| - I am a huge cupcake fan and was so before they became trendy. I have a lot of food rules (don't like my food to touch other food, etc), so I've always loved that cupcakes were made just for me. No one had to cut the cake to give me one.. it was all mine, in a cute wrapper to boot.
If there is a cupcake on the dessert menu, I try it, so when I heard a WHOLE CAFE DEDICATED TO CUPCAKES was coming to Scottsdale, I was excited.
A friend and I went on a Friday after work. There was a line, which indicated that these were going to be the most amazing cupcakes in the world.... It was chaotic and not organized at all. I didn't know who was in line, who wasn't. Who had been helped, who hadn't.
When it was time to order we ordered 3 chocolate ones and 3 other ones... They didn't have any chocolate cupcakes ready and it was going to be an additional 20 minutes... so we got ones that weren't chocolate.
The lemon coconut was very good! The strawberry was very good. The red velvet was good. I remember not liking the cinnamon sugar one at all. The cake itself was average and the icing very sweet.
BUT they were not, out of this world-spectacular, and that is what I was expecting. I could make cupcakes that good and even better.
I will probably go back about once a year, just for fun and to try a few different flavors... but I have my picks for best desserts in Phoenix and this is not one that I will hit up very often.
