| - Oh dear. How I wanted to love this place! The primary turn-off for us was the brunette working at 6p on Thursday, November 7. When asked if she liked the cupcakes she was serving compared to Sprinkles, she said she didn't really know. When asked several questions about ingredients and flavors, she said she didn't know. When asked how I could determine which flavors were available on any given day, she said she didn't know but that I 'could call every morning.' When I suggested they put their daily flavors on their website, she airily commented, 'Yeah, I guess they should do that.' She was quite indifferent to us and seemed like she would rather be anywhere else but there.
As to the cupcakes, we spent $44 on a dozen - three chocolate-chocolate, one pumpkin, two red velvet, one chocolate with powdered sugar, three cherry pie cupcakes, and two carrot cakes. I was very surprised at what seemed (and tasted) like canned cherry pie filling in the cherry pie cupcakes! Quite disappointed at the overwhelmingly sweet frosting on the remainder of the cakes that left that filmy, lard-y feeling in the roof of your mouth. The chocolate cakes were all very, very dry.
As an avid baker, chef and unofficial local cupcake connoisseur, I was deeply disappointed in both the service and the product.
