Sweet Arleen’s Cupcakes, Not as Sweet as I’d Like

By Dessert Darling ·   August 27th, 2012

I told my guy that I needed to try Sweet Arleen’s Cupcakes since they won an episode of Cupcake Wars and her bakery is nearby his work. My sweetheart proceeded to come home with two large boxes with every flavor and more!! Awwwe. How can I not award 5-cherries to that!?

Alas, I must share my honest opinion and frankly, these are not my favorite cupcakes. Firstly, I’m not a fan of silky whipped frosting that has a mild, greasy, butter taste. Secondly, the size is simply not conducive to cupcake eating. These treats are awkwardly large with such a high top of frosting, you can’t eat them without getting a dollop on your nose. Proof that these cupcakes are not visually inviting with their clunky stature? I had a party the following night, prominently displayed the cupcakes, and no one ate them!

That all said, you can tell these treats are made with fine, fresh, and natural ingredients, and the cake part itself is quite delicious. I met a man who doesn’t like sweet frosting and he thought that these were the best cupcakes.. so there you go. Overall, 3 cherries for Sweet Arleen’s cupcakes in Westlake Village, CA!

ps: the cream cheese frosting is much sweeter than the buttercream, but dare I say- too sweet? just fyi

    I reviewed Sweet Arleen’s last year and was surprised at how unappealing their cupcakes were. Maybe I just got them on a bad day, but they were super dry. I wanted to like them because they looked so good. I do have to give Sweet Arleen’s props for their delicious Pumpkin Bread Pudding. I would definitely get that again!
