One must make sure their bestie gets a cupcake for their birthday! Parking around SMB seemed like it would be easier than around Molly's so we decided to give it a shot (and yes it was).
At first when I saw the all the strollers outside I started to panic but once inside, service was very swift. Standard flavor cupcakes and some fun and seasonal ones make for a fun time selecting. Caramel apple, pumpkin pie, orange dreamsicle, lemon.... alongside SO many other different sweet treats! Dreamy bars, puddings, pies, cakes, cookies, and the most enormous and whimsical whoopie pies I have seen in my life (they sandwich with colored frosting - genius!).
I got a chocolate mini with blue frosting. I know, so boring. The cake was okay. Nothing incredible. I like my cupcake to have a rich, dense, and moist cake. SMB makes a light and fluffy cake - not really my thing. BUT the frosting totally made up for it. A light as air whipped (blue) buttercream. This was the first time I actually ate all the frosting on a cupcake (and I've eaten a lot of cupcakes). Bravo SMB!
I also had bites of the orange dreamsicle and red velvet cupcakes. Again, wonderful frosting but needs to be replaced with Molly's (cup)cake.
The storefront is absolutely adorable. Cute pastel colors, lots of colorful products, and friendly and cute girls working the counter. I will definitely stop in again for a mini cupcake (or three) if I am in the neighborhood.
Where'd the four star average rating come from? I could not have been eating the same cupcakes other people were served.
First, the cake appears to be made from a boxed mix. My lemon cupcake was bland and had the texture of Betty Crocker's.
Second, the buttercream frosting I had was not traditional buttercream. Rather, it was very obviously quick buttercream, which is made by mixing powdered sugar, butter, cream and flavoring. It takes about two minutes to make. The flavor is far less rich and the texture is softer than traditional buttercream.
I also tasted the chocolate frosting on my friend's banana chocolate cupcake. It was no better than what you can buy in a can at Jewel.
It seems like Sweet Mandy B's exists for moms who are too busy to slap together a cupcake. And it serves that purpose. But they get a big fat F for effort - if you make your reputation on cupcakes, then make awesome cupcakes instead of something that tastes like pre-made components fixed up to look cute.
So, yelpers, if you want interesting flavors of cupcakes, go to Bleeding Heart Bakery instead, where they concoct recipes from scratch and use top notch ingredients.. oh yeah, and they use real buttercream. I'm snarling at the thought of a professional bakery selling me quick buttercream. What a sham!
(Just a note about the two stars despite my not being impressed - at least they weren't stale. That happens at half the bakeries where I've gotten cupcakes in Chicago.)
I'm on a US cupcake city tour. Before I went to Chicago, I yelped a cupcake place and Sweet Mandy B's popped up.
I came here the day after running the marathon. Oh dear, I was eating lunch on Clark St. and limped my way to SMB past DePaul University. It's not that far, but it is when you are in pain.
Of course, I got a red velvet and one unique flavor, Caramel Apple. That's one of the best red velvet cupcakes I ever had. It was perfect - moist, full of flavor, and yummy frosting. I quickly gobbled it up. One woman asked me what flavor I was eating and it looked good. I quickly agreed! I ate the Caramel Apple the next day for breakfast. Yes, the breakfast of champions! It was still super moist and the frosting was delicious. There was small chunks of apple in the cupcake. So good!
The painful, slow trek over here was definitely worth it and I'm coming back again.
My boyfriend surprised me with a cupcake battle of Chicago's finest. Some may consider me a cupcake connoisseur (and I do my very best to uphold this title) and so I take something like this quite seriously. I'm not from Chicago and therefore am extremely impartial and had no idea based on appearance where the various cupcakes came from. Sweet Mandy B's won by a landslide. Both the frosting and cake blew their competitors away.
So if anyone's headed to the post office in the near future, I'll be happy to give you my address so you can send a little bit of happiness from Sweet Mandy B's out to me on a more regular basis.
Thanks in advance.
If I went by cupcakes alone, I'd give it the full 5...let me explain.
