~~Atmosphere~~
Small... cramped... not a sit down and savor your cupcake kind of place. But no biggie - I can handle eating cupcakes in the privacy of my home. However I was disappointed that the guy behind the counter wasn't very friendly... I mean he wasn't like Soup Nazi for cupcakes or anything, but he seemed cold. And cupcake stores are supposed to be warm, sugary and inviting, right? They do give out free Dozen buttons, so that made me a teeny bit happy.

~~Cupcake Decor~~
Decorators take an creative approach, which steers away from that "store- bought" look. The icing is has a lot of height, while also exposing some of cake of the cupcake. Some flavors have a light touch of sprinkles, coconut, and other garnishes.
~~Cake~~
There is a sign up informing customers that the cupcakes are meant to be eaten the day they are bought. I can understand that - flavors dissipate, etc etc. But cake shouldn't turn rock hard the next day! What is up with that? I mean it should up for at least an extra day! Anyways, the cupcake I ate on the day of purchase was a tad dry.
~~Icing/ Frosting~~
Flavor: check. Sweet:check. Wow? Eh.
~~Icing/Cake Ratio~~
Too much icing. Enough cake.
~~Overall~~
The cupcakes look pretty, but I still don't understand what the big deal is. And I have a cakerock in the fridge.
