Like seriously the sugar rush from these oversized and heavily iced sweet treats is instant and eye-popping I mean they have red velvet and creamsicle and cosmopolitan and vanilla with sprinkles baked in and the signature namesake with three kinds of melted chocolate and the place totally looks like a real kitchen with used up bowls from which I kind of wanted to lick the unused frosting but anyway they're all stacked up behind the counter which has cupcakes cupcakes and nothing but cupcakes divided up by flavor under glass and if a flavor is gone there's probably more coming up because they're all baked from scratch every day although one of our signature cupcakes was a bit more dried out than the other which leads us to believe a couple different batches got mixed together but those bowls just keep cranking out product as demand requires and walk-in orders are capped at two dozen so no unscrupulous sugar-stealer wipes the place out because you know people can be such jerks but not the sweet employees here who even dot the bottom of the box with frosting to help the cupcakes stay in place in transit and uh-oh suddenly I'm very very sleeeeeeeepy.