I do love their cupcakes. The frosting is so rich and the cake is very light--a great combo. My favorite is their orange dreamsicle. They can really make my day! I was next in line and thought, good, I'm going to take 2 of those beauties to go (there were 3 left on the platter). When it was my turn to order, I pointed to the platter and they were gone! I said, Oh no, you're all out of the orange ones? *sad face* Cue the angelic music and spot light...a new platter full of the dreamsicle cupcakes appeared and was being carried to the display case by one of the bakers. Ok ok, I'm being dramatic, but on a rainy day as it was, the fresh orange flavor gave me a bit of sunshine. Awwwwww.
I can't really eat cupcakes driving home so I bought a peanut butter cookie (hand held friendly while maneuvering the LP streets, sure!)
Oh no, I was so disappointed. It was very dry and had a burnt taste. Even the milk I had with it at home didn't save it. Dang. I'll stick with cupcakes next time.
Really cute shop which offers quite a few flavors of cupcake. I went for the citrus flavors because I wasn't in the mood for chocolate. I had a lemon and an orange cupcake. A+ frosting on a cupcake that is a bit dry. Perhaps Molly's would consider merging its cake with Sweet Mandy B's frosting to make the world's greatest cupcake... Maybe in my fat kid dreams.
I am not a cupcake-obsessed person as so many people have become over the last couple of years. I feel like all of a sudden cupcakes are trendy and the treat of the stars, and I have avoided getting too attached to them b/c I am more traditional and enjoy the likes of cookies and brownies (out of the box or sliced and baked in the oven) to overpriced pieces of cake.
But...my ways are changing - mostly do to the girls I met on the Destination Weddings chat board from The Knot. Oh yah, I said it - I have internet friends. In either case, over the last few years, I have met most of the girls I love and adore in person and we are super close...and in that closeness, we have a shared joy and love of cupcakes. They still love them more than me, but it's definitely becoming addicting!
With each get together, we pass out our favorite treats from the cities we live in and the last two visits from the Chicago area have brought me closer and closer to Sweet Mandy B's. So close, in fact, that my next trip to the Windy City will definitely include a detour to this fabulous place for a one-on-one, in person visit!
I am a HUGE chocolate lover and I adore the thick, light deliciousness that is the chocolate icing, thickly layered over moist, succulent chocolate cake the size of a large man's fist. Absolutely mouth watering! The red velvet is also unforgettable and the vanilla cupcake is incredibly delightful!
I assume that all the other choices are equally as fabulous and cannot wait to venture out of my comfort zone and try a variety of cake in a cup. YUUUUM. Cannot wait for my next visit to see Sarah, so we can dive into another dozen from Sweet Mandy B's.
SMB, I knew you were the one for me! Up until this point, I've only been teased with pictures of the colorful frosting on their vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. Pretty colors hypnotize me, honestly. Came here with the manfriend who ordered 6 different cupcakes, 1 PB cookie, and 1 flourless chocolate cake. I mean, that's what I would do. What. A. Turn-on! ;)
We tried the flourless chocolate cake with berries on top. It was way too fudgy and not that sweet - probably my least favorite item. The peanut butter cookie is unique. It's oversized and slightly crumbly (I think they use real crushed peanuts) - definitely a must try.
Onto the cupcakes... SMB captures the essence of what they should be about - pretty, light, and cheap.
Pretty - I eat with my eyes, so anything that looks like it belongs in my stomach is perfect. Cupcakes that look almost shellacked for a wax display shouldn't be in my stomach. Cupcakes that look like a 3-year-old frosted them also shouldn't be in my stomach.
Light - I hate the heavy, oily cupcakes at Molly's. You shouldn't have to feel guilty eating one. Just my opinion. And at some places, the frosting is ridiculously thick in comparison to the texture of the cake.
Cheap - I think most cupcakes are $2-3. For the taste and appearance, the low price surely surprised me. I think the average cupcake price is $3.50 in Chicago, and they're not nearly as good.
Can't wait to go back!
Absolutely love Sweet Mandy B's. I always make a point to stop here to stock up when I'm in Lincoln Park. The chocolate and vanilla cupcakes here are absolutely divine. The double chocolate walnut cookies are also delicious, especially after warming them up in the microwave for 20 seconds (if you don't devour them right away). I had a birthday cake made from here last year, and it was the second best cake I've ever had in my life (after the chocolate Kahlua cake my dad makes -- nope, can't be trumped). Cannot say enough positive things about this place. Damn good.
Delicious cookies and assorted bars! Their lemon bar was very tasty. I'll be back when my sweet tooth is bugging me for some cupcakes!
