2 Responses to “Let Them Eat Cupcakes”
I have had a chance to eat at all of these places with Camicakes being the last one over the weekend, I drove past it completly by accident. I hate to say it but I bought a few different types and they were not very good, I am not sure if it was an off day or they used too much salt instead of sugar but for the life of me I can’t see the pull here. I even shared them with the other people in my book club and was embarassed. I wanted them to be good the sign was so cute and I thought it has to be good but nope.
Yes X 6!
