| - I wanted to fall in love with Sunflour so badly. I love local bakeries, I love places that use locally sourced ingredients, and I LOVE cupcakes. This place, based on all the Yelp reviews, seemed like the perfect place for me. I stopped by when I was in the neighborhood, and I was so disappointed!
I tried a caramel cupcake--vanilla cake with a caramel filling and caramel icing. And it was one of the worst cupcakes I've ever had. It is rare that I pay $3.25 cents for a cupcake and throw half of it away, but that is exactly what I did. The icing had a good flavor, but there wasn't a lot of it. The carmel ribbon inside the cupcake was so thin that I only tasted it in a bite or two (and I take small bites when savoring something so sweet), and it had seemed to drip down to the bottom, where the bottom of the cupcake was soggy. The big problem, however, was the cake. The cake was so dense--wasn't light or fluffy at all--that I could barely eat it. It felt like I was eating a pound cake--not a cupcake. The flavor was okay--not too strong on the vanilla.
I think I will go back and try something else and update my review accordingly, because I honestly don't believe that I ate at the same place that all of these folks raved about. Maybe there was just an off batch or something.
I like the idea of Sunflour so much that I had to give it to stars, but the cupcake would be 1 in my book.
