Some friends and I visited Just Baked last week during their wine and cupcake pairing, which is held on the first Tuesday of each month.  For the bargain-basement price of $5, we sampled five different cupcakes and five different Moscato wines from Treehouse Vineyards in Monroe, NC.  The cupcake were bite-sized versions of their regular offerings but after five of them, you're guaranteed to be in a sugar coma.  They were over-the-top delicious and moist which, in my experience, is sometimes hard to pull off with a cupcake.  My favorite was the Key Lime and I'll admit to sneaking a second sample of that one (sorry guys!) because the candied slice of key lime garnish counter-balanced the sweetness.  I didn't sample all of the wines because after getting the first pour, we had to wait in a line of about 40 people to get the second one and I just wasn't up to doing that for the remaining four samples.  Hopefully next time they'll have the wine tastings pre-poured and sitting alongside the cupcakes for the taking. 


If you're craving a sweet treat, indulge with Just Baked Cupcakes in Cornelius and keep them in mind for parties, special occasions, or weddings too!
