Captain Kody: Cupcakes Sure Make Genevans Smile!

Kody sniffs out some tasty treats at The Latest Crave Cupcake Shop in Geneva

So last week, since I spoiled Kody with a trip to pet store in the Geneva Commons, I decided that this week it was my turn for a special treat.

Now to me, no day is complete without a little … or a LOT of dessert. If I had it my way, I would probably just skip “real” food altogether and go straight for dessert.

And lucky for me, in Geneva, there are plenty of places to get your sugar fix. So far this summer, Kody and I have visited , , the new , , , … all I can say is it’s a good thing Kody keeps me moving or I might be rolling about the streets of Geneva!

This was my first time inside, and I was inspired by the artful designs on many of the cupcakes as well as the friendly employees who were serving them. Among the flavors to choose from were red velvet cupcakes, snickerdoodle, raspberry truffle, german chocolate, peanut butter cup and coconut—just to name a few. If they weren’t so expensive, or rather if I had more money, I would have bought more than one. But I settled on a carrot cake cupcake with extra frosting determined to savor every bite.

It was moist, slightly chewy, full of various textures, not too sweet and had the ideal balance of flavors. I did sneak Kody a little taste of the frosting, and he licked his lips in approval. It was certainly NOT a waste of calories. So by all means—I encourage you to treat yourself and a friend at The Latest Crave. And please let me know if there’s any other sweet stop that I should go explore in Geneva!
