The Memorial Day holiday weekend is a big time for travel.
For anyone planning a vacation or even a day trip to explore Virginia's natural beauty, there's a new online tool.
VirginiaOutdoors.com gives visitors a virtual tour of every state park across the Old Dominion. The idea is to make it a one-stop shop for any kind of information tourists might need before hitting the road, from maps to activities.
It's getting rave reviews from outdoor enthusiasts.
"I thought it was cool. It's a great resource to kind of pick and choose whether you know an area you want to go to or you know an activity that you want to do. You can kind of drill into the sight from either direction," said Charles Leonard of Blue Ridge Outdoors magazine.
One you've picked a destination or activity like hiking, biking, fishing or horseback riding, one click gets you all the information you need to do.
The site also features video tours and podcasts of some of the parks. State officials say they hope a high-tech approach makes unplugging this summer a little more user-friendly.
State officials said they also hope the website draws tourism from around the country and brings in more tourism revenue.

The IRS's Enterprise Computing Center in Detroit. (Image via Google Maps)
The Internal Revenue Service collects trillions in taxpayer dollars, but the agency's incomplete plan to consolidate its 15 major data centers is costing taxpayers millions each year, according to an audit by the Department of Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
The audit, released in June, suggests the IRS has made some progress in adhering to the Office of Management and Budget's 2010 plan to reduce and optimize the number of data centers across the government, called the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative.
However, the audit states the IRS has not formalized a project management plan that addresses challenges, optimal footprints, milestones, timeframes and other details necessary to meet its data center consolidation goals: Reducing its data center space by half – from 400,000 square feet to 200,000 square feet via 10 percent reductions per year from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015 – and trimming number of data centers from 15 to eight by the end of fiscal 2015.
The audit was also critical of IRS' inventory practices, claiming the agency's data center consolidation plan did not include all its data centers that meet the standard federal definition. According to the audit, IRS has an extra 115,000 square feet of data center space in 61 buildings across the country for which it did not account.
"While the IRS has exceeded its first two years' goals for reducing data center space and improving the energy efficiency of its data centers, management of the DCCI needs to be improved to ensure that the IRS meets its future DCCI goals," the audit said. "Two years of the IRS' five-year DCCI have elapsed without a clear plan for how the data center space reduction goals will be accomplished."
The IG notes that during the audit, IRS announced plans to close its Enterprise Computing Center in Detroit, an underutilized data center that will save the agency $15 million annually. That step in the right direction, however – along with two prior data center closures that reduced its footprint by 76,000 square feet – was not enough to stave off a series of IG recommendations.
The IRS agreed to fully adhere to seven recommendations made by the IG, including the development of an actual project management plan, allocating additional resources to data center savings efforts, correcting its inventory and developing a baseline footprint to the IRS' small data center.
The agency partially agreed with the IG's recommendation to consolidate the Detroit data center into Martinsburg, W.Va., and Memphis, Tenn., data centers. In the formal response, IRS officials stated following the recommendation fully might hinder the agency's ability to make the best decision on where to relocate the Detroit data center's assets.
This is not the first time the FDCCI has drawn negative attention for lacking specifics. Agencies are on their own when it comes to setting data center space savings goals and other requirements; OMB has drawn significant criticism for failing to provide clear instructions. Only a few agencies have released any metrics or cost savings data, according to Government Accountability Office, and many are in a similar position to the IRS, struggling to put together plans.
The GAO and members of Congress have repeatedly charged in recent months that OMB's poor leadership and lack of metrics makes FDCCI savings difficult to measure. FDCCI, which was supposed to save the government $3 billion to $5 billion by 2015, has only achieved $63 million in documented savings thus far, according to GAO assessments.

