| - I'm not sure why the filtered review was filtered, but I almost agree with that review. this review is for their cupcakes only.
dozen leaves a lot to be desired. one of the main things behind opening a decent gourmet cupcake bakery is to create a great base for your cupcakes. the cake portion of all 8 or 9 different varieties of cupcakes I've tried have been incredibly dry, more so than those I'd find at a supermarket. I find myself having to supplement the consumption of these cupcakes with a large glass of milk.
the second problem (and the only other component of a cupcake) is their frosting. the frosting is much too airy and sugary. again, much like the base, this dries the mouth out, and i have to drown out the taste of the cupcake/frosting with my glass of milk.
i typically compare the red velvets of the cupcake bakeries i try, since it's one of the more basic ones, and it's almost found at all gourmet cupcake bakeries. my preference still lies with sprinkles. although sprinkles' cupcakes are 75 cents more ($3.25 each), they have the most incredibly moist cake, along with the relatively thick and rich cream cheese frosting (on their red velvet). if you find that you tried sprinkles, and actually preferred a cupcake to have a different consistency, then i invite you to try this place, just for comparison.
overall, the store layout is cute, along with the appearance of their cupcakes, and i have to admit that i have not tried their other baked goods.
i do crave cupcakes (as i have a huge sweet tooth) pretty often; it's just unfortunate that this is the only location near school that i can frequent.
