| - Considering that I work AND live very close-by, my co-workers and I frequent this little shop quite a bit.
This review is based upon the macaroons, milkshakes, smoothies, and cupcakes. I have not tried their coffee as I am not a fan of coffee in general, but my co-workers have no complaints!
The decor is super modern, cute and trendy! Very nice touch with a big flat-screen TV in front also, talk about eye-catching. The cupcake displays are so cute! Big clear cases, with sleek cupcake holders! Definitely a grab-and-go sort of place, seeing as there is no real seating area, but there are chairs and 2 small tables just in case you'd like to enjoy your cupcake right away.
I have to say, the first time I got to try a cupcake from here, my boss bought a dozen. I thought they were a bit dry at first, but I gave them a pass seeing as they had JUST opened, and we expected them to be working out kinks in recipes and etc.
Fast forward to the present..
I must say, Don, the owner, has definitely stepped his game up within the past half year he's been open! I don't know if he's changed the recipes around, or something, but, it's much better than my first experience!
Three days ago, my boyfriend and I stopped in to by a half dozen just before closing. Of course, he bakes fresh everyday, so there weren't as many selections at the end of the night, but the ones we came home with were AMAZING.
I have to say, the "Wedding Cake" cupcake is SO LIGHT AND DELICIOUS. It looks plain, and maybe too sweet at first, but it was not overwhelming at all! The right amount of flavor, texture, and yes, it was MOIST! I also tried a "German Chocolate" which was promising already because there were coconut shavings all over the top, and it did not disappoint. Again,moist, and not overly sweet, like The Cupcakery's cupcakes can be at times. I was quite happy with our selections.
On other occasions, because I am lucky enough to work so close, Don frequently comes in to give us some leftover cupcakes, since he bakes daily. The Pina Colada is SO GOOD. I always grab that one first! My co-worker likes the Mint Cupcake, most.
Also, we tend to get shakes and smoothies quite often. I've become a fan of their Strawberry Chocolate Banana milkshake (minus the banana, so i guess it's just the Strawberry Chocolate) and the Hawaiian Holiday. I also got a Vanilla Bean once, and I loved it! It may take a bit for the shakes to come out, but I happen to think they are worth the wait.
The macaroons, are another success IMO. My manager loved their strawberry macaroons and let me try some. I had only known of coconut macaroons up to that point, and I had never tried a french style macaroon, so this was definitely a treat. They were delicate and YUUUUUUUUMMY. They also sell lemon flavor, and if I'm not mistaken, vanilla. I have not tried vanilla, but I prefer the strawberry to the lemon any day!
I wish Don and Project Cupcake all the best! I will continue recommend this place and send all my customers, family, and friends over!!
