I had their cupcakes twice without incidence- once at a 21st and once instore and while the service wasn't too bad, I would have liked to have been served more promptly and for the tea selection at Prahan to have been a little better. Personally, I get more from making cupcakes myself (I love the basic vanilla cake and icing in the Crabapple book) and experimenting with piping techniques and colour, but I had a look at Vida's blog and her cake porn is enticing enough to make me track down some of her wares to see if they taste as good as they look. Oh, and muffins are excellent too, but an entirely different kettle of fish to cupcakes. I'm a first time commenter, but I felt like I should wade in for the Crabapple debate.

Sad to see such a well known business go down like that but i think the greed got to her.

I live overseas but am having my wedding in Melbourne and had met with Jennifer about my wedding cake. I only found out by chance today since my friend went by one of their stores. Now I need to find another cake shop from the other side of the world! Jo-anne, can you please give me the details of Judi at Just Cupcakes?

I can do any flave your wish, just ask! For Red Rhumba I only do chocolat and vanilla with chocolate ganache or chocolate caramel or cream cheese topping... it's easier to keep it simple and it keeps my costs down. I don't want to go out of business before I have properly started by over exerting myself. Vida x Next blogger get together will be filled with cupcakes I promise!!

Purely by accident I found out 2 weeks ago that they have gone into receivership. Taking my $100 deposit and leaving me without a cake (my wedding is in 2 weeks time). I am disappointed that I did not receive a courtesy letter pointing out that I needed to find a new wedding cake supplier. As for the deposit, I imagine I will never see that again! Fortunately I have found a lovely lady in Croydon - Juli from Just Cupcakes and she has gone out of her way to help me out. And her cupcakes are even better!!

I do love cupcakes but I would happily confess I am typically just as happy to look at them as eat them. They remind me of my childhood and bring a little smile to my face. But I will agree dry and stale cupcakes have turned me off any store bought variety.
