I am not very picky about my sugary sweets, so my thoughts that these cupcakes are wonderful does not hold much weight, but they are great. My husband, on the other hand, is very very VERY picky. He tried one of the chocolate cupcakes and fell in love! He has sworn off cupcakes with icing from a can and declares that We Take the Cake has the BEST cupcakes, with the best icing, he has ever had. To win over my husband is impressive.
Also, with regards to shipping the sweets: We live in NY and had the cupcakes shipped. They all arrived in perfect shape in the dry ice cooled package.
