pinkitzel cupcakes & candy

Boy howdy my teeth hurt the minute I walked into this place! They have a great selection of quirky 'I need to buy a gift at the last minute and am willing to pay a little too much for it' items, and a good selection of jelly beans, chocolates and candy. For the 13 year old girl in your life, they even have a room in the back where parties are held. Being somewhat of a cupcake aficionado I went right for those. The cake was pretty nice, I have to say, but there was a ton of icing, so much so that the cupcakes didn't stay upright in the box, no matter how carefully I carried it. Too. Much. Plus there was that fake 'vegetable shortening' aftertaste and just so much sugar and dye that the cupcake's cake quality was undermined by the pound of crappy icing plopped on top. Sadly the cupcakes were also tiny. As in the size in between a regular muffin and a mini muffin, and for $3.50 a pop, it's just not worth it. I've tried cupcakes all over the country. Nothing beats Cupcake Royale (salted caramel) in Seattle.

Stopped here before heading out of Bricktown area. Different variety cupcakes that were moist. The candy shop along with this was great too. So much variety of things in this shop.

This was a "wow" candy store/bakery to visit. Lots of bing, lots of neat things to look at, great items to buy, soft and yummy taffy, lots of candy, beautiful cupcakes, and apparently the Bricktown store they own is getting ready to launch a gluten free cupcake in September (hopefully). I saw a set-up for a child's birthday party -- man, this would be the perfect place for any age girl's b-day party. We loved it!
