| - I LOVE gourmet cupcakes, and was incredibly stoked to see that there was going to be a cupcake shop relatively nearby. I came in on their opening day. The staff was friendly, and the shop was cute, but they were only displaying four cupcake flavors. On opening day, I would expect a better showcase of their flavors, but their staff explained how they will be more in the future. Their staff was very friendly and informative.
I ordered a Cookie Monster, Kahlua, and Pink Pistachio Champagne (that may not be the exact name) I hurried home and shared these with my boyfriend. Being a cupcake gourmet lover, (and Cupcake Wars addict) I kind of have high standards. I dug into the Pink Pistachio champagne first. Not sure if I got a bad batch, but the cake was on the dry side. The frosting was nice and smooth and decorated really nice.
The Kahlua might have been the most moist, and the Kahlua flavor was definitely there. (Maybe a little too much) but the texture of the cake was better than the last. Lastly, the Cookie Monster. I liked the bits cookies inside and their decoration was cute. The frosting looked and tasted a little too artificial in my opinion, and the cake was on the dry side too.
All in all, I was a bit disappointed by Pixy Cakes. I don't usually give negative reviews, and believe that they have huge opportunity to improve. I will probably be checking by again in a few months to see if they have any other flavors that I might enjoy.
