to be a new fad in the dessert world. I noticed a cookbook at Target the other day that had only cake pop recipes in it!
I find any kind of dessert in miniature size adorable! I would totally spend more to get a cute dessert. I haven't tried them yet but I've in Starbucks a few times since the cakepop phenomenon and I'm always so tempted!
ReplyDeleteSo....did you try one? Don't leave us hanging!
Vanessa! Yes - cuteness is key in my book :).
ReplyDeleteI have not had a Starbucks cake pop (I got the lemon bar - I love them).
HOWEVER, my roommate made her own cake pops a couple weeks back, and I can report that if you are in the mood for some cute frosting-y indulgence, you will not be let down!
