Gahhhhh after walking the mall for awhile I got a sweet craving and remembered that there was a cupcake store in this mall so I decided to go for my favorite red velvet cupcake.
So the store front is cute - like most cupcake places (sprinkles, dots, crumbs, you name it they are all the same cute o store fronts..hehe) Anyways that's besides the point....well the cupcakes look very good not to mention really big too! So I was really excited to get my red velvet cupcake - it didn't look as fancy or pretty but I wouldn't have really cared as long as it tasted good.....however....unfortunately it wasn't very good tasting either. The frosting was lacking cream cheese...it says it's the classic cream cheese butter-cream frosting but I know cream cheese frosting and this just didn't make the cut. I love cream cheese frosting and I know how it tastes - this one tasted like the simple classic butter-cream frosting to me - the frosting is the most important part besides the quality of the cake batter (if it's moist or dry or does it crumble easily or clumps together) well the cake itself was okay - it wasn't super moist nor dry so I'll let it pass...but the frosting was the most disappointing part for me because even though it says it's classic cream cheese frosting I just can't believe it because it didn't taste like it at all.
Funny how this place is going to compete on the TV show Cupcake Wars too. Well I do give them credit for being $0.25 cheaper than the other cupcake bakeries and their cupcakes are larger than standard size cupcakes which most places serve.
Would I try this place again? Well I'll give them a benefit of a doubt and try their other flavors next time....but I'm not even half finish with my red velvet cupcake...heh
