Your nostrils perk up, and your mind and stomach begin to negotiate on whether there is room for more after just eating some breakfast once you walk into the establishment that is Dozen Bake Shop.
While their non-cupcake baked goods look scrumptious, we picked up a dozen random assortment of their cupcakes for dinner at a friend's house later that day.
I'm not sure what I am suppose to expect when someone tells me that a cupcake is great and even after watching so many Cupcake War episodes on Food Network though I know I like mine to be light. I had two cupcakes - the vanilla and cranberry. Both had nice flavors but ultimately felt that they were a bit doughy and heavy. However I am not a big frosting person and did like those flavors. They were nicely decorated. If I were to return to Dozen I would try something else.
