| - We tried two cupcakes last night: the vegan margarita and a chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganache. Total: $5.00. The chocolate cupcake was very dry, and the thin layer of ganache didn't help. Maybe if there was more icing on top, to balance it out, it would have been better.
The vegan margarita cupcake was yummy and very moist. I didn't really taste much of the supposed tequila-lime flavors, outside of the slice of lime on top (cute touch), but it was a good vanilla cupcake. The icing is sweet enough without being too gritty with sugar.
The storefront is cute and decorated well. It was empty when we went in, but seems like it could accommodate an after-dinner rush easily. I think it's irritating that the cupcakes in the case aren't labeled, and the clerk didn't seem too happy to tell us which were which. If it's such an inconvenience to you, make some labels and then I wouldn't have to ask.
Overall conclusion: I'm sticking to the vegan cupcakes, despite being a vehement non-vegan, since they seem to be moister. (I had heard the same thing about Dozen's cupcakes.) If they started carrying puppy cupcakes, as the other cupcake bakeries I've been to do, it would be the cherry on top of... well, on top of a yummy cupcake.