One of the many consequences of the obesity epidemic facing the United States and other developed countries is the increased prevalence of NAFLD. NAFLD includes a spectrum of disorders ranging from simple steatosis to NASH (Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), with the possibility of progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
There is still much more to be known about these disorders. This prospective study will follow patients with NAFLD every 6 months, collecting clinical data, serum, whole blood, and tissue from patients with NAFLD. With these data, we hope to learn more about its natural history and risk factors for progression and to develop noninvasive tests to diagnose Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more serious and progressive condition.
For more information please email Michelle Lai, MD, MPH or Angelica Francescucci,CRA
Surgery is currently the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, resulting in significant weight loss and reduction in mortality rate due to improvements in the comorbid conditions of obesity.
In this study patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis (stage 3-4) and severe obesity (BMI>40 or BMI>35 with serious comorbid conditions- such as coronary heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes) will be evaluated before and after laparoscopic gastric banding surgery. Specifically, we will study the early and late effects of bariatric surgery in obese patients with advanced fibrosis from NASH and/or Hepatitis C, on clinical, pathological, and quality-of-life measures as well as portal pressures. All these measurements will be taken before and after surgery.
For more information please email Michelle Lai, MD, MPH or Angelica Francescucci,CRA
This study looks at the effects of a medication and/or a low-calorie diet on body weight and energy expenditure. The medication is called exenatide (brand name Byetta). Exenatide is an injectable medication that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is not approved for the treatment of obesity. Exentide has shown to have several effects on the body including decreased hunger, and the slowing of gastric (stomach) emptying.
At all study visits, you will have weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, and body composition measured. You will also be asked to complete questionnaires about hunger, fullness and nausea. At some study visits, you will have blood drawn to measure markers of metabolism and inflammation. You may also be asked to have your energy expenditure measured at these study visits. Compensation will be provided for participating and subjects will receive a parking voucher at all study visits.
For more information, please email Jody Dushay, MD.
Weight loss from diet, exercise or surgical procedure is the only current strategy for alleviating the effects of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). This progressive condition creates fibrosis (or scarring) in the liver and can result in cirrhosis.
GS-6624 is an experimental study drug designed to potentially help reverse the scarring process. This study will investigate the effects GS-6624 has on the progression of liver fibrosis (or scarring) in those with NASH. This is a double-blind, placebo controlled study that will last two years. Participants will be required to report to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center once a month in order to collect clinical data, blood samples and training on proper drug administration. Also, liver tissue samples will be collected three times a year for evaluation.
For more information please email Michelle Lai, MD, MPH or Angelica Francescucci, CRA.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Did Harper lose, or is it a win in disguise?
When is a loss not a loss?
On Friday, to virtually no one's surprise, the Supreme Court of Canada opined fundamental changes to the way we select senators or limit their terms cannot be affected without the support of seven provinces totalling at least 50 per cent of our population. Further, abolishing the Senate would require support from all provinces.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who asked the Supreme Court for its opinion on the matter, sounded unusually resigned about the top court's decision.
"I think given the Supreme Court has said we're essentially stuck with the status quo for the time being, and that significant reform and abolition are off the table, I think it's a decision that I'm disappointed with but I think it's a decision that the vast majority of Canadians will be very disappointed with," Harper said.
Of course, that's not what the Supreme Court said in its decision. It only reminded the prime minister that fundamentally changing our system of government by eliminating the upper chamber is something that requires strong provincial direction and, ultimately, approval. And perhaps that a change like this shouldn't be easy.
Senate reform could be one of Harper's hallmark accomplishments if he wanted to bring the first ministers together and talk. But he won't, because it's just too much work.
At first blush, it appeared just another crushing blow for a government that is consistently wiffed when it comes to recent decisions from the top court.
On the one hand, it's not hard to imagine the Tories fuming at the insolence of the courts for repeatedly derailing their legislative agenda. It's entirely possible, however, Harper not only didn't expect to win this Senate challenge, but didn't want to.
Reforming or abolishing the Senate is so much work, and virtually no one with a modicum of knowledge about the Constitution thought Harper was going to get a green light to expunge the Senate with a bill and a majority mandate in the House of Commons.
So, perhaps the prime minister expected to lose.
This is, after all, a man who leads a party and government that has a lot to gain by fencing with the Supreme Court. Core Tory supporters hate the courts in general and the Supreme Court in particular. Defeat has only solidified his credentials as a martyr to the populist cause.
If the Tories have calculated that, even in defeat, they can be winners in the hearts and minds of their fiercest supporters, then the past two months have been quite the success story. The Conservative government has now been turned back five consecutive times by the top court on a variety of different legislative or administrative matters.
In March alone, the Supreme Court upheld challenges to legislation that attempted to limit early access to parole for non-violent offenders and to force convicts to go through a laborious Federal Court process to challenge prison transfers. The court also rejected the appointment of Justice Marc Nadon to its bench, determining he was ineligible under current rules.
The hits kept coming in April when, in another unanimous decision, the court rejected a bid by the Tories to curb the judicial practice of awarding 1.5 days' credit for time served in custody prior to sentencing.
Two months, five rejections by the Supreme Court. It's enough to make you wonder if the Conservatives have grown tired of the rule of law.
Governments regularly vet draft legislation to ensure, in the interests of all citizens and the traditions of democracy, it does not violate any aspect of the Constitution or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Sometimes, the vetting process involves getting a Supreme Court opinion, especially when particularly muddy issues are at stake. However, this is not the track record of a government using the courts for guidance on legislative matters. The Tories keep throwing their best pitches at the top court, and the justices keep fouling them off.
There is no doubt this government would prefer to eliminate all pre-sentencing credit for convicts, take away their rights to oppose prison transfers, or possibly eliminate parole altogether. As for appointments to the top court, it's hard not to conclude Harper would dearly like to see men and women with a much more liberal (pun intended) interpretation of what the Constitution allows and doesn't allow.
Even so, this record seems like a no-lose proposition for Harper. In fact, Harper looks and sounds like a man who has already calculated the political benefits of losing to the courts as we head toward a 2015 fall election.
When is a loss not a loss? When you can bundle together a bunch of small setbacks and mould them into a potent political strategy. And that's a win.

