Emily: The red velvet cupcake I had at SusieCakes was definitely the best so far. It was similar in taste to the red velvet cupcake at La Provence but I gave it a higher rating for a few reasons. (1) I liked the frosting better at SusieCakes and there was even some frosting injected into the actual cupcake. (2) Also this cupcake was bigger and was well-worth the $3. (3) The best thing about this SusieCakes cupcake was the actual cake part and the quality was excellent. I didn’t give it a ten rating because there was a bit too much frosting which was pretty sweet. Once again the people working there were very nice and gave good recommendations.  Virginia and I decided though that most people selling cupcakes would probably be nice. I can’t imagine you would choose that line of work if you were grumpy and unhelpful.

Virginia: SusieCakes you just blew my mind. When Em and I first walked in we both noticed how colorful and pretty the cupcakes were and I instantly wanted to NOM on all of them but decided on going with the mocha cupcake since thats usually my go to flavor besides chocolate. But then I decided to take a chance so I decided to ask the girl working there which one was her favorite. She said that the seasonal cupcake, the white chocolate strawberry cupcake, had fresh strawberries baked in the cake and was absolutely delicious. I don’t really like white chocolate and I would usually never go for a cupcake like this, but I felt bad denying her opinion after she so passionately described it, so I agreed. We paid, drove back to my house, took some pics for you guys to drool over, and then I inhaled that seasonal white chocolate strawberry cupcake. It was there, and then it wasn’t. The only negative thing that I would have to say, was that the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, there was a lot of it so the sugary taste lingered for a while. But since overall it was delicious, I didn’t even notice that until I was done and licking the frosting off my fingers and plate. Other positive points: this place is adorable and has a cute seating area out front, they make custom cakes and their cupcakes are a little larger than the other ones but still manageable and not more expensive. In conclusion I am team SusieCakes all the way.
