Musk cupcakes, with musk frosting & topped with musk mini'sCome Join me on Facebook
Ahhhh, difficult to describe the flavour of musk lollies if your not from Australian or New Zealand. A popular pink lolly in it's most common form a 12cm (4.72in) "stick".
Texture
The sticks are extruded, firm, yet are soft & melt in your mouth. The mini's are crunchy and lifesavers chalky, all have that distinct one of kind musk flavour.
Flavour
As for the flavour, well it certainly is a conundrum, let's see, they are not related to the cosmetic musk perfume, yet I would describe them as having a strong "perfume". With a hint of rose water &... well, I don't know really. I've heard them described as "tasting like the smell of old ladies at the bus stop & yet kind of nice" (bet that makes you want to try them!), I like the flavour with it's floral undertones. Popular wedding cupcake choice with the pretty pink colour & sweet flavour.
Shot
