My mother-in-law told me these cupcakes were to die for. I smarted off, "I don't really feel like dying today."
From Red Robin we walked quickly across the parking lot in the June desert heat to The Cupcakery.
A cake in the shape of the cutest sandcastle caught my attention immediately. Then rows of colorful cupcakes started yelling, "Pick me, pick me." So, I bought 4 different ones.
CUPCAKES - $3.50 each
- carrot - we ate this one inside the store. It was so soft. Delectable.
- hummingbird - this is the one that we had to keep cold. There's so much fruit jam-packed in this little baby. Mmmm, mmm good.
- Lemon Berry - hands down my favorite of the 4 I tried. The guy that helped us declared that this flavor is very popular with kids. I'm such a kid for... "zesty lemon cake topped with a fruity blueberry frosting"
- strawberry - this one was of course mainly for our kids, but they let me try it. It was certainly a hit for them. I didn't mind it, but it wasn't close to being my favorite.
They also make the aforementioned custom cakes and cake pops (saw some super cute "BB-8" ones on their social media). Plus, they sell candles and other last minute items.
TIPS
- they didn't offer it when I was there, but I noticed that there is a Yelp checkin offer - "20% off in store assorted cupcake orders"
- there's another location on Mead Blvd.