The loons are flying north again, and the icy roads are confusing them.
A DNR wildlife biologist says the loons think the icy blacktop surfaces are lakes. Unfortunately, their legs are made for paddling, not walking, so they can't take off after they land.
If you see a stranded loon, you can contact the DNR to help it on its way. If you decide to help it yourself, make sure you wear heavy leather gloves, because the birds have sharp beaks.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Senate has moved close to passing a bill that would limit parents' liability for young drivers.
Currently children under 18 need a parent or other adult sponsor to sign and verify their driver's license application. That makes the parents or sponsors liable for the driver's negligence or willful misconduct.
Republican Sen. Glenn Grothman's bill debated Tuesday would limit that liability to a total of $300,000. Current law has no limit on a parent's potential liability.
But Democratic Sen. Fred Risser objected, saying if liability is going to be capped the parent should be required to have at least that much insurance.
Democrats used a procedural move to block a vote on final passage until Wednesday.

Before Afghanistan, a bit of Boston as Bruins' anthem singer sends off troops at Pease
On Monday, Rancourt joined other members of the Bruins organization at Pease International Tradeport to greet 206 troops on their way from Fort Drum, N.Y., to Afghanistan.
With boundless energy, Rancourt posed for photos, chatted and laughed with Pease Greeters and troops and then sent them off with a rousing rendition of the national anthem.
Rancourt became even more famous after the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 for not singing. Early into the anthem, he stopped and the crowd at Boston Garden seamlessly took over in an illustration of the strong spirit of Boston.
He said he thought nothing could top the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, but being part of that experience, during the first professional sports game to be held in the city after the attacks, was something he said he will never forget.
Rancourt said he had no idea what to expect joining the Pease Greeters, and said he was overwhelmed by the kindness shown by everyone.
"It's a very touching thing," Rancourt said, adding that he was not sure he would get through the national anthem without getting emotional.
He said it was also one of the few times in his life when he felt humbled.
The Pease Greeters have been meeting arriving and departing troops at Pease International Tradeport since May 2005.
Pease Greeter Jim Conant of Hampton helped facilitate the visit by Rancourt, two of the team's "Ice Girls" and the Bruins' mascot, "Blades".
"They will have a really good patriotic feeling when they leave, and a feeling that they did something good today," Conant said about the visit.

Boy, is this not a news flash. The Birmingham News has a long feature on Roy today, basically telling us that he's combative and paranoid. I think we knew that already.
Using an old bucket for a seat, Moore sits down to explain that he doesn't really like politics. It's a peculiar statement from the man who wants to be Alabama's next governor.
What Moore says he likes is a good fight. It seems he has been fighting against one thing or another all his life.
"I am firm about my convictions in right and wrong," Moore said.
He's been through a sometimes-stormy legal career, defied a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building and is the underdog in a campaign to defeat Gov. Bob Riley in the June 6 Republican primary for governor. Moore's underfunded campaign focuses on religion, no new taxes, and criticism of the Montgomery status quo.
"He's always been a fighter. He stands up for what he believes. People in Alabama really like that," said Len Gavin, a former Republican Party executive director who is volunteering for Moore.
I'd be interested to know why Roy ended up the way he is. His life seems to be a series of Roy against the world conflicts, but the article doesn't address the reasons. Dominionists like him have decided that they need to impose their version of God's law on the rest of us. I'd like to know what makes them think that way.

