Cupcakes and Co. - Dry as a Bone

As we've continued our tour of the Valley's ever growing bake shops, we had to try Cupcakes & Co. - a brand new outpost that popped up in Burbank.  Now, Burbank is a bit far out of our normal cupcake radius, but hey, we're writing a blog here! Of course, I had to try the red velvet first - a staple of the cupcake world.  If you can get that right, then your cupcakes must be pretty good.  Well, guess what? Cupcakes & Co. got it WRONG.  The cake was dry as a bone and the icing tasted like it was made with cheap, cafeteria-style cream cheese.  Lori tried the lemon curd and she could barely get past the icing!  She claimed it tasted like plastic (I thought it tasted like nothing - which is still pretty terrible in a cupcake).  I will say they had nice customer service, but the place looked very corporate.  No "home-style" bakeshop atmosphere.  

Avoid this place, unless you are desperate for a cupcake at 9:30pm....they are open until 10.
