| - I cannot believe I haven't gotten around to rating my first 5 star rated business. Sweetcakes IS as good as it gets.
The cupcakes list changes every day, go online to see that days choices. http://sweetcakesbakery.com/FlavorSchedule.aspx. Once they're sold out for the day they are out for the day. You can purchase 1 or 2, or a box of 4, box of 6 or box of 12 in attractive, gift-worthy boxes. They'll wrap in plastic if you don't plan to serve until the following day and they recommend never refrigerating. They are right, do not refrigerate!
Sweetcakes is one of those things that when you give one to an unsuspecting person they take a bite, look at you in disbelief and become a convert before it's done. I have been converting people for years now, bringing a dozen to a new mother, or a dozen in for a coworkers birthday or, as you can tell by the Wildcat paw, we order them frequently for use at the college.
The Salted Caramel is far and away my favorite. Chocolate cake with a caramel bite on the inside and (I guess) salted caramel frosting with a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt. The Davidson Wildcat paw chocolate on chocolate cupcake we special order for official visit recruits to give as a welcoming treat. I could describe each cupcake at length but if you look at my pictures you'll get a fair idea of what you're getting.
I do think they should get rolls of stickers with the name of each cupcake on them so they could be attached to the inside of the box before leaving the store. I have to run back home and write them all down before I forget and I think that would be prettier and classier.
Prices are $3.25 for one and $35.75 for a dozen. If you buy less than a dozen you can use your punchcard to earn a free cupcake! They also offer mini cupcakes if you're dying for just a bite at $1.25 each but the full size ones are just a stitch moister and more delicious, so why not splurge and treat yourself to one? They are closed Sundays and Mondays (it's odd how many times I've needed to get cupcakes for some event on a Monday!). Oh, and if you get the Peppermint Pattie cupcake it needs to go in it's own box because the peppermint aroma permeates the others. I'm not superstitious so I just buy a dozen plus a peppermint pattie one, 13 doesn't bother me ;)
