I'll be honest- I was a little worried about shipped cupcakes. I was concerned they'd be stale- dried out from their travels. However as I cracked open the first vacuum sealed jar (Cuckoo for Coconut) I found how very wrong I was. The cake was as moist as it had been if it had been baked that day. Coconut butter cream frosting encapsulated the lovely vanilla cake- making for the perfect balance of coconut and just delicious cake.
Having no will power at all, I ripped into the remaining jars- a Marble Mutt and a Cookies N Creme. The Marble Mutt, a blend of dark chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and dark chocolate an vanilla butter cream icings, contained the same moist cake, and the icings did compliment each other well. It was a solid offering, however after the coconut, I felt a little let down. The Cookies N Creme however brought me right back. Vanilla cupcakes layered with Oreo crumbles and topped with Vanilla Cream Cheese Butter cream frosting -this was a delicious cupcake. The Oreos, somehow, had maintained their crunch adding a perfect amount of texture variate to the cake, and the frosting brought it all home.
I was truly thrilled to try out Wicked Good Cupcakes- not just Becca's a delivery of cupcakes is pretty awesome- but because of the great work this mother daughter team is doing. I was even more thrilled that their cakes are fresh and delicious. These are the perfect treat for anyone who deserves a little cake in their life- no matter how far away from you they might be.

Ooh! I am getting some of these too. So excited to try them. Sounds like they're really good!
Oh wow, these cupcakes sound perfect! I love the idea of shipping them in mason jars!
What an intriguing idea. I might have to try some of those. the Marble Mutt sounds delicious!
Ummm....these look AMAZING! They even look more appealing to me than actual cupcakes. Is that weird?
I have been seeing these a bunch of places as well and I just was not sure what to think! They do look amazing!
I ordered these after the TSA story in January. They are amazing. I've sent them as gifts to everyone I know (including myself :-)
