Wait till you try “The Perfect Circle Cupcakery” – worst cupcakes I have ever tried in my life and I never, ever thought cupcakes could ever be bad. Ehhh maybe but bad?!?!?! I love Sprinkles’sprinkles too!

AND you should totally have a cupcake cake – it would be splendid!

Their cupcakes are decent enough (better than Sprinkles but not as good as Violet’s just down the street) and they’re cute and come in nice packages, but the owner is a nightmare to deal with and the customer service was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. The girls behind the counter are consistently rude and full of attitude. I don’t know about their store on Arroyo, but I’m talking about their location in Old Town. For the customer service alone, I will not be going back to Dots. I only went there because Violet’s isn’t open on certain days, but now I don’t even bother.

Those are almost too cute too eat! But I would.

I definitely agree with the sentiment that Yelp reviews can be a bit of a mixed bag. As a pretty active Yelper, I have seen many places that I find perfectly respectable get reamed out for inconsequential factors or personal grievances. While I do consult Yelp before dining at a new place, I’ve learned to take the majority of reviews with a grain of salt. I focus on the opinions of those yelpers that I trust and know personally — the reviewers who are not just looking for something to complain about.

You’re not alone in your praise of cupcakes! Indeed, it sounds like the fad is far from over. Let’s hit up some of these spots! http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-cupcakes3-2009jun03,0,6376640.story

Hey Gastronomer — unrelated to cupcakes, I read this blog post about a “guilty pleasure dinner party” and thought you might be interested in the idea — http://icanhascook.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/guilty-pleasures-dinner-party/

You might also be intrigued by the Potato milkshake. Yes, it’s an Irish food blog.

Hooray for Dots!!!! And BOO to the yelper haters! So glad you tried it & liked it…as I said before, I lived on these whilst preggo (as you can see in my Blogger & Twitter icons)! I’m pretty sure my son has Dots in his blood. haha

There is hate out there for Dots? WTF?! Like I said before, a trip to the courthouse for me is not complete without Dots.
