| - After hearing all the raves about this place, I had to try it. It's good, but their cupcakes do not measure up with the ones at Julie Anne (or Julie Anne's lemon bars).
Our experience -- I had the Chocolate Mint and the Chocolate Peanut Butter. My husband had the Coconut and the Carrot.
The Good: Cupcakes are great for Las Vegas. It is so dry here that any normal cake, once cut, will dry out like an old sponge in an hour. A cupcake is a little piece of heaven that is eaten and gone. The cupcakes themselves are good -- not too sweet, chocolately, but not too fudgy. Every one is decorated as well as an expensive wedding cake. They LOOK gorgeous. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic. They love their work. The Chocolate Mint could become addictive.
The Not So: The Chocolate Mint, the Peanut Butter, and the Coconut use the same basic chocolate cupcake. They are good cupcakes, but I was expecting a different cupcake for every flavor. Although the Chocolate Mint was plenty minty, the Peanut Butter was no where NEAR peanuty enough for me. I love peanut butter ice cream and was expecting the same depth of flavor. The Carrot was a good cupcake, but I like a denser carrot cake, like Julie Anne makes.
I will probably go back again sometime because I pass them every time I go down Eastern, but it won't be a weekly stop for me.
