While visiting family, we stopped in to pick up dessert, but unfortunately left disappointed. We…read moreordered three slices of cake ($10.99 each) and a cupcake for $4.99. Given the price point, we were expecting something a bit more elevated. We tried the carrot cake, triple chocolate, and banana pudding cake. Each had a very thick layer of frosting, and overall the flavor and texture reminded us more of a boxed mix than a freshly made bakery product. Think Duncan Hines flavor and frosting. I genuinely like supporting small businesses and don't leave negative reviews lightly, but in this case, the quality didn't seem to match the cost.

Cindy did a wonderful job on the cupcakes for our wedding reception. What I love about her cupcakes…read moreis that they taste as good as they look. I have been to many boutique cupcake shops in the area and have always found the cupcakes to be too dry, too sweet, etc. Hers are perfectly delicious and just right! She has awesome flavors that taste as good as they look. For our fall wedding we chose the Maple Bacon, Pumpkin Spice, S'Mores, and Lemon Lavender. They were a hit and eaten up quickly. My brother-in-law and his fiance also decided to use Bluebird for their wedding. I highly recommend Cindy and her cupcakes.

Bittersweet has amazing desserts and drinks. I've been several times and each time I enjoy what…read moreI've had. A solid go-to is their s'mores sundae which is sooo good! The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.

Many were the days that I lamented the lack of a proper dessertery when I worked in downtown…read moreRaleigh. So I filled my needs at Square Rabbit or went without. Little did I know Cupcake Stop Shop had quietly opened, tucked away in an indoor area of multi-vendors in Moore Square. I noticed they were listed as a vendor at the upcoming Yelper party, and finding myself in the area for First Friday, I eagerly pounced on a preview. It's a tiny and unassuming shop -- in many ways it feels like it's still growing into its decor and intended atmosphere. But the cheery tower cupcake display on the right and the filled cases at the cashier counter both pulled me in. I ended up with a half-dozen flavors (spurred on by the huge variety, as well as a Yelp deal!) and a couple of cake truffles (think: mini cake balls). The owner is incredibly nice and personable, and I have to credit her with having both the creativity and dedication to churn out so many different varieties... a definite strength of this shop. But I feel I'm becoming a bit of a cupcake snob -- as you may gather from my lengthy, growing list of cupcake reviews -- and there were a few things that fell short for me with these... size-wise, they are more petite than most, but I think that the reasonable price reflects this. The main fault with the cupcakes is in the sweetness. I know some will call me crazy: It's a cupcake -- of course it's sweet! But I think mastering the cupcake (and flavors like Chocolate Covered Strawberry) is all about mastering the balance of the flavors of the cake, the filling, the icing, and the chocolate drizzle. Instead of getting a harmonious blend of tangy strawberry, creamy whipped topping, sweet yet summery cake, chocolate bitters, I just felt like I got a lot of sugar. And this was true of most of the flavors. Of the bunch, my favorite was definitely the Snickerdoodle (in which the cinnamon really offset the cake nicely), followed by the Banana Puddin (a close taste resemblance of the traditional). I did think the cake truffles were winners -- fudgy, rich chocolate on the inside, and a light white chocolate candy coating on the outside... but they are quite small. Turn 'em in to fuller-sized cake balls, and they'd be irresistible to this sweet tooth!
