Martha HillNovember 14, 2014The minis are an excellent choice for parties and potlucks. Eat one or two in the car first, so you don't embarrass yourself overindulging in front of friends!
Mila howeAugust 4, 2015This is an amazing cupcake place which I would give 10 stars! The cupcakes are cute and delicious and when you order a huge batch of cupcakes they come perfect! I recommend this store!- Vivian ChiuMay 8, 2014They carry at least 1 gluten free flavor daily! Super clever names like "Kurd Kobain" & "The Emancipation of Mimi" put a smile on my face and have me coming back for more!
Best prices around for delicious, moist, fancy cupcakes. Always with the vegan and gluten-free options too.
Dominica BarberOctober 31, 2013Awesome that they were selling last minute Halloween ccupcakes for the office; but tasters while you wait would be much appreciated. :-)
