They didnt make the cupcake that I wanted that day, banana filled with cr (Mon&Thurs). So instead, I bought dark chocolate (everyday). Im gonna give it some style points for not having exotically named cupcakes. Chocolate is named milk chocolate or dark chocolate, and banana is named, well, banana. Maybe its a reflection of our times that we want to return to simpler times. \r
This $3.25 cupcake is pricey partly because of quality. The cupcake is good, standard, sturdy, and traditional. I would rate it a 7.\r
The icing is so substantial that you have to have the right support underneath. A traditional cupcake would have a millimeter or twos worth of icing (which i would have preferred). This one is three-quarters of an inch to a full inch of icing!! The icing is so rich that its the equivalent of eating 8 Sees candies on top of a mini-cake. Oprah, dang girl, this is so not on your diet plan!! I think I need to call the FDA for truth-in-advertising. I would imagine you need a certain icing to cupcake ratio to still be able to call it a cupcake because its really icing (=candy) that just happens to have a little bit of cake underneath it. As for flavor, I give it a 9. \r
The ingredients are high quality, like sweet cr butter, Callebaut chocolate, and Nielsen-Massey pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. They are topped with imported sprinkles from France, hence the name. The sprinkles were a 10.\r
For an additional 75 cents, you can get an extra shot of icing. Huh? I cant imagine the icing being any more than it was. I think I saw a red phone hotline on the wall for eaters anonymous.\r
The help is very courteous and polite. The bakery was very clean. Their site is user friendly. Phone support is professional and helpful. Overall, my rating is a 9.5. \r
