I have a serious sweet-tooth. I do my best to curb it from time to time but sometimes I just have to give in an indulge. My sister was recently in town after being in Japan for 3 years for the Navy and there were a few state-side things that she was excited to have. Bacon, a burger and cupcakes. We took care of the first two early on. For the cupcakes she took the liberty of looking up reviews and finding the place for us to go. She did good, real good.

The cake itself is super moist and not overly sweet (still sweet) but it balances out perfectly with the very sweet toppings. They are also BIG and heavy. When she handed over our box of 6 I was surprised by the weight of it.

If you need a fancy, yummy, and impressive gift this is a great local spot. Currently they are finishing up remodeling inside so the drive-thru is the only thing available. The dining room and main storefront is expected to be open by November 1st. There is also a second location opening soon-ish in Meridian.
