The cake was extremely dry, thick and had no flavor. The frosting was too thick and again had no flavor. My friend and I bought 5 cupcakes and brought them back to our hotel. We each took two bites of our cupcakes and threw them away, plus the others that we bought. I seriously wanted to call up Buttercup and tell them shame on them for selling these cupcakes! I will never go back there. Even a Walmart cupcake is better than Buttercup.

Be impressed by: 1) The Lemon Cake is very good -- just take off 2/3 of the frosting because it's way too sweet for us. 2) Chocolate Sour Cream Cake -- this one is right on the money with texture and taste and surprisingly, not too sweet! :) My favourite cake in the shop! 3) Banana Pudding. To be frank, they don't have the best cupcakes, but it's still better than Crumbs or Magnolia in our opinion. We've never had bad service and we come here often in the evenings because the shop is in our neighbourhood! Seating is very limited, though!

I live right near here, so one night I wanted to get a cupcake. I got one, and they look so good from the window. I was really excited,then immediatly disappointed. It was dry and too sweet (and I like really sweet things). Now I have to make a trip to crumbs for cupcakes : (

i've tried many cupcakes in this city and so far, these are the best, or near the top (depending on flavor). The red velvet is my favorite and the banana pudding is delicious. I haven't tried one that is 'dry' so maybe it was a bad batch or I've just been lucky. Magnolia chocolate cupcakes are much more dry than any I've had here. These are fantastic and my go to!

The cupcakes really aren't that great. They are typically dry and the frosting is way too sweet, as if they don't even take the measure of tasting the batch after they've whipped it up. The vanilla frosting on the red velvet was disappointing, the taste did not flow.

The cake part of the cupcake is very dry and so dry as to be inedible a few hours after purchase. The huge mound of icing is way too sweet so most of remains uneaten. There are definitely better cupcakes in New York City!

My boyfriend and I went and tried 3 different types of cupcakes. I had a devil cupcake and chocolate with chocolate frosting and both the cake and frosting were so dry and unappealing I didn't finish either. My boyfriend had a red velvet cupcake which was really good and a chocolate chip cookie bar which was pretty okay. I was disappointed since I had heard such good things about the place and made a special trip to eat there and then I didn't even finish my dessert
