I love your site! Thanks for introducing me to this great local. I posted a link in my own blog about this place and linked it to you guys. http://cfcphotography.wordpress.com/
I think I’ve tried about 10 of the places you’ve suggested and they have all been top notch. Keep it up.

[...] already heard about the Daisy Cakes legend on a couple of Durham blogs (such as Durham Bull Pen and Carpe Durham), so I insisted that we go try it out. It turned out to be a great decision, not only for the [...]

The lemon & blueberry bread pudding they had on Saturday was off the hook!

Incidentally, if you go to the Daisycakes website and sign up for their E-Newsletter, you’ll get a coupon for a free cupcake.

Just in case you want to make an informed opinion, and you dont want to pay $2.50 for a cupcake.

I have to disagree about the cupcakes being dry. I got the banana and the pink lemonade on Saturday. They actually sat in the fridge until Sunday night before we ate them. The pink lemonade was wuite dense. Heavier than I like my cake, generally. But it was still moist. And delicious. The banana was just about ideal — moist, light and loaded w/ banana flavor. So either the quality of the cupcakes is varying widely across the batch or I just have different standards. Such is life and more for the rest of us, I guess.

I had the cherry-almond scones on Saturday and loved them! They have the perfect scone texture–flaky, crumbly, not too moist and not too dry.

I had a vanilla one the other day and thought it was pretty good. The coconut one is also good and was less dense.

I think Daisycakes is actually going for the dry cupcake profile.

We got our cupcakes @ 9:15am this past Saturday–banana with Nutella icing, chocolate on chocolate, and red velvet. I found them to be very ordinary, dry, nothing special at all. It did boost my ego because I know that my cupcakes could kick these cupcakes’ asses.

We also sampled the poptarts. I like them better than the cupcakes, but they’re not stellar.

Their cupcakes are pretty dense, but it’s entirely possible you got a fluke. How could you not love the raspberry buttercream frosting? Maybe you may like one of the other flavors more – I’ve heard good things about the black & white.
