Would you like a bag for that? Usually you hear this question at the supermarket. Recently I visited Velvet Cupcakes at our mall and got asked this question. In my previous post, when I ordered a cupcake from this store, I was given a box to cradle my delicate cupcake. This time around, I was given a bag. I asked about getting my cupcake in a box because this cupcake was not for me. It was to celebrate a coworkers birthday the next day during work. How awful would that be if the frosting got damaged! I was told that if I wanted my cupcake in a box, that there would be a charge. I honestly can’t remember what the cost was because I was so surprised! I guess the bag is not bad but I would think that Velvet Cupcake would want their cupcakes to remain pretty.
Obviously, I did not want to pay for something that was going to be eventually thrown away but still…I am having more and more doubts about revisiting this place. I guess when you have a storefront in a prime location like our mall, you will do everything you can do to save on cost. The last time I visited, I was not too happy with the lack of customer service and this time with the extra charge of a box, things are looking pretty lean on me going back to this place. What a bummer.
