It’s finally here … a delectable cupcake to-go box of reviews! For those cupcake eaters that are busy, busy, busy.
Rating System:
After much consideration, we have decided that a scale of sprinkles would be the most appropriate form for rating cupcake eateries.
5 sprinkles = The Cupcake Gang’s highest and most coveted honor
4 sprinkles = Delectable, but not quite up to perfection
3 sprinkles = Fine — we may eat it again, but not if we’re in the mood for greatness
2 sprinkles = Does not appreciate the art that is cupcake eating
1 sprinkle = A shame to cupcake eating society
Each cupcake eatery will be rated largely based on two categories: the cupcake itself and the atmosphere of the cupcake eatery.
Within the “cupcake” section the categories are: cake, frosting and presentation, along with an overall comment on the cupcake.
Within the “atmosphere” section the categories are: service (which includes wait-time and friendliness of staff) and seating (which will not be rated, but will indicate availability), along with an overall comment on the atmosphere.
Now we may begin the short-and-sweet reviews; however, as always, if you are in the mood savoring the experience of The Cupcake Gang’s adventures feel free to look at the longer post. Enjoy!
