DNK Cupcakes

We made it back! Yes this is an add on to my last DNK Cupcakes post because I wanted to get a good snap of how amazingly adorable their cupcakes are. We've ordered a 4 pack of the normal size cupcakes which is $10. There's the flake, red velvet, strawberry and vanilla with raspberry icing. 

The biggest worry for me was that the normal size cupcakes wouldn't be as moist as the mini cupcakes we ate on Jeremy and my first visit here. But I needn't have worried, they were amazing! And so I'm happy to post here again, raving about how quality this place is. I'm a big fan :)

Question: what's better than cupcakes? 
Answer: mini-cupcakes! Miniature, moist and deliciously fluffy cupcakes that are decorated enticingly in a beautiful manner. 


Cookies and cream mini cupcake

That's what faces you when you stroll through the food portion of Fremantle Markets on Henderson Street. Rows and rows of mini cupcakes on one side of DNK Cupcake's stall, and normal sized on the other. 

Jeremy and I try to resist temptation by walking away, stopping at a nearby fruit stand to sample some mango and purchase some strawberries. But soon enough, we find ourselves back at the stand buying a sweet little four pack for only $6.

We pick two flavours each. For me, there's the chocolate cupcake with pink icing and a pretty pink marshmallow on top. The cupcake itself is so, so moist and the icing is decadent but light. Normally I like to take my time eating, but I'm gobbling this down with excitement. The other flavour I choose is the banana which is my favourite of the two. It smells amazing and the taste is like those banana lollies that you get in the $2 deli bags. 

Unfortunately we're so excited by the sugar rush that we don't take any photos except one of Jeremy's. It's the cookies and cream flavoured cupcake - vanilla base, cookies & cream icing and a cute mini Oreo on top. It's his favourite, only just topping the carrot cake mini-cupcake that he chooses as the final in our box set.

I tend to find it quite hard to track down quality cupcakes these days. At one stage they were everywhere, but now it's all about the macaron. So I'm pretty pleased to know that there is still a place I can go when I'm craving just this.