Their cupcakes are by far the best in the city, and believe me I have done my fair share of tasting :). In addition the staff is always friendly and it is a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks, Sweet Mandy B's!
One of the most memorable parts of our wedding was when my dad sat down, took a bite of a Sweet Mandy B's cupcake, stared at it, flailed is arms into the air and said, "THIS IS THE BEST CUPCAKE I HAVE EVER HAD."
So effing good. We got red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, pumpkin and carrot. People raved about the cupcakes. It was hilarious. The cakes had people in some sort of trance.
The only downside of doing our wedding cupcakes through SMB was that we had to pick them up ourselves.
Ah, a small price to pay for sweet bliss.
This is, officially, my favorite cupcake place in the city.
Me and my fiance were shopping for a…

How do I start to explain this place.Its like a sugary wonderland! Everything they make is dangerous! The cupcakes are the most addicting sugar puffs ever.My friends live in the city and we celebrate each one of our bdays down there.Each birthday and started with pear vodka and sweet mandy bs cupcakes! They have all sorts of flavors and frostings. My friend mini loves the orange flavored cupcake.Sounds a lil weird but actually the found a way to work it out.
The cupcakes are a bit pricey but you serioulsy cant think about that because they are so worth it
Dear Sweet Mandy B's,
You don't know me...but I know you. No, we've never met in person. No, I haven't entered your storefront to gaze at your pastel-colored walls (or so I've heard), but I just wanted to take some time out of my gluttonous schedule to write a review of you based on ONE cupcake.
Yes, one cupcake.
Background history: I'm not the biggest fan of eating cupcakes or cakes. (You can close your agape, "gasp-of-horror" mouth now). I blame the Fourth of July and my family for buying a dozen Costco cupcakes because they were on sale...of which they ate four, and I ate the rest...but I could only eat them if I scraped off the frosting. Bad.
Anyhoo.
My friend bought Sweet Mandy B cupcakes for my friend's birthday. I had the pleasure of eating the yellow cake cupcake with the biggest, creamiest dollup of buttercream frosting I had ever seen, tastefully peach-hued. Usually a dollop like that would scare me but...
If I could, I would have gulped that sucker down in one swallow. The frosting is ALL THAT plus two snaps in a circle. CHYEAH.
Frosting shots you say? No, really? Expect an update from me because I will meet you Sweet Mandy B, in person.
I didn't discover my love for gourmet cupcakes until I left home and moved to LA. Naturally, when I went home over the summer, I begged my friend to take me to the best cupcake place she knew of.
The store is cute; it's nestled on a nice street, and everything is very cosy/old-fashioned. It's tiny, though, so don't expect to find seating if it's busy. My friend and I bought something like two dozen of them. I would have liked more choices, but they at least put different coloured icing on the cupcakes, so we had the illusion of getting several different kinds when really, they were all just chocolate or vanilla. The red velvet was delicious, and the cream cheese frosting (which I usually pick off) was actually tolerable. The chocolate, banana, and lemon were all good as well -- very moist and not bland at all. They really heap icing on the cupcakes, so everything was a tad too sweet for me. I didn't try any of the other baked goods.
Good cupcakes, but not the best I've ever had. Slightly below Sprinkles, a country mile behind Crumbs. My search for the best gourmet cupcakes in Chicago continues.
I have been to heaven and it tastes like Sweet Mandy Bs.
Holy shit does this place bake a cake! Aside from the joy of surprising my sister by showing in Chicago for her b'day was the fact that my brother-in-law got a ginormous cake from her for her party. Absolute heaven. Rich, sweet and flavorful without making me want to throw up. In fact, only making me want to eat slice after slice. Luckily, we had sufficient leftovers.
The next day, my sister insisted that I get the Sweet Mandy B's experience in person. This cute, little shop churns out some mighty fine cookies as well. I loved me the confetti cookie.
My waistline is thankful for the 1856 miles distance between it and this slice of heaven.
I am seriously in love with the strawberry cupcake. If I could marry it ala Pee Wee Herman and the fruit cocktail I would. The caramel apple dessert would be my maid of honor because I love that one too!
FYI: By far one of the cheapest cupcake places in the city! I can walk in and get a couple cupcakes and other treats and not spend over $10.
