We happened to be walking down Main Street on a Wednesday morning recently when we realized we couldn't resist the cupcakes that were calling to us from behind the window display. All About The Cakes is a new business in town and one that I'm certainly hoping they become a permanent fixture. They have approximately 15 different specialty mouthwatering flavors of cupcakes for you to figure out which ones to take home with you.
I wish their website listed their cupcake flavors, so that I can state with certainly the proper names of our chosen cupcakes. Sadly it does not. (Their website is heavily biased towards their special occasion cakes, but they have a website. Not that many places in Auburn can say that.)
I chose a vanilla cupcake with a strawberry frosting on top while my cupcake buddy selected the one affectionately known by the bakers as "death by chocolate." Chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting all throughout.
I was pleasantly pleased to see that my cupcake had a delicious filling in the middle, as well. I've never had such a fancy, and may I add decadent, cupcake before. It was tough to wait until we were home to eat them, but once they hit our mouths they were all gone in (practically) one quick bite.
Laurie, the owner was there, along with one of her employees. Customer service was prompt and friendly (and patient!! It took us a while to make up our minds; the choices all looked so yummy).
Next time I don't think I'll be able to walk out of there without trying one of the mini cheesecakes. I hope others start reviewing this business, so I don't have to eat my way through reviewing each flavor of cupcake on my own!
Oh and if I remember correctly, I want to say my total for the two cupcakes was under $4.00 (I want to say it was $3.21, but that was yesterday---a loooong time ago already!)
I definitely recommend a visit to this sweet treat in Auburn! read more
