Today I adventured out to the Cupcake pavillion. It's located in waldorf, Maryland with a new store to open in the St. Charles shopping center. It has the unfortunate task of being my first victum!
Knowing that the shop opened at 11am, I planned my morning activities around this trip. On my way I got lost. This is partially because I'm bad with directions and the other part because it's tucked away. When I entered it was a cute little shop. I was welcomed by a small child not to bigger than the counter, but she was the cutest darn thing! I noticed that there were not many choices and was told they were just baking. This threw off my blog because the cupcakes I wanted were not available. I was not leaving empty handed so I purchased birthday cake, lemon, chocolate mudslide, and coconut. After paying $11 something for the four I left to take the cupcakes to my testers. My testers and I each sampled the cupcakes and were disappointed. They were EXTREMELY dry. They crumbled into hard messes. One even spit out the lemon. Many said the lemon tasted like soap. The favorite was mudslide 5/5 enjoyed this one. (but to be clear it was not a cupcake but a brownie cake!) 5/5 did not like the lemon. I was super sad that I missed the thin mint- it's what I really wanted. So here is the final word. Will I go back? when it moves to the mall, I will give it a second chance. Was I happy? considering what I paid no! I was really disappointed and threw most of them away. Customer service? It was wonderful. The people were great! I just wish the cupcakes were as great!
But try for your self!

Wow! I guess we know this is going to be an honest opinion blog! Curious about size of the cupcakes you got for the $11.
ReplyDeleteAm I suppose to not be 100% honest! I don't think I was mean. The size is that of a normal cupcake, maybe a little smaller!
