I've been looking for a good cupcake company after a horrid experience at Sprinkles. Knowing I had been craving a good lemon cupcake with a light taste, my boyfriend got four cupcakes here after I gave birth to our son. I loved them but for very specific reasons:
- First of all I'm not a big frosting fan, so it's nice to actually have a place that doesn't mask the taste of it's cupcake with massive amounts of frosting. The frosting that was there was delicious.
- I do not like a heavy flavor in my cupcake and that's what Cupcakes by Design provides. The lemon cupcake had the exact amount of lemon flavor I was craving for months. The cherry was perfect. I love the fact that their banana cupcake IS NOT a banana muffin texture (like some other places). And my boyfriend loved their peanut butter cupcake.
- They have a good variety of cupcakes and the fillings are good as well, but not necessarily needed.
We'll definitely be frequenting this place.
