Unfortunately, this time didn't hit. My daughter liked them, but didn't love them -- and that's usually not the case with cupcakes. Her go-to move is eating the icing first, and even that got shut down. The frosting had a crusty texture instead of being soft and creamy. The cakes themselves were dry. I've never seen her ask for milk with cupcakes, let alone take a sip after every bite. That's when it hit me -- maybe the mistake was trusting the pre-order to be fresh. I probably would've been better off just picking 6 straight from the display case. Very disappointing, especially for a birthday treat. Not sure I'd recommend pre-ordering from here again.

Long story short, she did not call, so I called several times over the week, left at least two messages, and here we are on May 4th, our consult day, and she has not returned any of our communications.

The cupcakes were perfectly moist. The presentation was good. Some of the flavors were a little too sweet for me.

We went to the Fair Oaks Mall last weekend. Since we had some time before we went to dinner, I…read moretook a walk around the mall as we hadn't been here in quite some time. I was interested to see what stores were still around and what new ones were there. As I took the escalator up to the second level (where Sears used to be) I saw a sign that said "Irresistable Cupcakes". Well...they had me at "cupcakes" :D I stopped in and the man who was working there welcomed me. He was patient as I looked over their offerings. I ended up buying one strawberry shortcake cupcake and one vanilla cupcake. When he put the cupcakes in a container and then a bag, he gave me their business card. Apparently, they also do catering and will do custom cakes. Later that day, we tried the cupcakes. My husband really liked the strawberry shortcake one and said the strawberry flavoring came through clearly. He even suspected that some strawberry flavoring was added to the cake part. I enjoyed the vanilla one which actually had subtle vanilla flavor. As for ambience --- It's a small place with a couple of tables for those who want to eat their cupcakes right after buying them. We both agree that next time we're at the mall, we will once again bring some cupcakes home with us!

Have no idea how she calls herself a "baker". Contacted this lady about having a gender reveal cake for a girl a week prior. Sent her a picture, printed a picture with specific details of the cake we needed. Asked her if she was able to make the EXACT cake and she says YES . I had turned down other bakers because this was an actual store vs someone baking from home. Worst mistake ever! Look at the pictures of the cake i asked for vs the cake she gave us. I asked her for updates on the cake just incase something goes wrong i can try to fix it.. she responds "what kinda updates u want" ... are u kidding me?! Super ghetto! Starts making cake the day before i needed it, calls and asks me if i wanted green or blue... IT'S A F'n GENDER REVEAL cake!!!! What gender is green?!?! Wtf! I hesitantly said yes just the light blue.. she rudely says "no no no not light blue i only have blue blue"... im like wtf how does a baker not have light blue?!?! How do u have a store?!? I saw on her instagram she has made a cake with lightblue before. Anybody knows that gender reveals are soft pink and soft blue colors .. this lady used hot pink and royal blue!!!! To top it off, one of the cones was lopsided and almost falling over. And she just shruggs her shoulders. You cant even read the words on the cake it looks like a 10yr old made this sht! I also SPECIFICALLY asked for the inside to be PINK... it was just cake with a super light tint of red. She butchered this damn cake and i hope no one else falls for this damn trap like i did! I paid $160 for this bs! Telling everyone i know to stay away from this disaster! And warn your friends How do you not have different colors?!? How can u not know how to make a blue lighter by mixing white?! How can u not go and get a lighter blue or lighter pink instead of just making your own stupid version Exact cake means EXACT!

I called Mashel, the baker/business owner to place my order for a dozen of the classic vanilla. She was very friendly and professional via our call and exchanging texts. I believe she bakes from her home. We coordinated a delivery time and I met her at a local elementary school. Alternatively she will deliver to Columbia, Ellicott City, Clarksville, Elkridge, & North Laurel for orders of 2 dozen or more, per her website. She arrived on time for my pickup for an event the following day. I put the cupcakes in the fridge overnight. The following day the cupcakes were taken out of the fridge around 9:30 am and eaten around noon. I loved the cake itself as it was moist. The icing and cake were both flavorful, however, the icing was too soft. The texture was not what I am accustomed to and not sure if being in the fridge had something to do with it. Presentation wise the cupcake looked simple with sprinkles on top. It looked cupcakes you would find at the grocery store including the plastic packaging. I was surprised when I saw the cupcakes how small they were. I was expecting them to be bigger if they are normally valued at $30. Other bakeries may charge $3-$4 more for a dozen but they are considerably bigger. Also, if I go to other brick and mortar bakeries, for a comparable price I am able to choose different flavors whereas here I am limited to a dozen of the same flavor.
