I have been wanting to try their cupcakes, but I live so far away and would need them to be shipped. I could not imagine paying $29 for a dozen PLUS $26 for shipping. I'm on their e-mail list and they have a 24 hour promo code from tonight's episode (it's the weight of their world record cupcake). It's 40% off so the total was $33.

I almost didn't submit my order, but it's only for 24 hours and I've been wanting to try their cupcakes (especially some of the ones they have recipes for in their book).

I'll let you know what I think!

Well, well, what's the promo code???

$33 for cupcakes.....holy moses

$33 is cheaper then what I sell my cucpakes for... without shipping. Might as well try them while I can get them! So I really would like to order some now! Anyone have the code?? Because I am sitting thru this horrible episode waiting for them to say the final weight so I can finish my order.

wow.........I would never spend that much haha

You would if you lived/visited San Francisco

Just ordered, thanks!

PS code was 2594

Wow, I sell 12 cupcakes for $48. The same price for what my base price is for wedding cupcakes. I wouldn't price them any less because that would only encourage people to order more.

I can't wait to come to the US and visit some of the famous decorators! Fromscratchsf I am coming to San Fransisco I'll also be visiting LA and Las Vegas.

I haven't personally tried them even though I live right down the road. My girlfriend just got a couple and said the cake was dry, the BC is gross and that mine were better, LOL .

I haven't really heard anything good from any of my friends who have bought them. I don't see myself buying any since I hate cupcakes, LOL .

I'm honestly expecting to hate them just like I hate Sprnkles but curiosity has gotten the better of me!

Nothing to say about their cupcakes BUT I have tried cakeology cupcakes from Boston, and they were fantastic!!!
She won cupcakes wars last year, so I was super curious- and they were better then I could have imagined!
boston cream, red velvet and double chocolate
So if anyone is heading to Boston, I recommend Cakeology!

Jen, I'll send you some if I go. My girlfriend told me that their icing is just like the local bakery here in our town, which is straight up Criscocream. Blech!

Thanks Annie, but I actually ordered some with that discount code.

And honestly I want to examine their packaging to see how they ship. I've seen pictures, but I'd like the "user" experience.

Yes, I am seriously considering adding shipping to my cupcakes very very soon. Especially if I get on Cupcake Wars

Thanks for the code. I just had to try them. I'll let you know how they taste after Jan. 27th!

Hi Osgirl, Thanks for posting this. I am going to place my order now with the special promotion

I've made several of their recipes from their book and I'm not overly impressed with most which is why I want to try them straight from their bakery!

I love their cream cheese frosting, vanilla cupcake, and milk chocolate frosting. Otherwise I prefer the other cupcake recipes I've made and tweaked.

I think $33 is CHEAP! A local cupcake shop (which was been on Cupcake wars) charges that for a dozen w/o shipping.

BTW, the promo code is good through midnight eastern time tonight.

Well, I tried to order mine, but the jerks won't ship to Alaska

you know, since we're on another planet and all

NO, I wouldnt even pay $10,00 lol, but thats just me

So how were the cupcakes?

To be fair, they are exactly what I expected.

Lots of fake extracts and flavors. Lots of food coloring. Frosting is gritty. It's something I am glad I got at a discount.

I am mostly irritated at the packaging. A box in a box in a box in a box. Obscene waist of paper and natural resources for freakin cupcakes. You would have though they were shipping a dozen faberge eggs with how these things were packed!

Yeah, actually, the lemon cupcake? Had one of those fake gummy jelly lemons things on top? They managed to make the entire cupcake, cake and frosting, taste just like it. Odd, really. Just one example.

On a related note, I stopped by the local Gigi's cupcake shop and bought a couple yesterday.
I. Seriously. Don't. Get. It.
Tasted like a cake mix to me. $3.25 each. Slightly bigger than standard size, but not jumbo either.

Never heard of Gigi's. Huh. I'll have to google them. Had a Sprinkles. Same thing. They are all about the same.

Thanks for the update Jen. I'll spend the time I would have spent in line there at the Crime & Punishment Museum instead. Super awesome place.

Gigi's - bleh. We have them here as well and someone got me one for my birthday. There is far more icing than cake. Like 3 inches of sugary sweet icing. Thanks but no thanks.

I don't get the fake flavors too - they're so obvious.

There is a cupcake shop here, only one, that it is ALL scratch. I personally love cake, BUT when you make it, you really don't want to eat it. Kind of like when you cook all day for Thanksgiving, you don't feel like eating...or maybe that's just me. Anyway, every blue moon, I will get a cuocake fromt here and it is just so from scatch and totally awesome that I don't get how some of the other places can compete with this place. But then again she is always sold out and they aren't. And no, this is not for strategy, I know the owner.
