Minis By Maria

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. You can buy this sure it’s cute and all but the price for a cupcake like a size of a quarter is kinda not worth it. They taste good and all but places like publix and Kroger I could get more cupcakes for a reasonable price.

Minis by Maria, Meh.
Me and my youngest Unilocaler approached the counter with some excitement to try these mini cupcakes. They are definitely presented well and the associates did a good job of greeting and taking our order. We had the salted caramel, birthday cake, red velvet, chocolate (best of the bunch), and coconut. The cupcakes were dry and just okay, the frosting on these cupcakes was equally dry and lacking in flavor. These cupcakes just were not that good, and for the price i paid, really bad. Had they not been minis, I would even say we may not have finished them, which is saying a lot if you know my fondness for sweets. I can honestly say I have had better supermarket cupcakes. I know a lot of businesses don’t like negative reviews, but the truth is I don’t really like leaving bad reviews (okay, maybe i do sometimes) but in this case, we were really hoping to get great cupcakes, and these fell way short.
Maybe it was the fact we came on a Saturday evening and they were not fresh, but even so, an excuse is not a reason for an extra star, and «it still doesn’t get the cream in the cupcake».

Let me start by saying I’m not really a cupcake kind of guy. They’re usually messy and too much of a good thing at once. Not the case with these little cupcakes. I love the minis! They’re the perfect little fix without the messiness and guilt of a bajillion calories. I’m sure if I ate a few of these it’d catch up w/​me, but I like the portion control. Great flavors, moistness, I will forever be a customer when I’m at Northpoint!
