| - I'm incredibly disappointed in Cupcakes by Design. It simply didn't provide the quality you would expect from a business that sells only one product. In fact, I don't feel they delivered quality at all.
I paid $22 for 6 cupcakes. If I wasn't out of town for a week, I would have brought them back and asked for a refund. I think it says a lot when you have a dinner party and still have 5 of 6 cupcakes left over at the end of the night.
The cake portion wasn't as good as a box cake mix. I can't remember the time I've had a (cup)cake that was that lackluster. It wasn't notably moist, didn't have a distinct texture, and most importantly had zero flavor. I ordered 3 different varieties and all tasted exactly the same.
The frosting was equally disappointing. Again, none had much flavor other than "sweet." Truly, funfetti icing tastes far better.
Although taste is most important, I also feel the presentation was lacking quite a bit for cupcakes that cost nearly $4 a piece. There was no design, the frosting was kind of just thrown on top, nothing fancy in terms of bags or boxes... and what I thought was kind of funny... each cupcake had this hand-made, tacky sign stuck into it (think piece of scrap paper, hand-written flavor, taped to a tooth pick - tacky grandma's house style).
Look, I'll eat just about anything. But I wouldn't waste my time on these cupcakes ever again, and unless there's a major re-vamp here, I don't think many people would.
