I honestly think the frosting had gone bad. The place itself is super cute with the self serve honor system and they even had gluten free options, which I thought was great. But I got the chocolate mint cupcake and it must have been sitting out way too long or something because it was not edible.

Check out the new second location of sinful cupcakes. Cute decorated little shop. There is a little…read moretable with two seats inside, but it's for event taste testing only. There are quite a few outdoor tables, though. Tried the Sinful caramel pecan carrot cake cupcake. The caramel was put on the cupcake after I selected it. It was very good, tender, sweet. I especially liked the small chocolate toffee cookie topping. The cupcake was very expensive, a gourmet cupcake price at $4.50. It was on the smaller side. Maybe if it was a little bit bigger, then I would've been more satisfied. So probably not a place I would frequent often just because of the price. But boy was the cupcake good! The owner was very nice to talk to.

Ok, first off this place is SO cute and the most perfect pink girly boutique of my dreams. We were…read moregreeted right away by the sweetest lady. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of flavors and they even have gluten free and vegan options. The cake on the cupcakes is delicious my only complaint is that the frosting is very rich and is slightly disproportionate to the amount of cake - I wanted more cake! I had the biscoff cupcake and it was amazing. These cupcakes are on the pricier side but definitely worth it for a sweet treat. :)

I was in this past weekend because I am planning for an event and I wanted to taste these cupcakes…read moreand see if I wanted them for our event. We ordered a few of the smaller mini-cupcakes to taste like Carrot and Chocolate Peanut Butter and I LOVED the taste. Of all the different places we visited this past weekend these were perhaps the best tasting. They remain moist which makes them extremely tasty. However, at $32-$38 per dozen these are about twice the cost of other cupcakes or desserts. I always do the math and I am not sure Pink Baking is worth twice as much as other cupcake options in the area or other desserts. With all that said, the service was very friendly and I love the decor inside. I am not sure I have met anyone who doesn't think Pink isn't delicious. I really like this place and suggest others give it a try, but it isn't necessarily the most bang for your buck and that is okay.

From the consultation to advice on quantities and flavors to the delivery everything was easy and delicious. For a guest count of around 80 I ordered pies in apple, chocolate mouse, cherry and pecan and pumpkin , brownies in both chocolate and salted caramel and both sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies and cupcakes in carrot cake , vanilla, red velvet and chocolate. Enough for everyone to have samples of everything . Yes I overordered but I don't regret it at all and nothing went to waste. We purchased cute to go boxes off Amazon just in case and and many guests were happy to leave with an extra cupcake or brownie and for those who did Airbnb and were staying a few days the extra pies were a welcome treat for breakfast the next day. I wish we had taken a picture of the full desert bar because it was amazing.

When my friend and I walked in the woman behind the case said hello then looked right back down at her phone. My friend and I were asking each other questions about the desserts at an audible volume yet the woman did not once look up from her phone to ask if we needed help. A couple other people walked in at this time and she immediately served them. The cases were full of description cards with no matching dessert behind them, and there were things written on the menu that were not in the cases. They did have about five different cupcake flavors, two cookie flavors, as well as a couple other packaged desserts. I asked the woman to describe one of the cookies to me and she did, then I opted for a salted chocolate chunk which was very good. I was immediately turned off by the staff member being on her phone and not offering to help us when we arrived for our first time there so for that reason I'm not compelled to return.

Not a single worker seemed happy to be there, and when we were given our ice cream, they practically threw it down on the counter!

We also tried to order waffle cones and they told us they were out as if we were supposed to know that. Yikes!
