holy shiz, 44 flavors?! i hate it when they only display a select few flavors each day. not only do you have to go back like everyday of the week, but you have to go more than once, to make sure you taste all the flavors.

anyway, you should definitely submit some of your photos to http://www.donteatthatyet.com. it’s a visual restaurant review site, with a template inspired by tastespotting.

Sera: That’s a very good point about how plastic packaging also changes the texture of baked goods. Store-bought cupcakes stored in plastic also exhibit that too-soft texture. And come to think of it, my own baked goods, when stored overnight in Tupperware, also get that more gummy texture.

Paige: Good tip about leaving the cupcakes out until they get to room temperature. It does improve the flavor. I think I still miss having the tops a little crispy, though.

Thanks for this review. I’ll have to point out a few things though.

I work at valley fair and eat these cupcakes a lot! I’ve loved every flavor, and their employee told me all their plastic (even forks) is corn based biodegradeable. Anyway, maybe that would help your ‘green’ view of them.

As far as cold cakes go, I brought 1 to my aunt one time and she likes her cakes room temp, so left it out for just a little bit before devouring. She loved it.

They’re such nice people, and I think the greatest cupcakes around this part of town.

You are seriously my favorite person. And not just because you reviewed the tempting cupcakes I keep wanting to go try out so that I don’t have to go

Thanks for the review. I have only found one cupcakery (Elizabethan in Encinitas) who had a good refrigerated cupcake. You let that baby come to room temperature and just moaned while you enjoyed it (the caramel banana one was our favorite).
