This absolutely baffles me, because Dozen is to cupcakes as China is to consumer goods, if China somehow managed to convince us into paying top dollar for its crap.\n\nI've eaten at least a half-dozen cupcakes from Dozen before, and each time I genuinely hope that my past experiences were just flukes, and that they'll prove me wrong in my conviction that Dozen has business just because they can decorate well and girls are suckers for pretty baked goods. \n\nI love cupcakes. I really do. And that's why Dozen peeves me so much; it has terrible cupcakes, and yet people still flock to it for some reason. Every cupcake I've had from Dozen has been cloyingly sweet, even without the frosting, and has the consistency and dryness of a dense week-old muffin. Yes, I ate them fresh.\n\nSave yourself the cash and 'experience' and go hit up Coldstone one door down for the red velvet ice cream cupcakes."^^ . . . "1"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . .
