I have been to Auntie Em's three times just to try the popular cupcakes. Though the cupcakes are huge (around $3.50 a pop), they are usually awfully dry, and topped with too much frosting. I was really disappointed with the chocolate chocolate I tried last week, which turned out to be so tasteless that I threw it away after one bite...and I bought two of them. :-( I've baked better cupcakes from the powder mix at the grocery store. Anywho, I must say that I did try a red velvet cupcake that wasn't terribly dry and it was fantastic. The best I ever had. I wouldn't recommend getting any cupcake here other than the red velvet as I have tried so many of their disappointing flavors. This place is not worth driving miles to get to. Also, not much variety in the cupcakes. If you want consistent, quality cupcakes skip this place and head a city over to Violet's in Pasadena.
