Mad Hatter Cupcakes is a create-your-own-cupcake store. You select the type of cake, filling, frosting and even topping. Sounds like a cool concept as long as the place can deliver quality cakes...
I stopped in with a friend after lunch and decided to get a half dozen cupcakes. I had fun with the process because of all the different options I had. There was only one employee working, and he could have been more upbeat but he wasn't surly or anything.
The first cupcake I tried was the lemon with strawberry filling and frosting (one of the signature flavors called Strawberry Lemonade). The lemon cake was moist, coupled with the strawberry filling it was almost too moist.The super bright neon pink frosting was very sweet but the slight tartness of the lemon cake evened it out a bit. The topping was a strawberry gummy which was a bit hard. Next time I think I will skip the toppings, they are mainly geared at kids.
The second cupcake I tried was the banana with strawberry filling and frosting. This cupcake also very moist, it felt a little greasy. I definitely preferred the flavor of the lemon.
6 cupcakes were $15 plus tax, which is slightly discounted (single cupcakes run $3) You save more if you buy a full dozen. Not even close to the best cupcake ever, but they were a sweet treat and the experience was fun, so I am going with a middle-of-the-road 3 star rating.
Since I am rarely in the area, I doubt I will be back soon... It's not worth a special trip in my opinion.
