Picked up 2 cup cakes here recently. This shop has very friendly and attentive staff. We bought a Red Velvet Cupcake and a strawberry short cake cupcake. I wanted desperately to enjoy the RV cupcake from this store, but it was seriously disappointing. It very well maybe the worst I have had in Phoenix. The cake itself had a chocolaty flavor, but too chocolaty for RVC. The cake wasn't very moist either. The icing was sweet and smooth;however, it did not taste like the cream cheese frosting that I enjoy on the RVC's I've eaten for years across the SE USA.
I judge a bakery by their RVC! BUT, the saving grace of the day was the temptingly luscious and delicious strawberry shortcake. Unfortunately, it had a cream filling that was just as unappealing to the eyes as it was to the taste buds. We ate around that filling and were.pleased with the taste and moist-enough texture of the cake. The color was beautiful and given the fact that I love icing, the mound of icing on top was a special treat.
I would not get cupcakes from this place. They are very pretty, but I can go for a nice looking cupcake that tastes better and most likely costs less.
