By no means is this an excellent cupcake. The "critic" who reviewed it below must value dry, uninspired cake as a most sought after feature? And their ratio of cake to frosting isn't ideal either, unless you enjoy biting through inches of sweet frosting to get to your cake that is...
Sorry, just can't recommend it.
Still on my hunt for the perfect cupcake. The frosting is nice, but the cake itself is dry. I prefer something more moist. Points for the cute designs though.
Emergency: if you like cupcakes and live in Seattle - and have NOT been to cupcake Royale yet, get over there now. These cupcakes are some of the best I've tasted (yes, they rival NYC's Magnolia, where Sex & the City first revived the mighty cupcake craze). They are light, airy and slightly spongy cakes topped with velvety butter cream frosting. My favorites are the classic chocolate and strawberry frostings, although lavender and mocha take close 2nd places. This is an ideal place to savor a cupcake and sip a cup of Jo (the coffee here is excellent too).
