$3.75 for a cupcake!!!

Yup! I got ripped off! I was told about a bake shop in my hometown called Bittersweet Bake Shoppe. I heard/read good reviews so I had high hopes for this place. I got there mid afternoon on a Saturday... I was also going to get some bread but they were sold out so I went for the vanilla vanilla. I should have known as soon as I saw the sprinkles and she said "That'll be $3.75!" My jaw dropped.... now granted it was on the larger side of cupcakes but the frosting was light and there were sprinkles! Sprinkles should not have made the cost of the cupcake go up that much... gessh! I'd rather NO sprinkles... you can choke on them! So the cake was moist but lacked flavor and the frosting reminded me something I could get at the grocery store but not even as good... so sorry Bittersweet Bake Shoppe, but I wont be back!

Next adventure - Burlington Mall for Cupcake shots! Apparently its a cupcake and then they will insert icecream like they would a jelly to a donut.... probably go in October... so til then!

Whole Food Market

Ok, so I had high expectations from here. Even though it isn't a specialty bakery, Whole Foods has an incredible reputation...wrong again! It was cute, plain, nothing fancy. I unwrapped it out of the paper and immediately realized i had been duped! The cake started to crumble right then and there, it was so dry. I took one small bite just so I could have something to review...another treat for Coco. Really, as someone said, people are really taking advantage of this whole cupcake thing and everyone and their brother is making cupcakes and NOT very good ones. My next trip is to Cakelove, it may be the last cupcake standing.
