The Thousands

I’m not going to play it safe here, let’s get dirty and call it what it really is. Better Than Sex cupcakes on Pirie street specialises in satisfying those who maybe haven’t got some in a little while.

As soon as you step into what could be Willy Wonka’s side-project, you are transported into a world of sugary sweet temptations. With candy-striped decor, BTS is an ironic spot for you and your three best gal pals to discuss that sometimes not so delicious topic over a meringue-topped, lemon-filled ‘Carrie’ or the Belgian chocolate cake with chocolate frosting ‘Mr. Big’ cupcake (I know, cringe, but they are delicious).

You can then wash down the bad taste of the aforementioned conversation with their famous hot chocolate, which is made from 40 grams of real Callebaut Belgian Chocolate and served with pink and white marshmallows continuing in the very girly theme.

With names such as ‘The O.C’, an orange Belgian chocolate cake with orange, vanilla frosting and, ‘Elvis,’ a treat which The King himself would have happily lined his arteries with, consisting of a choc chip banana cake and creamy peanut butter frosting, you will be itching to ditch your lover for these cupcakes. BTS just might become a cult classic, and certainly a worthy replacement to a partner, especially if you ain’t getting none.
