Great little local bakery that everyone raves about~ I thought I would give it a try and since I was hosting an upcoming baby shower it was the perfect opportunity.
I thought I had left plenty of time prior to the event to get 2 dozen custom cupcakes made. Enough time for cupcakes, yes. Enough for custom cupcakes, nope. I was pretty disappointed since I have seen their beautiful cake designs. But I guess it was my mistake.
I ordered both vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and they dressed them with a light blue icing for the celebration theme. I took them home and decorated them myself with supplies from a craft store. I must have saved some money not having them custom done which was a blessing in disguise since I didn't ask the price when I ordered them and was shocked (knock me over with a feather kind of shock) when I paid. But again I didn't ask when I ordered so once again, my fault.
The cupcakes were a hit at the party with many people giving their compliments. I would have passed them off as my own except there was the bakery box evidence that I did not dispose of ;-)
To summarize, I didn't get what I wanted and had to pay the gross domestic product of a small country to get it, both being my own fault and lesson learned. BUT everyone loved the cupcakes (I can't review the taste as I don't like cupcakes and didn't eat one) and that is ultimatley what matters most.
