I really can not understand why The Cupcake Bakery is so popular. The first time I tried them, the cake was seriously stale and the whole thing was an all round disappointment. But I gave them a second chance, and the cake was seriously stale and the whole thing was an all round disappointment. Yes, the stores are easily accessible being at almost every shopping centre, but there are so many great cupcake businesses in Melbourne, I can't imagine why you'd by a stale one.

If you're in need of a sugar rush, go to Cupcake Bakery. It's hard to go past and resist the temptation.
