Cake in a Cup

Trendy concept however it didn’t deliver. I was über disappointed.
First I walked in and was greeted immediately, good thing. :) Then being my first time I asked how things worked. A few of the flavors of buttercreams were listed but they were out the young lady responded. That was deflating, why list them then?
I went with a chocolate cake, chocolate and vanilla buttercream and they made it Turtle style with caramel and pecans. The buttercream had so much sugar in it that it made my teeth hurt and I felt my teeth were coated with sugar after merely a few bites. :(The cake was really dry and tasted a bit over cooked. I spent over $ 4.00 and I threw it away after 3 bites. :(
If the gals that run ‘cake in a cup’ tweak their buttercream and cake recipes they just maybe on to something… as for me, I’ll stick to making my own sweets.

This place is a really neat idea. The décor is cute/​contemporary/​girlie.
The ladies inside are sweeties. The one lady said she used to work for Astoria Pastry shop in Greektown.
I picked up a dozen cake drops and they were dense and flavorful.
What I don’t like is the parking/​location. You can’t even see if they are open, the sign stuck on the awning is peeling back, and parking is awkward.
I asked them about the signage and they said they were having trouble with city/​county rules and were working at it.
It just seems like the logistics of the place are off. I totally LOVE a new business coming to southgate, especially cupcakes/​sweets, but everything from a non-​attractive exterior, awkward location to get to (hard to explain but you cant easily just turn into them from opposite side of road), to trying to find a website for them, to lack of windows just seems like it wasn’t thought out. I hope I am just being harsh.
The uniqueness of the place and the sweet tastes do help cover come this.
