Comments on: My Little Cupcake, Neutral Bay http://www.notquitenigella.com/2007/10/18/my-little-cupcake-neutral-bay/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I spied the MLC van out the front this morning and thought "ooooo". After taking a bit into my cupcake I remembered your review. Even years on it's not only the icing that tastes like it came from Woolies but the cake too. I've admired this shop after stumbling across their website but living too far away have never got to try their cupcakes until today. Someone mentioned $4 a pop? Huge rip off, you can probably get a whole cake from Woolies for $4 that would taste exactly the same. At $4 each I would expect it to taste buttery and sugary not commercial.

I did on 2 occasions and a few people did not think the cake was fresh and a couple of days old. I did buy 4 cupcakes that definitely were not fresh from a shop at Double Bay that they supply with orders Anyone bought the giant cupcake.

But good effort from them though. I’ve tried them before..not overly excited about it..to me boring flavours..hmm more like flavour since all are vanilla.

I always feel like cupcake and chocolate shops, are such charmed little places that the service should match and it's a letdown when it doesn't.

The cupcakes are nice, but I've started making them myself as it got too expensive to buy from them.

We all know that plain cupcakes can be whipped up (a la Nigella) in about 10 minutes courtesy of the food processor so I dont understand why they persist in having such a limited range. So although I would shop there if there was a prospect of something interesting (passionfruit?) or even very chocolately (I suspect cocoa rather than chocolate is the basic ingredient) I cant say I think it worth the walk. However I will look out for your cupcakes at Kirribilli! As a local resident I completely agree with your comments and would add that at $4 a cake they are expensive.
