Mini's Cupcakes
Mini's has two locations one on 8th south between State and Main and the other on 11th east between 17th and 18th south. For $2.00 you can have a tiny, baked from scratch, cupcake. They use high quality ingredients and you will not find any shortening or fillers in there cakes or frostings. They have many traditional flavor combinations along with some unique creations. You can check out their web page at www.mini-cupcakes.com.
In my opinion the baking is solid. The basic vanilla cake with chocolate frosting is a delightful reminder of childhood with a little grown up twist with the dark chocolate ganache. My other favorite has been the lemon cupcake with meringue it is well balanced with a fragrant cake and not too sweet topping finished with a tart lemon curd center; perfect for those who cant stand overly sweet confections.
However, I do think there are some aspects of the presentation and final execution that could be greatly improved. I am also bothered by the price point for such a small dessert, especially if buying in quantity for special occasions.
Overall Mini's is great if you want a quick little pick me up after work. I would recommend going elsewhere if you need to serve dessert to more than a couple people.
