| - General Bakery Presentation: Bright, clean, well-kept shop with friendly counter staff.
Light and "airy" with good window view of the San Tan surroundings.
Cupcakes Tasted:
Cherry Limeade (top right in picture below; cherry cake with "lime"-type frosting, almost reminiscent of the Sonic drink; couldn't find this flavor listed as one of their traditional, gourmet, or season flavors on the website, but worth trying nonetheless)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (top left in picture below; we could not find a description of this cupcake on the website either, but it appeared to be a vanilla based cake with chocolate chips, a vanilla cream frosting with cookie dough on top and "secretly" in the cupcake itself - see below)
Very Strawberry (bottom cupcake in picture below; Strawberry Cake with Strawberry enriched Buttercream)
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Cupcakes
Cupcake Break-Down: All Cupcakes received between a 7 out of 10 to 9 out of 10 rating, giving Caketini a 8 out of 10 rating in general.
Cherry Limeade: the initial impression of this cupcake, was "very pink", but "looked cool" with its bright pink and green going on. We rated this cupcake a 7/10. The cake itself was moist with a good texture, but did not seem to truly reflect a cherry flavor. The icing or "limeade" had a good texture/flavor and was "not too limey" so as to overpower the cake.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: we rated this cupcake a 8.0 to 8.5/10. The icing was a little sweet and didn't seem to somehow match the cake, but was otherwise really good and we are "always happy to find a cookie dough ball in the middle of a cupcake". This pleasant surprise (a neat trick) made this a favorite for some of the group.
Very Strawberry: we rated this cupcake a 8.5 to 9/10. The cake was good, moist, with equally good frosting and an appropriate amount of strawberry flavoring in each. Not overpowering or underwhelming in nature, even for those in the group who do not enjoy strawberry flavoring.
Positives: Bigger portions than we had seen at the other cupcake stores/bakeries visited so far. The cakes were fresh, moist, good texture, "cakey" enough, with a good well-rounded selection of flavors and creative icing flavors.
Negatives: We found mostly Positives here. Occasionally the frosting flavors were a little sweet, but not overwhelmingly so.
General Comments: One of our favorites so far. A surprising front runner for some of our group who had not had as positive an experience in the past, but for today's tasting, this store was a Group Favorite and we would recommend the cake, flavor adventures, and creativity to anyone. Especially for the "cookie dough surprise".
We loved the way the Cherry Limeade cupcake looked!!