Just recently tried their chococlate chip banana cupcake. Amazing! I usually hate any sort of… Read more »
I enjoy Sweet Mandy B's. It's been pretty much a staple amongst my group of friends since we lived near it during our freshman year at DePaul. Now it's a little out of the way for me, so I don't visit AS much, BUT:
I know I'm a freak because everyone is obsessed with their cupcakes, but the frosting is a little too rich for me. That being said, I wouldn't pass one up when given the chance.
The cakes, however, I'm a HUGE fan of. Every kind of combination I ever had from there (and there were quite a few considering all the birthdays cakes we got from there) were delicious.
I've tried a multitude of things other than their cupcakes though, like the cookies, brownies, and just plain chocolate/peanut butter bar things, and they are FABULOUS.
All in all, I enjoy that they're known for their cupcakes and cakes, but I really admire how they have more sweets to choose from. And everything has been great that I've tried so far.
Ahem.
Sugar is my BFF.
Straight shots of it whipped up in frosting form?
Seductress. Perhaps.
So, when THIS convo happened:
Cranky Counterperson Girl: Um, hi.
Me: Hi!
CCG: Do you know what you want? (eye roll)
Me: (undeterred) Yes, do you have shots of frosting?
CCG: Yeah, we do. Just not right now.
Me: mmmmmmmk.
CCG: So, what else do you want?
I was....annoyed. Not by the fact that perhaps the Lincoln Park sugar fiends had scooped up all the frosting shots. I mean, whatever...shit happens. But to be so heinously unapologetic? NOT ok. You work in a bakery. You make sugar. The walls are pastel, the frosting is pastel, the cookies are sweet, the bakery is all sorts of innocence and naivete rolled up in butter, sprinkled with confetti and presented in a tiny cupcake form.
SO, be nice. That is all.
I still bought 3 cupcakes. But, it was a holiday, and so I couldn't NOT buy them. Frosting shots would've been better, good customer service would have been...necessary. Work on it "sweet" Mandy B.
You know who's super smart with a frosting dollop on top?
Sweet Mandy B.
Why?
Because when all the…

Holy Sh*t!!!
These cupcakes are stupid-good! My favorite bakery in the entire universe!
I visited Chicago for my birthday and my friend and dragged our behinds through the ice and snow for Sweet Mandy B's... and I would do it again in an instant. Moist frosting, delicious fillings and the most perfect, smoothest icing ever! Really great flavors too; try the Boston Cream Pie or the Tiramisu! I might go back just to get some freakin' cupcakes... do they ship? Please say yes!
Sweet Mandy B's was good. The cupcakes were moist and icing was very sweet! A tad too sweet for me, but cupcakes overall were good. Red velvet cupcakes were my favorite.
Overall, prices okay, food okay, service okay. Will definitely go back when we're in the mood for something sweet!
Holy sugar rush!!!
Ok, I don't eat cupcakes or cake (it's a long story), BUT I do eat cookies. I eat a lot of cookies.
I got a few confetti ones because they are 50% sprinkles, 50% cookie, 100% sugar! One of the gals suggested some butter cream on top, I passed on that though - I wanted to live through the experience after all! Also got an M&M one because I couldn't help it. Delish!
The others I was with got cupcakes, and all I heard was lip smacking and "Mmmmmmmmmm" So I figured that was a good sign.
Oofta! When I need a sugar fix I'll be back :)

Although I have ordered many a cake from here for various clients I never actually tried anything from here until last weekend. I follow Weight Watchers and I'm a salty over sweets girl so if I'm going to use my flex points on something it won't be a cupcake. But last week my friend Liz had Sweet Mandy B's red velvet cupcakes for dessert and they were awesome. Amazingly moist and the cream cheese frosting was creamy and not cloyingly sweet. A week later and I can't get the taste of them out of my head. Heavenly scrumptious!!!
OK but nothing great. We ended up tossing the last-to-be-eaten of our choices: the orange creme. Remember St. Joseph's aspirin? Not bad in tablet size but not so great in cupcake form.
And unfortunately none of the choices really wowed. In fact, I only know that none of the six flavors lingers remotely in my memory. Besides the orange creme, of course.
It's fine. Cake is always good. But for my calorie expenditure, I'll go elsewhere.
See, this is what a cupcake should be. My expectations were more than met when I tried their cupcakes at a wedding reception in S. Illinois. I knew they had to be good for the bride to get these for her wedding 4 hours south of the city!
