| - To start with, I've never had a cupcake that I regret, so I may be a bit biased.
Now to the important bits...as others have said, the decor here is not for the faint of heart, it's a cross between Hello Kitty and Disney World, but it's a good fit for what they're going for here. I've been to plenty of other cupcakeries that go for the sleek aesthetic, and I haven't found that either style is a good predictor of taste or quality.
On to the matter at hand, the confections. There were about 6-5 flavors on hand when I went in, none that really screamed at me, but I knew I would at least try the Red Velvet since that's my go to, and after much deliberation, I picked the Chocolate Chip Cookie as the second. I was there at the very end of the day, so I was actually prepared to find the cake to be a little dry, but I was pleasantly surprised to find them moist and full of flavor. The chocolate chips weren't well dispersed in the cake, they had settled in the bottom which was a little annoying, but I got by. Now, for the key element with all cupcakes, the icing. I know that people fall on either side of the debate about icing amount, but I prefer less than more. And here, I had an odd experience. The RV had the perfect amount of icing, while the CC was struggling to stay upright under the weight of all that icing. The taste was pretty good, but just to overwhelming for the amount of cake.
All in all a nice experience, as others have said, a little pricey, but I don't mind paying a little more to keep places open if they're good. We'll be back for more in the future, maybe sooner rather than later since they were kind enough to give me a coupon for a free cupcake to celebrate their 5 year anniversary!
