Lenox Cupcakes

I mentioned that I purchased some cupcakes for the eye doctor and his staff after the "incident" last week. I'd seen some reviews of Lenox Cupcakes online and wanted to try them. I love cupcakes! After I ate lunch, I headed to Phipps Plaza, which is where Lenox Cupcakes is located. I parked in the parking deck and just happened to park pretty close to the escalator that took me right to Lenox Cupcakes. Yay me!

It looked like they had gotten in a shipment of new boxes or tables or something because the store was kind of a mess. It wasn't dirty, but a little messy. That didn't bother me at all. I've worked retail and know that you will get in the middle of something and the entire town decides to come shop. The lady behind the counter was finishing up with another customer, so that gave me some time to pick out the cupcakes I wanted. I chose two caramel vanilla, two red velvet, and two chocolate/vanilla cupcakes as my gift. I also purchased a caramel vanilla and a pumpkin spice for me to share with Justin. The cupcakes are $2.50 each, which is about what other bakeries charge. These are standard size cupcakes with lots of icing.

I dropped off the box at the doctor's office and headed home. I waited a few hours before I tried some of the caramel vanilla cupcake. I was actually slightly disappointed. The cake was a little dry and the icing was nothing special. The cupcake did have a gooey caramel filling that was unexpected and good. I didn't hate the cupcake, but in my opinion, it wasn't anything special. When Justin got home, he tried a bite of the pumpkin cupcake and then moved on to the caramel vanilla one. He said he liked the caramel vanilla one better. I tried the pumpkin one and loved it! It was fantastic! The cake was moist, but not too moist, and the icing was perfect. It was light and fluffy cream cheese icing. Mmmm... Justin actually preferred the caramel vanilla cupcake and I preferred the pumpkin cupcake.

I'll probably visit Lenox Cupcakes again in the near future. Maybe they'll still have the pumpkin cupcakes.
