For my husbands birthday, we each picked a fancy cupcake at Hey Cupcake. We tried Plain Jane, Ghostbuster, Cookies n' Cream, and Red Velvet. One of cupcakes was iced just when I got there. The icing has the ability to 'dry', so it has a very delicate crust and the inside is super moist.
The cupcake itself has a freshly baked crust. You can tell they have not been sitting in a container all day. Once you bite into the cake it is also super moist. For freshness we all rated our cupcakes a '10'.
I do not understand the other review of this bakery. It was a truly fresh and memorable cupcake. I would encourage everyone to try it as they are much fancier and tastier than grocery store quality.
I have also used them for a corporate event, again excellent product.
I find the cupcakes never taste fresh, they always seem like they are at least 3 days old...and the icing is hard on the outside. I think they are over priced as well. It looks great from the outside, with a great shop and the cupcakes look yummy but I have tried them three times now, and each time, I am unimpressed with the freshness...so I do not recommend it.
Located in Sherwood Park, this bakery is all about the cute factor. They do miniature and regular-sized cupcakes in adorable pop culture themes, such as Men are from Mars, Salt ‘N Peppa and Pretty in Pink. The Southern Belle is a lovely red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing, while the Lemony Snicket is a heavenly lemon cake with lemon filling and lemon buttercream icing. They even make custom cupcakes with edible ink photos on them – perfect for parties!
