Used to be good, now just expensive

by Momolechien

I used to be a fan of crave cupcakes but recently, my ratings for this local cupcake place have declined. Other friends of mine have had the same experience. A few of my orders recently (last 6 months) have been UNDERCOOKED and flour was left in them or over mixed so they were hard as rocks (no fluffiness) and were just topped with the strawberry cream cheese icing to hide the defect. This hasn't been a one time event, if it had been I wouldn't write this review. Mistakes happen. [at first i thought it was just the strawberry vanilla ones, then it was also the others...] However, as of recent, things have changed and for over $3 a cupcake, I want my money's worth. Needless to say, it was embarrassing that I served a client an undercooked cupcake (which = a cupcake spit up in a napkin)-- luckily, the contract was complete :)

Im sad to say that Crave needs to focus more on its baking than its chicness.

• Pros: Clean, Catchy, Cute
• Cons: Expensive, Poor Flavor

Crave is all about the image. if you want a cupcake worth $3 drive to austin and go to hey cupcake. they are super moist and delicious with an awesome staff and not pretentious jerks.
