bite me cupcakes at swingers: santa monica



if you are from the east coast like we are, nothing say late night fun like heading to the local diner at the end of the night. however, outside of the tri-state, your standard diner if few and far between. swingers in santa monica is the closest thing to a diner the santa monica has to offer. the menu is a mix of typical diner food and vegan options for those health conscious west coasters. though i would say the food is not quite as "diner-y" as i would like it to be at 1am, i do enjoy the fact that i can get a cupcake at all hours of the night! there are usually about 10 standard cupcakes to choose from and a weekly special! i have had two bite me cupcakes so far, the s'mores and of course the red velvet, here's what i think.

cupcake ratings
red velvet
icing: 3 out of 5
cake: 4 our of 5
taste: 4 out of 5
over all i really like this cupcake, the cake and the icing taste great, the only reason the icing got a 3 out of 5 is because there is not nearly enough of it, these are pretty large cupcakes and they only put a little dollop on top.
S'mores
icing: 3 out of 5
cake: 4 out of 5
taste: 4 out of 5
love the marshmallow bunny on top and the graham cracker underneath, totally reminded me of the real thing!

shop
priced: 5 out of 5
$4 for a larger than normal cupcake
presentation: 3 out of 5
loved the addition of the marshmallow bunny and chocolate drizzle, cupcakes are on display at the diner counter on cake stands, however the packaging they have is not adequate in size and your frosting may get squished
red velvet: 4 out of 5
