The Cupcakery

My daughter loves cupcakes she wanted them for her birthday party, and I heard wonderful things about, The cupcakery, but when i went on the website I noticed there was glitter on the cakes and my child has a food allergy, so I called the store to ask where they got their glitter, so I could call the supplier just to make sure. They stated they would leave the glitter off but I informed them my daughter liked the glitter but I wanted to check with the supplier to make sure it was ok for my daughter was able to eat it.. After waiting on hold for what felt like almost 10 min. I was told that they were not allowed to give out that information, the girl on the phone was somewhat snotty to me on the phone. I would think this information should be made available to anyone with any type of allergy. I wasnt asking there trade secret, just what they used so my child could of enjoyed what looked like delicious cupcakes. I called another bakery and they told me the information right away, I ordered 5 dozen cupcakes on the spot.

A friend and I stopped here for a quick snack after hearing rave reviews. We thought the cupcakes would be nice sized, perhaps like a bakery-style muffin, but were in fact just a standard size you could make on your own. For $2.50 each, it was pricey but we were already there so went ahead and each selected one. There wasn't anywhere to sit and enjoy aside from a folding table, so we got them to-go.

My friend liked her red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, though she was concerned that they were not refrigerated. I had a chocolate mocha cupcake, which was heaped with so much icing that I couldn't taste both the cake and frosting at once. This was actually a bad thing, because the cake was very dry. I think they may freeze the cupcakes before icing them. I wound up using a fork to eat mine so that I could soften the cake with the icing.

The concerning part was that after running my credit card, the clerk said she was out of paper and couldn't print a receipt. I told her I'd wait while she changed the paper roll, but she said she didn't know how. I asked if her manager could help, but she said no one else was there. Hmm. I finally asked if she'd write me a receipt, but that completely confused her. She scribbled something mispelled on a post-it note.

$2.50 for a cupcake served on a plate in a cozy cafe with nice tables, where my friend and I could have enjoyed a chat, is worth the money. $2.50 for a stale item that tasted like the 1/2 price rack at my grocery store is not. This place is a rip-off, and poorly run at that.

The Cupcakery has the best cupcakes ever! They have a bunch of unique flavors or both the cupcake itself and the frostings, along with the classics. It's so cute inside too. Great for birthdays or just for fun. Try the blueberry lemon cupcake.
