It was the Cupcakery ($3 ea) or Project Cupcake ($2.65 ea). Spend the extra .35 and go with the Cupcakery. At the Cupcakery you'll get a fluffy cake, butter in the frosting and a beautiful box. \n\nThe cupcakes were beautiful in Project Cupcakes display case and the cupcakes you receive are exactly like the display case. Sadly, they tasted cheap. If they charged the extra .35 the cupcakes would taste be better. \n\nI read on here something about shortening in the frosting and that was an immediate turnoff, but we ordered 1 dozen anyway. How bad could that 1 ingredient be? Long story short, it ruined the whole products taste. The cake portion was short and dense as if the batter was beaten too much, the ones I tried had the texture of a muffin and tasted similar to cornbread. The frosting when room temperature had an airy consistency, they all smelled the same, like plastic (yes I smelled the frosting, you would too) and coated the mouth after a bite or two like a cheap chocolate bar.\n\nThe cupcakes came in a plastic frame, which to its credit, held the cupcakes in place nicely. These cupcakes are truly a project for someone, unfortunately I won't be their guinea pig.\n\nAlso we had the one with the chocolate chip cookie on top, but a friend just wanted the cookie.
