~~Atmosphere~~
Very cute decor and wireless internet! The shop is very inviting... lots of seating and it's never overcrowded. The website is awesome. It's really hard to give such a creative and darling place a low star rating, but I haven't truly been wowed (yet) by the cupcakes that I've had.
Now let's talk cupcakes: The search for America's Next Top Cupcake
~~Cupcake Decor~~
The piping is very visually appealing. Pretty. Makes you say ooh and ahh, and ponder over which one you should eat. The use of sprinkles give a nice touch.
~~Cake~~
I agree with the other posters, the cake is a bit on the dry side. I don't know if this is because of the open case, or just the recipe, but I was disappointed. I have heard that the red velvet cake is great (but always sold out when I have visited!!). The vanilla cake favor also seemed a bit too understated...
~~Icing/ Frosting~~
Not sweet enough... I had the vanilla-vanilla, which was more like bland-bland. I don't need frosting to taste like twinkie filling (gross), but this frosting could have used a punch in the sweetness department. I tried my friend's vanilla- chocolate, which was a bit better, but not by much.
~~Icing/Cake Ratio~~
A lot of icing (on some flavors). Almost enough cake.
~~Overall~~
Interesting, but not wow.
