As much as I appreciate the first reviewers comments and think this store has amazing potential (I mean who wants a grocery store or Costco cake when you have this option??), they need a little work.
On the plus side, the store is beautifully designed, warm and very well laid out. All the fillings, frostings and designs plus plain cupcakes are in plain view of the customer to make it even more appetizing.
Secondly, the staff was top notch. Great customer service - I saw them answer some of stupidest questions from inane suburban mothers trying to appease their spoiled children with a warm smile and an earnest response.
The only reason this place got 3 stars is the actual cupcake building. We ordered:
1) Peanut Butter Madness (?) cupcake with peanut butter creme and peanut butter frosting with a Nutter Butter Peanut butter cookie on top (just to make sure we a had sugar coma later). The cupcake was dry, the filling was decent and the frosting was spot on fantastic.
2) Lemon Strawberry Madness: a lemon cupcake with strawberry filling and frosting. Now you'd think this would've been a fantastic treat, but the cupcake just fell apart on us (very dry) and had no flavor. We were disappointed.
My last comment is aesthetic. The frosting design was middle-of-the-road. There was no "height" to the cupcake (everyone on display was sunken, it should go at least to the top of the wrapper). I know Las Vegas' suburbs are very non-challenging (anyone notice all the strip malls?????). But man, this was just too plain. I guess I'm spoiled by the cupcake wars of Chicago & NY.
In all, there's a lot of of potential and I hope they do well. I just don't see spending $3.25/cupcake for 20 people yet. But I will once I see that they can step it up just a tad on the cupcake's taste.
