If I could give the Icing Co a 3.5 out of 5 I would. I stopped in to try a few of their cupcakes. The flavors I tried were lemon with raspberry frosting, red velvet, and carrot cake. The price for each cupcake was $3 each or $17 for a half dozen (6) which I think is slightly high for the size of the cupcake. Most bakeries I have tried out are around the same price but the cupcakes are much larger. Let's start with the icing, the icing was pretty good but slightly greasy. I think there could have been a tad bit more icing on the cupcake as well but that is personal preference. As for cupcake flavors, red velvet was by far the best, very moist and flavorful. The carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was also pretty good, but tasted more closely to spice cake then carrot. Finally, I did not like the lemon raspberry, the lemon cake was delicious but the raspberry frosting tasted like artificial flavoring. I'm not sure I will go out of my way for this cupcake shop, overall their cupcakes were just okay and slightly high in price for the size.
