text: i realize most of my review is hearsay and conjecture but i was so impressed i had to sharenn I tried and heard of Wicked for the first time when a coworker brought them in for a potluck She also brought in a funny story She emailed her order ahead saying she wanted a dozen of the following cupcakes and proceeded to list the flavors she wanted to make up the dozen However when she arrived to pick them up later that week they read the email as she wanted a dozen EACH of the flavors she listed She felt terrible and offered to pay for all but they were cool as could be and understood the miscommunication and let her off with buying only like a third of the order that is still a lot of damn cupcakes anyway due to her misfortune i was able to sample the red velvet YUM YUM my favorite the peanut butterchocolate and an intense chocolate wchocolate frosting and chocolate goo in the middle nn i am not really a cupcake person nor a chocolate person but these were amazingnn At the potluck the subject of cupcakes in general came up in particular how popular they have become this is news to me but i guess it is super cool and trendy esp in NY to have a cupcake specialty store i mentioned that was funny bc my best friend had just decided to have cupcakes instead of a wedding cake simply because she loves them so much so in her hunt for the bakery to provide the special cakes for her big day she tried three or four bakeries that she just hated she reported most were owned by barbie blonde imarriedformoneybutisuckatdesigninghandbagssoillopenabakery women who is product for lack of a better word sucks she was blown away with how much they were charging and how gross the cupcakes were also they charged her to sample their cakes odd when youre faced with a potentially huge sale not to mention exposure by doing a wedding nanyway she just about lost hope by the time she went to Wicked i swear these are her words that the owner was the coolest nicest most helpful person some interesting things she noted for special occassions like weddings they come and set up their product the other bakeries would not you just have to come pick them up and do it yourself not really something you want to add to your to do list on your wedding day people and when she questioned whether the frosting would hold up to the late May heat he assured her that they will have switched to their summer recipe for frosting which is lighter and will not turn to mush before they can be gobbled up nnnow that my friends is impressive i need an excuse to buy cupcakes now for myself
