Cities Cupcake Boutique - Knoxville, TN

The date:
3/23/2011, 12pm

The place:
Cities Cupcake Boutique
5201 Kingston Pike Southwest

The ambiance:

The store was cute, the colors were pleasing. This is a pick your food out and leave sort of place, with no seating whatsoever, in a traditional bakery sort of setting.

The food:
New Orleans cupcake. Not custom ordered.
Red velvet cake, cream cheese icing with mardi gras sprinkles

The skinny:
For $3 a cupcake, I was very disappointed. The frosting and cupcake size were fine, but the cake itself was not moist at all. The batter was also a bit on the salty side. The cake texture was a bit more stiff (like a homemade duncan hines concoction that's gone stale).
