As far as first impressions go, the cupcake is adorable! What a cute little flower. Second, the paper peeled off very nicely (you may be laughing but it's really annoying when the papers stick too much to the cupcakes).
Then the first bite......the cake was SUPER moist and was my own little slice of chocolate heaven. The cupcake to frosting ratio was good. I give it 2 thumbs up!!

I didn't know cupcakes could be so moist. It wasn't heavy like a Starbucks pastry but it was massive. I felt like I was eating a slice of a much larger cake rather than simply a bite-sized cupcake. It was the kind of cupcake you bite into and say "wow."

For starters, the cupcakes are about the size of a muffin, although Hatherley will make smaller cupcakes for special orders. She then cuts them in half horizontally and fills them with flavored butter creams, chocolate mousse or chocolate ganache, what she calls, a “chocolate and cream, fudgey mix.”
The fillings and flavors like lemon chiffon, strawberry, chocolate peanut butter, Oreo, toffee, banana, raspberry — Hatherley makes 60 different varieties she’s developed over her three years in business — exist a few steps along the road to full cupcake appreciation.
That road starts with the eyes and only then moves on to taste and texture.
The display case shows off a variety of elaborately decorated cupcakes. Some punctuated with a fresh strawberry on top. Others finished with a plastic ghost ring in celebration of the season. Others sport flowers, a quartered peanut butter cup, others flow with orange, yellow and brown butter cream frosting in keeping with autumn colors.
