Thought we'd stop by and try them but first visit we weren't sure if they were even open, no cars in lot. Went in and we must have disturbed the girl that was running the place because she had an attitude the entire time. We would ask questions and she seemed much more interested in the messages she was getting... More

We stopped by fo an afternoon snack, but found that the place doesn't have seating, so we took our cupcakes to go. The red velvet was good - the cupcake itself was a bit dry, but the cream cheese frosting was excellent and the two paired up well.

I absolutely LOVED my red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and I have had LOTS of red velvet cupcakes. My husband also loved the Peanut butter chocolate cupcake. The Angel cupcake we split. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as our others. It's also a little overpriced, especially since the cupcakes aren't that big(sugar shack in Lansing,... More

It was early afternoon & they had only 3 flavor options left. They were ok, a little dry & def not worth gourmet prices. Go a couple blocks over to Hot Pink- theirs are to die for!!!

The cupcakes are a bit expensive especially as they aren't big cupcakes. The red velvet is very good I usually find that many places make red velvet and it taste just like chocolate but this one has the distinct red velvet taste. I would go back to buy red velvet cupcakes.

The staff is always helpful and they always have a great selection of cupcakes. Try it every season to make sure you can taste all of their seasonal selections

Have tried a few times. Each time the cupcakes are dry and tasteless. Icing is always dried out. The flavors are always off and sometimes just plain gross. Just another place in ILM that is over hyped.

The cupcakes are very good. Not cheap, but worth it. We really like the hostess "style" cupcakes. The look just like the chocolate hostess cupcakes but are 100 times better.

This is not a place you'd want to go if you are in the mood to hang. The ambiance is cute, it is a little home transformed into a shop. They have a few retail items, bumper stickers and cupcake display racks but other than that, and of course, the display case of goodies, that's it. We got their key... More
