Additional Notes:
Their fudge cake is absolutely fantastic! You can definitely tell the difference between this fudge cake and a regular chocolate cake. It's slightly more dense, softer, and richer. The light and fluffy buttercream matched with it is superb.
They have a cupcake calendar available for pick up in store. Each day of the month they have three cupcake flavors available. Attached to the calendar are detailed descriptions of all their cupcake flavors... I can't wait to go back to try the chocolate stout, rocky road, key lime pie, and/or tiramisu! Wowza!
In addition to a fabulous cupcake, check out how it is packaged. There is an adorable ribbon wrapped around the box. No, I didn't have to ask or pay extra; that's just how they come! So dainty!
Along with the (fabulous) bakery/display Bittersweet has a handy gift shop, complete with baking accessories, to the right and a cafe to the left. Talk about one stop shop, especially if you're bringing someone there for an occasion like, say, National Chocolate Cupcake Day (or their birthday...).
