Hey there Davis Square...it's finally here...opening day is Saturday, September 8th...you can check out my website www.kickasscupcakes.com for all the details...hope to see you all there soon! Sara
Wow. You know, if you google around, you'll find a lot of very similar critiques of the Kickass products and services, centered on: size/price ratio, cake consistency, and customer service. Judging from this response to customer comments, I can see where the complaints on the customer service end of things are coming from; you seem to be completely uninterested in honest reactions from actual customers (or maybe I just don't "get" your cupcakes, whatever that means). For what it's worth, this thread on Chowhound (http://www.chowhound.com/topics/404793) leads me to believe that the Daily Candy is pretty suspect.
Look, here's what I've gathered from tasting your product (strawberry shortcake cupcake... I went in intending to buy a dozen to take to a party, but felt that $33 for a dozen is just too steep a price) and reading other reviews online, a simple solution of increasing cupcake size to something that people can look at and say "yes, that's a $3 cupcake" would probably score you some more repeat customers. Certainly you can't please everyone all the time, but if cupcakes are so very personal, then you might end up selling to a select few persons.
I want to be a repeat customer, but I'll be waiting to hear how things shake down once you're more settled in and have had a chance to maybe consider the feedback that's out there.
