| - Save your calories, folks, these cupcakes are not worth it.
As a self-professed cupcake connoisseur, it's my personal mission to try any cupcake within a reasonable (and sometimes not so reasonable) distance. This place was not only a waste of my money, but my time and, more importantly, my calories.
It was easy enough to find if you self-park at The Palazzo and everything was deceivingly beautiful, but this beauty went only as deep as the whipped buttercream. And when I say whipped, I mean like the nasty whipped stuff you get on cheap cakes at a grocery store. What a buzz kill! Who buys a $3.25 cupcake (we tried several- suffice it to say they all sucked) only to get a mouthful of dry cupcake topped with WHIPPED icing? The only redeeming quality to their signature Sweet Surrender cupcake was these little chocolate rice balls that looked like pearls on top. They were tasty, but little decorative balls do not a cupcake make.
Their red velvet was better, but still nowhere near the quality I've experienced elsewhere (Retro Bakery, Gigi's...). The frosting tasted someone scooped it straight from a container with a dash of sweet. Very dense, very cream cheesy--it would not be my go-to frosting of choice and I am a huge fan of cream cheese frosting!
I would not go back to this place, in fact, I would avoid it at all costs.... There are SO many better places in town!
