I am a huge fan of Cupcake Wars and when I saw the pictures on the website I decided to visit. The shoppe is cute and the display of cupcakes made you want to try all of them. The young lady behind the counter was ok. Nearly impossible to engage in conversation. Maybe she was having a bad day. I asked if she was the one who made the cupcakes and she said no, so obviously an employee. I was a bit worried when I looked into the display and saw the outside of the vanilla cupcakes. They look hard and overbaked, but I thought maybe it was just me seeing too many episodes of Cupcake Wars. LOL Instead of trying 1 or 2 I bought a dozen. I took them home and tried all the frostings. While they did taste like the flavor they were supposed to, the icing was crusty and hard on the outside. I was expecting to bite into a nice soft cupcake, instead I found them lacking in taste and a bit dry. Not light. Maybe it was just an off day with the baking? I don’t know. The taste of the cucakes reminded me of the .99 muffin mixes you buy in the store.
