| - Come on guys, really? I actually just finished this cupcake that I was really excited to try and I am glad to say that at least I didn't buy more than one. That was the sorriest excuse for a cupcake I have ever experienced. Well, probably not EVER ever, but at least in a long time.
I had no idea this place existed until two days ago, even though my gym is in the same complex. I saw a friend post pictures of cupcakes on facebook and stalked until someone asked where she got them. Upon finding out, I went to look them up and convinced my husband we needed to try them. After the amazing experience I have had at Mind Over Batter in Tempe, I wasn't expecting what I got today.
We walk in and the first thing we see, and I should have taken this as a bad sign, are three very large, old women buying dozens of cupcakes. Apparently they have two different sizes, large and standard, and when one of these large old women asked why in the world anyone would ever want a standard sized cupcake, my husband commented to me "because of obesity." I still laugh about his comment. These cupcakes are larger than necessary and I am sure loved by all those overweight, but they should have the standard size out for those of us who don't feel like eating 5 1/2 oz of cupcake in a single sitting. I ordered the strawberry cupcake because that is what I base every cake company on, and my husband ordered the fox 10 cupcake. The whole time workers kept trying to give us forks even though twice I told them I didn't want one. Were they trying to tell me something? I don't know. They also didn't seem very friendly at all. The credit card machine also takes FOREVER!
We drive down to my husbands school where we were heading and start to dig in. The frosting is SO gritty. It is also covered in glitter, which I didn't find appealing. And why the hell is there so much of it?? I scraped off all of the frosting and just ate the cake, which was also just as bad. I didn't try my husbands cake, which was chocolate, but mine was weird and tasted a lot like kool-aid or fruit punch, or something. I have never had a strawberry cupcake taste so artificial. Oh wait, yes I have. Its called a box mix. It tasted just like it came out of a box. There were red chunks of something in my cake batter. Not sure what the hell those were. Gummies? Not real strawberries that's for sure.
What a waste of $7. Please, for God sakes. Hit up Mind Over Batter in Tempe if you want a really good cupcake. This place does not deliver at all.
