| - I don't eat cake (or cupcakes) very often, but when I do I would expect better than what I experienced at Cupcakes by Design...especially for $3.50 for ONE cupcake.
They are visually nice. Simple and not too much frosting. In my book, frosting is the side in this main meal...the cake. There's no need to overdue it, because i'm just going to take most of it off. Anyway. The frosting left much to be desired...and after tasting the cake, I wish the frosting had something more to help me choke down the cake.
The cake lacked moisture, and was overbaked in some areas (old oven maybe?) and it just wasn't delicious at all. I went for the salted caramel cupcake, hoping it would knock my socks off. Welp...my socks are still there...nowhere close to hitting the floor.
It was filled with this brown goo that tasted nothing like caramel, and the consistency was wrong too. What was this exactly?
Now, normally i don't disect my cupcakes, but after being told these were the best cupcakes in the valley, I felt the need to taste every part of these in order to accept this statement. After tasting each part seperately (frosting, cake, filling) I lumped them all together and was STILL disappointed.
I'm sorry Cupcakes by Design, but you just didn't cut it for me this time. I'll try you one last time in hopes that I received a bad batch.
Until then....
