Not THAT bad....

by nancyinlv

I just had one this past Memorial Day weekend, and it didn't taste dry like everyone says. Course I wouldn't necessarily RAVE about it as being the best I've eaten either. It was good and tasty, but a bit sweet in the frosting. I usually love cupcake frosting, but there's so much of it, and it was so sweet, that I ended up with some frosting left at the end that I didn't eat all of.

Quite frankly, at that price, I got a better deal for a comparable (or maybe even better) cupcake at Walmart on Eastern/Russell. They made me a beautiful customized cupcake birthday cake.... with all the decorations I wanted, in the colors I wanted, for about $15 for I think it was 18 cupcakes. And the counter person was the decorator, and she did a great job! And she was nice. First time I've experienced such great serv ice at Walmart!! But if you want an alternate inexpensive option, check it out.

• Pros: Its OK in taste, and pretty...
• Cons: It's expensive

Yuck

by iluvrootbeer

I recently bought some cupcakes here and was highly disappointed. The decoration was gaudy and overdone, something a second grader would make. $2.75 a cupcake!! For what? The cakes were stale and obviously previously frozen. There is more moisture out in the desert than in these cakes. They crumbled like sawdust when I peeled off the paper. I don't think that the staff has any supervision, they seem to do what they please and are the rudest retail people I've ever come across. I've heard the Cupcakery started off well, but I just don't see what the hype is about. The other reviewer was right, I peeked in the dumpster next to the store and saw carrot cake mix and white cake mix bags.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: dry, frozen, from a box, rude staff, frosting too sweet

Culinary Student Says...

by ShellyBell29

Not worth it. I enjoy baking and I loved all my culinary classes that had to do with baking. I know what a good cake should taste like and these are less than good. If I turned in something with the texture and taste of The Cupcakery cupcakes I would receive a "C", no doubt. The cakes just aren't moist. Don't know how else to say it. They obviously have some talented people decorating these. They are above average on looks! (hence the 2 stars instead of 1) but just going on taste, which is the important thing, I would have to pass.

• Pros: Neat Presentation
• Cons: Taste
