| - You are in the middle of a war. You do not realize this. But you have already taken sides, and your review of this cupcakery will tell you which side of the battlefield you are on:
Are you a person who believes a cake is a delivery mechanism for that sweet, creamy icing, and they could serve it to you on an envelope as long as it was slathered in frosting?
OR:
Do you believe that a cake is about the moist, delicious cake inside, and that icing on the cake is, well.... the icing on the cake?
If you think that a (cup)cake is about the cake, YOU ARE WRONG. Do not pass Go. Return to sender. And so, having chosen the losing side in the battle, you can pleasantly skip Main Street Cupcakes.
If, however, you are on the side of rightness and goodness and warm soft puppies and you believe in the power of icing, then Main Street Cupcakes is the thin needle through which wondrous sucrose heroin flows.
Because their cupcakes are lopsided affairs, the icing sagging to one side like an old Baltimore lady with a stiff bouffant, and almost all the flavor is in the icing. The icing is delicious. It is flavorful, not that crappy cream cheese frosting that evil folk like, but the kind of rich frosting you can leave visible thumbprints in.
...and it has cake underneath.
People get pissy because OMG I CAME HERE AND I DIDN'T GET CUPCAKES, but that's part of the charm. They open up in the morning with a set supply of cupcakes, and when they're sold out - which they always do - they close the doors. Not only does that set up a lovely racing situation where it makes the cupcakes more special, but come on! Who doesn't wanna live that kind of life? You get up at 6:00 to make your cupcakes, and when the day's done you go home. Don't be a hata.
Also, you know, it means when you GET the cupcakes, they're fresh. I'm sure you could make a case that HEY, THEY SHOULD BE COOL FOR MY CONVENIENCE AND BAKE INFINITE CUPCAKES THAT STAY ON THE SHELF UNTIL THEY'RE CRUSTY AND OLD, but the truth is when you get a Main Street Cupcake, the clock is ticking. It lasts about thirty-six hours before it dries out and you're done. These are natural cupcakes.
Plus, the cupcakes come in a variety of flavors, they're always experimenting. That's great.
So it's five stars if you're on the side of the angels and their delectable frosting, Main Street Cupcakes is for you. If you're on the side of, you know, cake, then I guess you can go somewhere else. They probably cater to your kind. Not that I'd sit next to you.
