I knew there was a cupcake shop near my hometown, so I decided to look for it today.
Not sure I should have wasted my time or gas. After finding it and walking inside, it was immediate disappointment. I was expecting to find a bright, lively shop. Instead, it was in bad need of a paint job, and the front window was in bad need of attention. I'm not saying I'm an expert on how it should look, but if I was disappointed before even tasting the cupcakes, that isn't a good sign. I think if you are going to go to the expense of opening and maintaining a shop, you should make it look as good as you can. First impressions are everything.
The cupcake I got wasn't that great either. It was supposed to be a pink lemonade cupcake. The cake was really dense. Not light and fluffy at all. I didn't notice any lemon flavor either.. I just have this nasty taste in my mouth 3 hours after I ate it. Not sure what it is, but it's not a good taste.
I don't like to complain about businesses, but, like I said before, if you are going to run a business that you want to do well, appearance matters.
