If only I could do a rating of 3.75, but such is life.
I had never even heard of this place, but I was looking for a way to have a dessert for my assistant's baby shower. I didn't want to go with the bog-standard vanilla sponge cake with sugary icing. Cupcakes are all the rage, and this one is very close to the office, so why not.
Ordering for delivery was very easy with the website. With a minimum order of 2 dozen you get free delivery, which is a god-send for anyone placing a cupcake order for an office function. The cupcakes were delivered an hour before the scheduled baby shower, which was wonderful - gave me a chance to setup the room without too much worries.
The cakes were a hit, especially the red velvet with vanilla icing.
It was suggested that placing an order for 2 dozen of regular sized cupcakes wouldn't be enough for a department of 17, but the cupcakes were so lush and filling that there was plenty of leftovers. We just couldn't stuff ourselves with so much goodness or we'd all have been like Mr Creoste from Monty Python's "Meaning of Life" - exploding with just one more mouthful.
I'm not the greatest fan of cupcakes, to be honest, but these more than lived up to expectation. And there is now a desire by other departments in my company to use this firm instead of getting a cake at Longo's or Metro.
