Great cupcakes, wonderful staff -- can't go wrong!\n\nAlthough I'm more into European buttercream than the much-sweeter American version (which Barb's uses), this bakery's cupcakes hit the spot. Everything in the display window looked absolutely delicious, especially the tiramisu (at ~$2.00, too!), but I was in the mood for nothing but cupcakes, and so I ordered all 11 of their flavors, plus a second red velvet to make a dozen. \n\nThey've got some really tasty, creative flavors going on (especially the cosmo cupcake and ice cream sundae cupcake), and their take on classics are delicious as well (carrot cake!). The frosting -- although sweeter than what I typically like -- was very good, and they definitely know how to bake their cake. They seem to have a very nice staff, as well. When I told the woman behind the counter that I heard online that Barb's was the place to get cupcakes in Phoenix, she simply smiled and replied, \"That's because this IS the place!\" How did she know that I like my food with a side of swagger?\n\nSimply put, Barb's has got it goin' on, and I'll gladly return next time I'm Phoenix. Maybe I'll try that tiramisu I was eyeing...
