| - i was SOOOO excited that a cupcakery was finally opening in madison, and rushed over during their first week. i was a little bit disappointed when i looked into the bakery case and saw a rather homogeneous bunch of cupcakes. it was their first week, so i will cut them some slack for their utter lack of creativity. i also thought perhaps their lack of external pizazz would be compensated by really great flavor.
this was sadly not the case. the cupcake itself a little bit dry for my liking, but also very bland. it tasted like a lot of flour mixed with a little sugar, and very little else. the frosting was the real let down though. my "blueberry" frosting (recommended by the girl at the counter, who also seemed to have no idea what she was doing) tasted like butter. whipped butter. i didn't taste even a hint of blueberry, despite its tepid cornflower color. i could barely taste any sugar. it was a huge let down.
my girlfriend and i, avid cupcake lovers, couldn't finish our one little cupcake. i was so disappointed, i haven't been back since. however, a few of my friends are more forgiving, and went back. each and every time they have been disappointed. i hope that the daisy cafe can step it up and provide some tasty cupcakes- i really want to like them, and they are right down the street from me. but for now, i'll keep buying carl's cakes at montys.
