Simply Sweet

So I came across this place today here in little old Punta Gorda. There weren’t many cupcakes to pick from (9 to be exact).I was surprised to say the least. I had 2 options Red velvet and Carrot Cake. Hmmm decisions decisions I went with Red Velvet. well after that I moved on to their chocolate selection which thankfully was way larger then the cupcakes. i ordered to 3×4 inch chocolate covered pretzels covered with m&m’s and Reeses Pieces. My total came out to 6.27. The cupcake was $ 3 each pretzel was$ 1.50.
On to the Food the cupcake was absolutely delicious everything Red Velvet should be moist, not to rich with that little hint on cocoa. The amount of frosting was perfect so many cupcake bakeries over do it, but they did it perfectly. They 3 stars are honestly for deliciousness, the variety of chocolate candies and the cuteness of the shop. The selection of cupcakes though was disappointing and presentation of these product was a little week for a mid day Saturday.
The customer service was OK the young girl that helped me was nice and answered my question. The cashier she handed my items to… well I had to wait with her to finish her conversation with what seemed like someone more interested in them then their jobs. I finally got my total while she continued her conversation.
If you want a good reasonable cupcake stop by its worth i5 just don’t except 5 star service

Sis-​in-​law homed in on this place walking out of the village after lunch. Some really nice confectionaries there — and they bought a bunch. All really looked great!
I held out for some of the ice cream they offered. Expensive? Not at all considering the quality. I really liked it (key lime here). Again — do you want quality or quantity?

It’s not the best, but it’s ok and takes care of the sweet tooth. Definitely a place for tourists, not locals or regulars.

Hard to miss this pink confection: it’s right at the entrance to Fisherman’s Village. Inside, girls in poofy hats with pink feathered flair wait expectantly for you to snap up bonbons and fudge… and seem a little miffed if you don’t. I browsed for Florida-​themed candy to take home with me (there is some, but a lot is along the lines of «Gator Poop»…no thanks. I got some fruit jelly and coconut samplers).
Much of the other prepared candy is the old-​fashioned kind.
Since this is a place that draws tourists, products are on the costly side.
I don’t know that this would be a regular stop for me in Punta Gorda, but for my tourist needs it did the job.
