Cupcakes on Pitt, one of Sydney’s best know cupcakeries has recently opened a new store in Parramatta.
The store is located inside Westfield Parramatta on Level 1 near IGA express (near the train station).
The new store is a tad bigger than the City store and looks fab.
I was hoping that things would be a little different to my first experience at Cupcakes on Pitt City store and all the reviews you read, but I was sadly disappointed.
The cupcakes look beautiful as always, so nicely decorated and presented. The packaging is fantastic. I love the boxes, the bags and the cute little cupcake holder.
But the cakes themselves are not what one would expect. A little dry and stale with little flavour. The icing doesn’t have enough flavour or sweetness for me.
The lemon meringue would have to be the one I liked most (and as you can see, I bought 4 of them) They were a little different to the last batch I had, them lemon filling has changed, not as nice as it was. I also didn’t mind the pumpkin, but think this may have been a seasonal flavour?
They have also recently relaunched a new snazzier website Cupcakes Online.
Perhaps they are just meant for a different kind of cupcake connoisseur? Surely there is someone out there who actually enjoys them? Maybe I have just gone on the wrong day? Would love to hear other peoples experiences.
I was disappointed witht he cake quality as well. It’s a shame, as it;s a great concept.
That’s funny cos I find the icing waayyy too sweet for my tastes! I’ve been buying them for about 3 years now and haven’t really encountered the base being dry, although I have heard this before.
The cupcakes used to be MUCH MUCH nicer – cupcakes on pitt used to make the most amazing cupcakes and muffins and they were slightly more expensive… then they were sold just over 12 (maybe more) months ago – prices went down and frankly, so did the quality.
I suspect the old owners own a new shop on George St. Its name escapes me but it’s down wynyard way… nice quality
My sister and I have just returned from a trip to Sydney from Perth and we were VERY disappointed with all the cupcakes in Sydney, in particular Cupcakes on Pitt. The cupcakes looked gorgeous and were packaged really well but were tasteless and dry. The service was pretty poor too!!!
