| - I so wanted to like this place...
Drove out 20 minutes to try these, since I'd read that these were super-moist, super-tasty, etc etc. I got the strawberry lemonade (lemon cake, strawberry filling and frosting) and the chocolate (all 3 layers chocolate).
I really expected better of $3 (then plus tax!) cupcakes.
The lemon was psychedelically yellow, and actually, for all that, without much lemon taste. Moist at least, though. The strawberry filling reminded me of something from childhood-- I then realized it looked and tasted just like the fluorescent pink liquid antibiotic (amoxicillin) you take as a kid, that has to be kept refrigerated. The bright pink frosting was wayyyy too sweet, and tasted completely artificial. Couldn't manage more than a bite or two.
Chocolate cake had similar problems... moist cake, but not better than you could make from a box of cake mix. Frosting and filling were also too sweet.
It's a perfect 75 degrees now in October in Vegas, but the frosting for both rapidly turned into a runny goo.
Um... yeah... cute store, but I won't be coming back.
