It’s fitting that this upscale confectionery and its decadent offerings are located in the glitzy Tysons Galleria. Owner Danielle Poux says she uses “a lot of butter and a lot of heavy cream” in her cupcakes and adds, “They’re probably not the healthiest for you.” Other ingredients contributing to the rich taste: brown sugar and evaporated milk. Flavors include caramel, key lime, lemon buttercream, orange buttercream and strawberries and cream. If you’re shopping and your blood sugar suddenly drops, this is the place for a pit stop.
