| - To be clear, I am cake type person rather than cupcake type person so I do not ask much of my cupcakes. I have tried Sprinkles and another cupcake specialty place that used to be at Arrowhead Mall -so memorable that I can't even remember the name and at each place, the cupcakes were tasty but unexpectedly on the drier side. Perhaps, this is why I rarely expect much of cupcakes from stores. I enjoy them if they are simply: sweet, moist, and have a thick creamy butter cream frosting. I've tasted a few cakes that have achieved near perfection in these categories but have yet to find a cupcake that comes even close.
I stumbled across this bakery while hanging out with my friend and we both decided to get the 12 pack of mini cupcakes to give them a try. I mistreated the cupcakes by dragging them around all day running errands and leaving them in the car at times when it was around 109 degrees outside. By the time I got home, the perfectly shaped frosting was half melted, and I thought, "Great. I really ruined them!" But, I decided to try one anyway. It was sweet, it was moist, and I was pleasantly surprised that there was filling. Even my hubby who is very anti-cupcake really enjoyed his cupcake. We placed the remaining in the fridge to re-cool and ate them like popcorn (since they were so mini) as an after dinner treat.
I hadn't done my homework on this place and neglected to read the reviews before randomly stopping in this bakery. I'm glad I got a chance to stop in, because I actually really liked my cucpakes from here and I am surprised by some of the harsh reviews. Whether I'm just missing something or the mini cucpakes are superior to the regular sized ones, I will definitely include this bakery when and if I get a craving or receive a need for cupcakes. FYI...the mini pack included red velvet (with cream cheese frosting/filling), lemon (with lemon compote filling), strawberry (with strawberry jelly filling), chocolate (with chocolate filling), chocolate (with vanilla filling), and vanilla (with chocolate filling). There were 2 of each flavor I mentioned.
