The Cupcake Corner in Osborne Village

The Cupcake Corner in Osborne Village, Winnipeg, is a tiny little bakery that specializes in- you've got it- cupcakes.

When you step inside, the layout of the store is very simple.  I wasn't impressed by the plasticine-like appearance of many of the cakes (yes, they do those too) that were displayed around the place, but I guess that's what you get when you use fondant and leave the results sitting around, exposed, for days at a time.  I was reminded of using modeling clay, or oven-bake clay when I was a child, and it's not something I like to associate with putting in my mouth.

However, the display of cupcakes within the freezer was tantalizing and fun.  Orderly rows of fresh, brightly-iced treats were what I had come to see.  I eventually picked a lemon-vanilla cupcake and took it home in a clean, white box of its very own. 

It's presentation was very nice, but I found the icing to be much too sweet and too plentiful.  The cupcake itself tasted like a birthday party from my childhood, so that was great.  I would not recommend coming here for your treats. 

Here is my stock-photo-esque shot of it before I ate it (it was too cute not to take a few pictures).
