Colossal Cupcakes

What a disappointment. We went last Friday after dinner to get some cupcakes to take home for dessert. The store decor is very well done and totally fits the theme, but that’s where the good part ended. The young girl working starts off her sales pitch by telling us how expensive the cupcakes are at over $6 each. I didn’t ask how much they were, but she seemed worried we wouldn’t pay that price. I wish I had taken her warning. She pointed out the 2 cases, one with buttercream and the other with cream cheese frosting. Surely these cases would be refrigerated right? Nope. We got a red velvet, double chocolate, and a banana cream pie cupcake, and that one she said had Bavarian cream filling. She boxed them up for us and we went home, just a few minutes away. I opened up the cupcakes to find them actually warm/ room temp, with soft melted frosting. What a disappointment. Stuck them in the fridge for about 20 min to firm up the frosting, but when we ate them, they were all so dry there’s no way they were baked that day, or even 2 days before. These were old dry cupcakes. The filling in the banana cupcake was maybe a teaspoon of filling, gone in one bite. We shared all 3 of them, but only ate a couple bites each. The calories weren’t worth the dry, bland bites. 3 cupcakes for $20 with the unnecessarily added tip is enough to ensure we will never return to this place. I tried multiple times on FB to reach the owner to tell this story but got nothing but generic responses and further lack of concern, so now she can read it here.
