The presentation is picture-perfect. The little gold Mickey takes the cake, which, speaking of, was light and moist.

The cake-flavored mousse was reminiscent of “funfetti” cake batter. Unfortunately, we could not taste any caramel in the icing. The crisp pearls gave an occasional surprise crunch.

Overall a good cupcake, more on the sweet side that would be good for cake batter fans.
