Cupcake Central

Cupcake Central has some of the best cupcakes in Melbourne! They offer your standard cupcake flavours everyday, as well as a selection of unique specials that are on rotation on their baking calendar (and changes every season). The Pandan flavour from their Spring Collection was wonderful. The Pandan aroma is quite strong and prominent, just the way I like it, and pairs really well with the toasted coconut. It’s also vegan and gluten free, so it’s not as moist and decadent as some of their other flavours, though it’s still pretty good. The Chocolate Cracklemisu was also a delight. I find that their chocolate flavours tend to have the most moist cakes - perhaps due to the richness of melted chocolate. There was a subtle hint of coffee which was nice, but being an avid coffee lover I would’ve personally preferred for the coffee flavour to be a bit stronger. But the cupcake was still delicious and I loved the chocolate rice bubble ‘crackle’ on top. All their cupcakes are wonderfully moist and fluffy, along with being so stunning to look at! Not too sweet nor heavy - perfect for parties or as a gift!
