Rolling With Rifah: Carlos Bakery

“Sweetness in a Box”

There are many sources of happiness in the world. A good movie, hanging out with loved ones and even passing that quiz in Spanish will always bring a smile. One thing that never fails to make me happy is a good old cupcake. That’s exactly what Carlos’s Bakery has to offer. It’s happiness at it’s best. They have everything from classic chocolate and vanilla cupcakes to eclairs and cannoli. Each looks more delicious than the next which made it so hard to choose what to get! The staff was extremely kind to my friend and I and even joked around about how they still can’t pick out which is best. We finally decided on one caramel and one Oreo cupcake. The first bite promised us that we were not going to ever go back to a generic packaged cupcake again. Even though the icing put a spotlight on caramel and Oreo, those flavors never overpowered the actual cupcakes. It was almost like they delicately weaved in those bold flavors while bringing out the best in the cupcake as well. With that being said, they were a tad bit too sweet. Sweetness is key in a cupcake but it can work against it when there is too much.  Overall, our taste buds had an amazing time and we will definitely be stopping by again in the near future. You should too!

 

Taste: 4.5/5

Comic Con Coverage!

About two weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the annual Philadelphia Wizard World “Comic Con” convention. Filled with interesting panels and discussions, including with Doctor Who’s David Tennant, Gotham’s Ben Mckenzie, Marvel’s Hayley Atwell,  various comic specialists discussing the Jokers character for the past 75 years, a team discussing the pros and cons of the various star wars movies and what to anticipate for the new movies and much more. Along with a slew of merchandise and artist’s work to choose from, and it also had interactive experiences like a Jurassic Park Oculus rift, tattooing booth, hobbit ear applications and more! Below I attached photos of the various costumes and cool things found, including the winners of the costume contest and my own costume as NBC’s Doctor Hannibal Lecter. Hope you all enjoy and strongly encourage coming out next year!
