The Cupcake Bakery

I love eating cupcakes and my favourite flavour from this place would be the red velvet and the carrot cake cupcake. I have pretty much tried all the other flavours but they are too sweet for my liking. The decorations on the cupcakes are super cute and so awesome for any party. Cupcakes aren’t too pricy which is good for people with sweet teeth. The girls who work here are super friendly and will answer any of your questions about their products which is so helpful

Cupcakes were amazing — the smells, colours and tastes. Coffee was also amazing and really cheap! Love MELBOURNE

Yum. Every flavor you could dream of!

If you really want to go all out on a workmate of friend’s birthday, surprise them with a «My Size» cupcake from the cupcake bakery. Essentially they’re just huge cupcakes but they’re also swimming in swirly icing and decoration. They look pretty impressive and as with all cupcakes from this place, they’re delicious. But it is an indulgence: they’re $ 18 each, which means you could buy a decent cake for that price. I like them because they’re funny and a bit different.

Just in case you’re too lazy to read my entire review, let me put this simply:
Don’t do it.

Okay, I admit, my distaste for The Cupcake Bakery comes from a whole lot of disappointment, but let me explain myself: I’m from San Francisco and back home, we have a specific flavour called «Red Velvet» that is EXTREMELY popular in North America. It is quite possibly one of the most favourite things in the whole wide world and when I saw it sitting in the display of this little cupcake shop, I literally squealed, ran in, put my money on the table, and ordered my beautiful red velvet lover.
The cupcake was stale and condensed rather than fluffy and delicious.
The red velvet tasted like chocolate rather than the light-​chocolate cocoa-​buttery taste of red velvet. Clearly, this shop had no idea what red velvet was. I looked up their website and they just described red velvet as red-​coloured chocolate. So I guess they just used food colouring rather than the actual flavouring? Okay.
I guess my hunt for my beloved red velvet is still on. Meawhile, avoid this place.

Now i know before i have said that there’s nothing greater than chocolate (and there isn’t!) but cupcakes come in a fine second place!
Small, delectable and a great gift idea (I mean, who would open a present and be unsatisfied with high-​end cupcakes!), cupcakes are becoming more than your ‘home-​cooking’ dessert.
Cupcake Factory produces glorious cupcakes for a ‘somewhat pricey’ but well worth cost. You can find all sorts of flavours and varieties here, my favourite being ‘the giant cupcake’… I’m sure you get the gist of it, a giant cupcake that is used as a cake! Super cute and an idea not met by any other standard in dessert making.
