Pros: cute decorations, variety of flavors, customizable fondant flowers, adorable shop

Cons: no free tasting, stale cupcakes, a huge disappointment,
Cost: $2.75 per cupcake, $1.50 per mini cupcake

We tasted: Red Velvet, Vanilla Chocolate, Chocolate Lovers', Apple Pie

Tasting #2: Polkatots

Pros: friendly staff, incredibly delicious, free tasting, completely customizable, cuteness factor

Cons: high delivery/set up fee, could not give pricing info right away, pricey

Cost: $3.00 per cupcake, $1.75 per mini cupcake

We are most likely going to go with Cakes Created With Love because Donna's pricing is so terrific.

Brandon and I are so thankful that his mother and step-father are picking up the bill for our cake.
