text: This place was reccommended to me. I went into the Cupcakery with an open mind and I was left EXTREMEMLY disappointed. None of the cupcakes looked appealing & I'm glad I only bought one. It was a strawberry shortcake!  It was NOT delicious. I had to scrape off the HUGH mound of frosting to even out the ratio. When I bit into the cake, it was reddish/pink (food coloring...YUK!) and it didn't even taste like strawberries. In fact there were NO strawberries anywhere on the cupcake. The worst part...the cake was D-R-Y, DRY!  \n\nPROBLEMS with CUPCAKERY (my opinion):  They taste as though baker/owner uses dyes & flavoring.//The frosting-cake ratio is UNBALANCED. You get more frosting than cake.//The frosting is piled high as though the baker is trying to mask the SAHARA DESERT DRY CAKE. I've had cupcakes from a box/mix that were MORE MOIST!/// It doesn't taste as though fresh ingredients are used.//The cupcakes are VERY OVERPRICED!!!!\n\nHere in Pasadena, we have DOTS. The strawberry shortcake @ DOTS is white cake with FRESH berries on the batter. It has a perfect amount of buttercream with a simple decoration. DOTS CUPCAKES ARE SUUUUPERR MOIST!!! Best of all, they are reasonably priced. \n\nI don't understand the comments that people left and I can't believe people like the cupcakes @ Cupcakery!!!
