Not that I'm complaining. It was delicious.
This came courtesy of La Provence in Beverly Hills, eager to promote their HUGE HONKING CUPCAKES (Discovered! The bakery treat that frightens small children!) for Valentine's Day in particular. Even for cupcake burnouts like myself, it was impressive: Buttercream icing that tastes like chocolate and butter instead of powdered sugar. And while it's a French bakery, the chocolate cake was moist and crumbly-dense like a class-A Duncan Hines.
Still. That thing's big.

Yes, please!

Wow!
I still think I could get through it in a day, though. ;)

Ha! My least favorite thing about french bakeries is that they are too different from the classic Duncan Hines!
