we love other people's cupcakes too!

since we love trying other peoples cupcakes as well as baking our own we decided to review some cupcake shops in la/ nyc/ nj. here's how we decided to rate them! the cupcakes will be rated on frosting, cake, and taste. the shops will be rated on prices, presentation and of course our favorite cupcake the red velvet! each category will be rated from one to five cupcakes, one being the worst and five being the best. enjoy!
