are there any good cupcake places in the city? i kept passing this place and finally got the urge to spoil myself. prices are the same you'd find at any other cupcake place (approx $3 per cupcake and $15 for 6). the store itself was very clean, cute, and smelled nice. the cupcakes on display looked wonderful but here is a classic case of judging a book by its cover. just because they look great doesn't mean they are.
i ordered 6 for $15 and got:
cookies&cream
red velvet
s'more
very vanilla
some caramel one (don't remember the name)
pecan pie
i went home and tried a small piece of each cupcake to be able to taste them accurately, not days later when they wouldn't be fresh anymore. to be honest, i was expecting to be blown away but was not. every cupcake was dry, stale and nearly flavorless. there was a nice chocolate surprise in the middle but that too was hard like it was frozen prior and failed to impress. i was really disappointed with the cupcakes and money spent. the only one i could get into was the cookies & cream. i literally had to stop eating the others because i felt nauseated. i wouldn't return here but if you're in the neighborhood i would say it doesn't hurt to try one considering they look so pretty. it's unfortunate i did not have a good experience here, i am still on the hunt for the best cupcakes.
