It's strange to write a review after much time has past. I guess I still haven't let go of my disappointment with the way my cupcakes tasted on my wedding day. Today, while I was searching for a cupcake company to order a dozen cupcakes to be delivered to some friends in Toronto (I just moved to Vancouver), I was reminded of the cupcakes that were ordered for my wedding a year ago.
The experience at the store was good. My then fiance (now husband) and I took our time with trying out the flavours and finally decided what our wedding cupcakes would be. The lady serving us was neither cool nor really friendly, just right down the middle. That was fine with us. The disappointing part of the experience with this company was on the wedding day - and frankly, the most important day of this entire process. The cupcakes were extremely sweet, unlike the ones we tasted in the store and we tasted quite a bit of cupcakes that day. However on the wedding day, my husband and I didn't even finish our own cupcake (we ordered a bigger one just for us).
We saved one cupcake of each flavour to remember our wedding by and tried to finish them over the course of the week since we didn't leave right away for our honeymoon. Each cupcake was sweeter than the next, sweet not in a good way. The Wedding Cake Shoppe makes fluffy cakes but someone definitely made a mistake with the cream/toppings and was very heavy handed with the sugar.
I like the store front and I really want to like everything about them but my personal experience has left a 'sour' taste in my mouth.