Super moist and fresh - loved it! will remember this one for my next special occasion!
The bakery was adorable and the cupcakes were very good.
I also have an issue with the frosting...it was too sweet, but I also had this cupcake for breakfast on an empty stomach. The cake was perfect, I really wish the frosting was less sweet and less brightly colored. The red velvet was the superior of the three that I tried, better then the chocolate with vanilla and the vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. I still like Kara's Cupcakes in SF better :)
In my search for the best cupcakes in the city of Chicago, I came across Sweet Mandy B's.
Cupcake frosting is super-duper-uber over-the-top SWEET! Too sweet for me.
Enough said. I couldn't even continue eating it.
Once upon a time, my roommate was having a shitty week and wanted some Key Lime Pie.
She called around to various bakeries in the city, and Sweet Mandy B's confirmed that they sold Key Lime Pie by the slice, and also by the pie, but warned that they would be closing in 5 minutes.
My roommate said, "I'm getting in my car right now, will you wait for me to get there before you lock up so I can buy a pie?"
They waited for her for about 15 minutes. She got her pie and was inordinately happy. It was not the best pie of my life, but the fact that they were awesome and waited for her is badass in a number of ways.
By far my favorite cupcake place in the city. I've had Sugar Bliss, Molly's & Sarah's Candies (saying I'm somewhat of a cupcake fanatic is putting it lightly) but I always go back to Sweet Mandy B's! The cupcakes are really moist & the icing is perfect! I personally am a fan of very sweet icing. The two I suggest you must get is the Banana with white frosting & the Orange Dreamsicle.
My only complaint also is the very small space which can be a nightmare when it's crowded.
Having lived in a big city all my life, I really enjoy an experience that takes me out of my element. This is one of those places.
From the decor to the employees.
The desserts are not as fancy or as inventive as let's say More cupcakes (YUM btw) but they are excellent executions of traditional recipes. You can tell the freshness and qualitiy in their products from the very first bite.
Prices are also very reasonable..cupcakes, cookies, and pies. They also do cakes for your occasions as well.
I love this place
What a delightful little gem! It sits right across from my friend's apartment so we ventured over there after a street festival one hot, sticky day. Among our food choices were my chocolate bread pudding creation, a dreamsicle cupcake, and a carrot cake cupcake (I think). All in all I would say everyone really enjoyed their dessert. I even got a carton of milk to wash it all down - aaaaah.
What I liked most about this place was how helpful and nice the salesgirls were. I had 100 questions because they had such a HUGE variety of things to choose from (all in very large portions, may I add) that I didn't know what to order! Nor did I know what everything was but they were patient and gave me a full description of their treats. And they've got a picture of Barack giving some of their cupcakes to Joe Biden for his birthday so you know they're totally amaaaazing.
I do not get it!!!! Someone tell me. Do the cupcakes taste better at the bakery than bringing them home and eating them? They are just ok, nothing at all to brag about. Perhaps people are scarfing down way too much frosting and can't tell that the cupcake is actually dry like a snake. I've never been to this bakery but my ofifce orders cupcakes from this place ALL the time, I have tried every possible flavor they have brought in and am disappointed everytime. Oprah and everyone else has hyped this place up and I was excited when Sweet Mandy B's started making appearances at the office, but every time I'm disappointed. It was hyped up too much I guess. But the cupcakes from Costco are way tastier than Sweet Mandy B's.
I'm a little tempted to go to the bakery to eat one, perhaps it tastes different at the bakery. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm......
So, there are a bigillon reviews of this place so I'll keep it short.
Molasses Cookie with cream cheese icing = Crack
Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie = Ridiculous
Snickerdoodle = Orgasmic
Peanut Butter Cookie = I wish they made this as a face mask, I would wear it all day.
Cupcakes = Uncontrollable drooling
A definite must for the Chicago tourist and resident!
I've got my whole family hooked on this bakery. Since my brothers live in the suburbs, I would usually do a run by here and grab some cupcakes and other desserts on my way out to see them. Now that I have introduced them, we're all hooked.
While there are definitely a lot of fancier bakeries, I like the straightforward old fashioned style of this place. This is definitely an all-American, old fashioned style bakery. The desserts seemed to be made from real ingredients as if you baked them in your own kitchen, but just that much yummier.
