Got four different kinds to share wtih my sister on a long road trip. We couldn't finish them - though we came closer than I'd like to admit! - and I gotta say I was a wee bit disappointed. <br/><br/>I agree with everyone that the place is adorable, the service is fantastic, and I'd go back to pick up cupcakes on the way to a small get-together or to perk up a heartbroken coworker. They're cute little pick-me-ups, and I love the concepts behind each one. But the taste ... other than the Marilyn Monroe (butter cream frosting and vanilla), the frosting on the others was funky. Too sweet, too strong ... too something ... and the cupcakes were moist and tasty enough, but nothing impressive.<br/><br/>Like I said, I'd go back. I'd like to support their efforts. But I hope they think about adjusting a few things. I made it to Sugar Mama’s, too. Got four different kinds to share wtih my sister on a long road trip.

Really cute place and creative flavors. Also, the owners have a cute son (sugarbaby?) named Jack who played with my son. However, the French Toast cupcake (maple cupcake and maple cream-cheese frosting) was way to sweet and rich for my taste. At a party a few days later, I tried one of their red velvet cupcakes and it was much better. I hope to go back and give it another try! I went to Sugarmama’s right when it opened last weekend.

Their cupcakes are dry, their frosting has a weird aftertaste, and they are way too pricey to boot. I can’t wait to check this place out. I drive past it all the time and have never noticed it.
