| - I have reviewed this place before but somehow it disappeared. They aren't my favorite bakery but they aren't the worst either. They serve a purpose and if you are on this side of town they are certainly worth checking out!
They offer a variety of flavors that rotate daily. I have tried everything from peanut butter cup, to french toast, irish cream, cookies and cream, margarita, pumpkin spice, to plain vanilla vanilla. They are definitely "top heavy" so if you don't like icing, don't bother. The icing is super sweet and stiff so you have to like that texture/flavor.
I used to find the cake part to be a little dry but my most recent visit chaned my opinion slightly. I found the cake to be pretty moist...a little crumbly and a bit bland but better than I remembered from times past. I am not a fan of the price at roughly $3 per cupcake because the size of the actual cupcake is not any bigger than any other place, but the icing just makes it seem like so much more. Not cool.
Also, beware--the shop is rather small but they have all types of gifts and candy you can indulge in while visiting in case the cupcakes aren't sweet enough for you! However, they also have a couple long tables where they host little kid parties. Kids can come and decorate their own cupcake with all the sprinkles and candy and whatever else is available. I was a victim customer this past visit because there was a little kid party when I walked in to pick up some cupcakes to go. There were screaming kids and babies with icing-covered faces running all over the place. It was annoying to say the least and the place isn't big enough to make it comfortable.
Again, not a bad place. I don't make my way out to the Blakeney area often but it is worth stopping in if in the area!
