“The chocolate cupcake was light and not too rich. It was topped with a light and ultra creamy peanut butter frosting. Half of a Reese Peanut Butter Cup was on top, giving it the perfect finish. The best part was that it was a great dessert that didn’t leave you feeling weighed down. “

“If there’s one thing in the world that I would bowl over small children (without even a smidgen of guilt) to get my hands on, it’s the Lemon Lemon cupcake at the Atlanta Cupcake Factory.”

“Thankfully the good Lord has given our fine city the Atlanta Cupcake Factory. You weekday cupcake warriors should throw back a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing. The cake is rich and moist, icing is buttery-good and the size is perfect.”

- Creative Loafing by Cliff Bostock

” What is so good about the Cupcake Factory? First, there are the flavors.

Presentation, in fact, is a large part of the shop’s success. The cupcakes themselves can range from the elegant, topped with gourmet candies, to the childlike, such as the snowball, to the completely whimsical, such as one topped with a “swamp” occupied by a plastic frog.

I asked them if their children had gotten fat from testing recipes, and both said they are counting on overexposure to cupcakes inspiring temperance instead of gluttony. Not if they continue to produce cupcakes capable of curing lifetime revulsion like my own!”
