Restaurant Review: CakeLove in Tyson's Corner Mall

I'm a total geek.  I will read anything, so my feedreader has like 1000 blogs feeding it (at any given time I've got about 500 posts waiting to be read).  I've got some links to food blogs - and some CAKE and CUPCAKE blogs - who knew there were such things!!  Anyway, I've been drooling over pictures of cakes and cupcakes for a while now, hoping to run across a cupcake store somewhere (all the blog posts about cupcake stores were for stores not in my area).

Well, Sunday hubby sent me shopping by myself for some well-deserved alone time and I saw CakeLove!  A cupcake store!

I bought 5 for $15 - kinda pricey but I figured it was worth it for just-baked all-natural cupcakes!

I got a coffee one, chocolate with vanilla icing, chocolate with chocolate icing, vanilla with vanilla icing and vanilla with chocolate icing.

My hubby said "eh." when he ate his.

Mine was over cooked and the top of the cupcake (under the icing) was hard!  Not full of flavor either.

THE SIX YEAR OLD WOULDN'T EAT IT - HE DIDN'T LIKE THE TASTE (OR LACK OF) AT ALL.

Bummer.  I had such high hopes, but at least I won't be paying $3 a cupcake all the time!

Aww, that is *really* disappointing. I've been to the one in Shirlington and I thought it was pretty good. The cupcakes aren't that exciting, but the combinations with the frosting make all the difference. And the shortening in the frosting is so bad for you... but sooo good.
