Aren't you a bakery or is this a front?\n\nAnd then it hit me, this bakery only makes cakes and cupcakes. Cookies are not in their repertoire. However, I ask myself, \"Then why do you sell cookies?\"\n\nIt's clear that this is only a cupcake/cake store. That's all they make in the premises. They do sell other baked goods, too, like cookies and macaroons and rice krispies treats and caramel popcorn but clearly, these products are ordered elsewhere.\n\nThen why didn't the staffer explain that. Instead, I was met with the \"No, stupid\" look.\n\nAnyway...\n\nI have ordered dozens of cupcakes here...dozens! Not for me but for my clients' clients. Never really tasted any of them until this unfortunate Friday. Of course, I ordered my favorite, red velvet cupcake. My companion--an espresso cupcake.\n\nI must say that the espresso cupcake was very good. The taste of espresso can definitely be tasted and the moistness of the cupcake was up to par. Espresso-infused buttercream frosting topped this creation, which made the espresso cupcake creation true to its flavor.\n\nThe red velvet cake, however, was disappointing. In all seriousness, it was just some bland tasting white cake that was given some red food coloring...blech! Where's the hint of dark chocolate? And is that supposed to be cream cheese frosting? Probably not. The frosting was nothing more than buttercream, which is such a bummer. Classic red velvet needs cream cheese frosting, in my humble opinion.\n\nAs far as presentation of cakes and cupcakes goes, it is alluring and appetizing. And this is exactly why I come here and purchase cupcakes for my client's cllients. The cupcakes look enticing and a feast for the eyes. \n\nI'm sure the other flavors of cupcakes are just fine--good enough to give as gifts.\n\nBut the red velvet cupcake...heck, go to Fresh and Easy and just buy theirs in the refrigerated section. It's better."^^ . . . "2010-09-21T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "3"^^ .
