For recommendations of better cupcake shops, see the last sentence of my review.\n\nI've been craving cupcakes for weeks, and I just so happened to be having dinner near Madhatter, so I figured I'd stop in since I hadn't been here in years. Well, I realized why I hadn't been there in so long after I are my first cupcake.\nI ordered 1/2 dozen cupcakes for $15, which in comparison to similar shops is pretty reasonable. However, my cupcakes just were subpar, probably why they were only $15. I got two strawberry cupcakes with vanilla frosting, two pumpkin cupcakes, and one chocolate with peanut butter frosting, and one chocolate with banana frosting. \nThe first cupcakes my friend and I ate were the strawberry ones. Immediately we both noticed that the cupcake had no strawberry taste what so ever, but did have a lot of pink food dye, which made the texture of the cupcake kind of iffy. After we took our first bite we immediately went and scraped about half of the frosting off, as there was just so much frosting, which tastes like an amateur buttercream, way too much powdered sugar! The frosting was completely way too much, too sweet, not a good frosting just in general because there was too much sugar. I love sweets, and I have a major sweet tooth, but it was just a lot of frosting that wasn't even good frosting.\nWe later decided to try to split the chocolate peanut butter cupcake, and again, the cake was moist, but had a very dense texture, and tasted like any generic store bought cupcake mix. If I'm paying good money for cupcakes, make it so they don't taste store bought. I could go to the store and buy a box of cake mix and a can of frosting and get a better outcome. \nThe only reason I gave a review of two stars instead of one is that 1) they have pumpkin cupcakes even though it's not fall, and 2) I like that you can mix and match different frostings, fillings, cakes, and toppings so they're made to order. I think that's a pretty cool concept.\nIndividual cupcakes are $2.99/each, which is steep considering other shops do cupcakes for $2.50/$2.75 for better quality cakes. If you want an awesome cupcake try Showboy Bake Shop, the Cupcakery, or Freeds. Those are the best cupcakes in town, hands down! This shop, just disappointing.