The cupcakes are truly the best cupcakes I have had. Just good cake and frosting, not overloaded with fillings and toppings like other places. My family is crazy about the Red Velvet - I have had anything better anywhere I have traveled. Lemon, and the vanilla/chocolate combos are great as well. And there cocoa, I have no idea what they use, but it's delish. Sometimes I'll take home a brownie or the mini flourless chocolate cake. Warmed and served with vanilla ice cream - heaven!
I have a love/hate relationship with this place. Mostly--I love their actual cupcake, but hate their frosting. Which is interesting considering the number of people that tell me they love it and it makes the cupcake. I can't handle the super sweet confectioner's sugar frosting, though. I need the light fluffy, european style of swirlz or sarah's, etc.
Their sugar cookies are to die for though! yum! I love a good iced sugar cookie. I wish actually going into this bakery and ordering were more pleasant. I always come out super pissy.
Let's play a game.
You've had one of the worst days in the history of the world and you're on your way to a dinner you don't really want to go to, to discuss said worst day.
You remember back in college one of your friends worked at an adorable bakery called Sweet Mandy B's and it happens to be on your way to dinner. You stop in to see if anything can cheer you up. Guess what happens?
A) Nothing cheers you up because you hate sweets (hint: This is NOT the correct answer)
B) A cupcake will cheer you up anyday...but which yummy flavor to pick from?
C) Everything there will cheer you up because it's all so good.
D) B & D
The correct answer is D! (even though it is kind of a cheaters answer) Everything I have ever had at Sweet Mandy B's has been out of this world. I think it is hands down my favorite bakery in Chicago, or possibly the western hemisphere. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about their goodies, but don't push it upon you like some other places I know.
I always walk out a little more broke than when I started, but I know it is for a good cause because they always know how to lift my spirits. Granted that's what sugar does to your body, but you know what I'm saying...
As part of the wedding planning process, we finally got a chance to do some of the fun stuff...ie, stuff ourselves silly with delicious cupcakey goodness.
Not being the tasting-type, my fiance and I were not entirely sure how this was supposed to go down. Do we pay for this? How many do we try? How many can we eat before we get physically ill. Fortunately, Tim, one of the super friendly people on staff walked us through the process with incredible ease.
Once seated, I was asked if I would like any coffee or water and presented with 12 cupcakes with various flavors and frostings. My fiance was running late (he was biking over from Logan Square) so I thumbed through the photo albums of specialty cakes while channeling the willpower to not get started without him. (I love cupcakes, if that isn't 100% obvious by now).
The season variety included a tasty strawberry cupcake that we were informed would be traded for pumpkin in a few months. Perfect! Cause that's exactly what we were hoping for.
Some of the cupcakes are a little tastier than others (the banana one with cream cheese frosting was very tasty). Red Velvet is their knock 'em dead seller, but I thought it was a little dry. I have had it before when it isn't dry, and it is absolutely fantastic, so we must have caught on off day for that one.
The bonus? Once we had split about 6 cupcakes, we were told we could take the rest home.
Score!
So good. If you love cupcakes, you need to check this place out.
I haven't been to the actual location, but I have been given their chocolate cupcakes on more than a… Read more »
Yes, we served cupcakes at our wedding. I know, it's trendy, and I hate trendy. But these cupcakes are soooo good. We got tons of compliments on them at the wedding, and the leftovers got even better in the refrigerator overnight. They only reason they get four stars is because they don't deliver, which would have been really helpful.
What's going on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, whats the name of this club?
I can't remember but its alright, I'm alright...at SWEET MANDY B's! - Lady Gaga (Just Dance)
Wow I thought this place was much closer to Lincoln Park than what it actually was LOL. It's kinda painful walking 20 mins from Lincoln Park when you are craving treats. I did however cross by a True Religion jeans store so it wasn't completely out of the way. Anyways, when we finally got to Sweet Mandy B's, we walked into a candy shop like atmosphere. There must've been like over ten workers alone making cupcakes, it was quite hilarious because you would never imagine that many people in a family owned store. We tried several different cupcakes, but yelp users were right - the red velvet cupcake - takes the cake! HAHA... yes it was the best one out of the ones we tried. Make sure to have some water or coffee or tea with your dessert because it can be a bit overwhelming on the sweetness.
