Whether you are picking from the case or creating your own cupcake, The Flour Shop will have something to satisfy your sweet tooth!
The Flour Shop is a locally owned and operated cupcake and cake bakery at the corner of Lee Road and 17/92, in the K-Mart shopping plaza. Walking through the door, the smell of freshly baked goods enticed me to buy several cupcakes, though I was there to pick up an order for a friend.
Along with a selection of freshly baked and tempting cupcakes, you can opt to belly up to the bar- The Cupcake Bar. Here you can have a friendly staff member make and mix your favorite flavors to create your ulitimate cupcake. Pick your cupcake, filling, frosting and toppings from staggering amount of choices. I watched two girls overflowing with excitement as the owner prepared 2 very special custom cupcakes.
Along with my friends order of two dozen mini Pink Champagne cupcakes, I left with Red Velvet, Reeses’ Revenge and Apricot Nectar cupcakes. The cake was moist and each of the frostings offered wonderful flavor without being overly sweet. The ratio of cupcake to frosting was very nice and the texture of the frosting was pleasantly airy. Hubby really enjoyed the intense peanut butter goodness of the Reeses’ Revenge frosting. We both liked the Red Velvet cupcake with Creamcheese frosting and I thought the Apricot Nectar cupcake was a lovely, summery cupcake. When I was picking out flavors, I was told that the Apricot Nectar was a shared recipe from a regular customer. I’d head back just for that lovely cupcake. I was also directed to try the Pink Champagne (check!) and the White Wedding cake (next time!) by two regular customers who were heading out with their own boxes of cupcakes.
The Flour Shop cupcakes held up very well if you buy in advance to eating, I enjoyed one the day after purchasing and another two days after purchasing. Even two days later, the cake was moist and had a nice texture. (The frosting was still great too, no hard or crusty exterior!)
The Pink Champagne cupcakes from The Flour Shop made everyone who tasted them, very happy.

All the gals at the party enjoyed the Pink Champagne and I’m very happy I picked up some of your other flavors. Will have to frolic at the Cupcake Bar soon. Guessing you’ll be rolling out some tempting fall flavors soon. #pumpkin
