Oops, I did it again.
I let the gorgeous display of cupcakes at Joan’s on 3rd fool me into thinking that they’d taste as good as they look. If you recall from this post here, I was not a fan of their vanilla cupcake.
This time I had high hopes that the red velvet and marshmallow-cream options would be different. Alas, it’s the same old song and dance as all the other times I’ve been to Joan’s.. the cake was way too dry, and in this instance, the icing was a bit salty ((sigh)). At least the marshmallow cupcake had ooey-goey cream in the center to help mitigate the dryness of the chocolate cake.
Because Joan’s on 3rd is still a darling lunch spot, click here to see more info on it. Just avoid the cupcakes!
Ooey Gooey center
How disappointing! I love their food, but I’ve never tried a dessert and now I know to skip it and save the calories! Thanks DD!
I agree!
However, I will say that my Mom is obsessed with their coconut cupcakes.
I fly with a box of Joan’s coconut cupcakes every time I go home to Dallas.
Joan’s on Third’s cupcakes really are tragically underwhelming! They look like they have so much potential, but I haven’t had a single cupcake from there that hasn’t been dry. I stick with their bars – the lemon bar and magic bar specifically. They’re always a win for me!
Also love their chocolate dream cookie – the perfect size for a small post-tuna melt treat!
I sm sll sbout Joan’s torta di bosco which basicakky is angel foodcake with a layer of cream and lots of yummy berries!!!
