Cocoa & Fig's cupcakes are crowned with frosting in Dairy Queen cone-style lobes piled as tall as their bases. If you can't take a bite without frosting your nose, it's probably a little much. Still, the frosting is among the most ethereal you will ever taste, silky and light as whipped butter. The cupcakes can look more ornamental than edible, topped sundae-style with fresh raspberry buttons or dotted with tiny chocolate balls. Some resemble miniature mannequin heads after a trip to the beauty shop, covered in little chocolate curls. And the cupcakes taste as beautiful as they look. Lemon frosting has the fresh sting of real lemon juice; raspberry tastes as true as pureed fruit. While the cake is properly moist and dense, it's that frosting--voluminous and nearly foamy, tasting waxy for a millisecond before melting into richness--that puts Cocoa & Fig's cupcakes over the top.
