As many others have said, this place is hidden. It’s in the Albertson’s parking lot and the store front is facing Commonwealth. When I entered, there was no cupcakes in the display case, just the cake balls. I was greeted by a guy, who was very nice. I asked if they still had the yelp deal and he said yes and that I was probably the 5th person within the hour that came in asking about the deal.
He gave me a sheet with the cupcake selections and he said they will frost the cupcakes to order. I made my selection quickly (red velvet, white cake with chocolate fudge, chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse, and banana with cream), and he said they have them out soon and to help myself to the complimentary beverages. I wasn’t thirsty at the time so I didn’t take advantage of it. While I waited for my cupcakes, a woman and her daughter walked in, to pick up a cake for a birthday. I would have to say the cake she purchased looked delicious. Soon after she left, the guy behind the counter presented me with my cupcakes which were nicely decorated.
Once I got home I wanted to dig into one of the cupcakes, so I picked red velvet. The frosting on the cupcake isn’t like most places, it seem more like a whipped cream topping and many other places it’s like royal icing. I cut the cupcake in half, I don’t like eating a whole cupcake in one sitting, and plus I know my sister would want to eat some because that is her favorite favor of cake. What I found in the center was surprising, there was cream in the center! The cake was moist and fluffy, a big plus for me and the frosting wasn’t too sweet. Even my mom, who is not a cupcake fan or even a dessert fan like the cupcakes, thought the cupcakes were pretty good, she picked the chocolate cake with PB mousse. I had a bite of the choco with PB mousse, it was great, the frosting had a nice PB taste. The banana cake, on the other hand was not my favorite, the cake didn’t have a very banana taste to it, the cream on top wasn’t too bad but it more of a Bavarian cream texture and taste, somewhat pudding/custard like.
Even after 4 days, I cut opened the last cupcake, white cake with choco fudge, the cake was a little moist still. Though, I think it had to do with the cream in the center that helped maintain the moisture. Overall, I would go back to this place again. Maybe even buy a cake for a birthday.