USS Oregon was a very successful and powerful pre-Dreadnought design, famous for her part in the Spanish-American War and her 14,500-mile passage around the Horn to join the fight in Cuban waters. Oregon's four 13-inch guns were housed in twin turrets fore and aft, but she also boasted a secondary armament of eight 8-inch guns in turrets at the four corners of her citadel, as well as four 6-inch guns and a very heavy ensemble of 6-pounders and machine-guns. By European standards, she was small and low to the waves; also slow and heavily armed and armored. 351 feet long by 69 feet in beam, she displaced 10,288 tons and could steam at 16 knots. One imagines she looked like this -- surging along with billowing smoke and a bone in her teeth -- when she charged after the Spanish cruiser Colón at the climax of the Battle of Santiago. During this charge she achieved 18 knots -- 2 full knots more than her maximum designed speed! One suspects some dedicated wizardry by the engineering staff in anticipation of the crucial moment -- and yeoman work by the stokers when it came.
Built at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, the Oregon carried a crew of 737, including 44 officers. She was propelled by 9,738-HP triple-expansion piston steam engines shafted to twin screws. Her coal-fired cylindrical boilers were standard for the period also. She was protected by Harvey process steel armor (ranging from 2-3/4" on the deck to 15" on turrets and 18" over vitals in the hull). Oregon was part of a vigorous effort by the U.S. to build a first-class oceangoing fleet, although her design was principally as a seagoing coast protection vessel. Oregon had two sister ships, Indiana and Massachusetts; a considerably improved version, the USS Iowa, was completed in time for the Spanish-American War as well and fought at Santiago. Only about 2/3 the size of first-line British vessels, the Indianas reflected America's newness to manufacturing modern men-o'-war in several awkward design features, such as low freeboard and steam-powered turret training gear that had little fine control compared to hydraulic training systems. Worst of all, there was no counterbalancing mechanism in the turrets, so when the guns were trained abeam, the ship listed several degrees to that side, affecting aim and trim -- a defect that was later partially corrected. But these ships -- America's first genuine seagoing ironclad battleships, equipped with coal storage for prolonged sea voyages -- also expressed the country's burgeoning pride and determination to be treated as a great power. The Oregon's long voyage and the Navy's performance at Manila Bay and Santiago backed up that claim beyond dispute.
By popular demand of the people of Oregon, the venerable ship became a war memorial in Portland from 1925 to 1942, but was largely dismantled for scrap metal during WWII, and later used as an ammo hulk in the Pacific during the War. She was finally scrapped in Japan in the 1950s. Her bow insignia, radio shack and mast are preserved at McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon; her twin funnels in Liberty Ship Park.
At right is a stern view of the Oregon in drydock at Mare Island in 1912. Click here for a great enlarged view. By this time she had been fitted with a "cage" mainmast, standard in the U.S. Navy at the time. Few other changes had been made, however; the main and secondary guns stand out well in the noontime sun, and the Stars and Stripes stream gaily from the taffrail flagstaff on what looks like a perfect summer's day. This unusual shot clearly shows the beamy shape of the vessel's hull that made her a steady gun platform; the cruiser stern; and arrangement of rudder and screws. Her voyage around the Horn had proved seaworthiness beyond her design parameters, just as the battle proved an unexpected reserve capacity in her propulsion plant. Although a "wet ship," Oregon and her sisters did provide stable gun platforms once bilge keels had been fitted and the problems with turret balance had been worked out. Scroll down for a detailed schematic of the Oregon.Lights out! And a prow turned toward the South
And a canvas hiding each cannon's mouth
And a ship like a silent ghost released
Is seeking her sister ships in the East.
When your boys shall ask what the guns are for,
Then tell them the tale of the Spanish war,
And the breathless millions that looked upon
The matchless race of the Oregon.
-- John James Meehan

Quarter view of the Oregon on her trials -- the other shot in the series shown at top of page. Designed for 15.5 knots, the ship made 16.7 knots for a sustained period on trials, earning a bonus for her builders.
The Oregon's foredeck was downright imposing, with its tall mast and bristling big guns. Bluejackets gather for a semi-formal portrait in this press shot done on the Indiana.
The Oregon's four high-mounted 8-inch turrets were an impressive feature of the ship. The castle-like, multilevel layout with its many round turrets may be appreciated from this shot taken aboard the Indiana.
Here is Oregon at Bremerton, Washington, poised on the eve of her great adventure, her voyage into celebrity. Clearly not a line is out of place on this beauty. Nor was on the 14,550-mile voyage, nor in the blockade and battle service later.
Bursting with excitement, Oregon crewmen watch the end game at the Battle of Santiago: the chase of the Colón by the Brooklyn and their own ship. Their brethren in the stokeholds outdid themselves, giving the Oregon emergency steam for 18+ knots which was just sufficient to close the range with their quarry. At the critical moment, the ship loosed two 13" ranging shots, bracketing the Spanish cruiser close astern. She soon hove-to and struck her colours in surrender, running up on the beach at the mouth of the Tarquino River. This closed the one-sided battle just under four hours after its opening shots. Only two seamen had been killed and a handful wounded in the U.S. fleet, versus 474 for Spain, which lost all six of its ships at one stroke.

County Executive Leopold Submits Slots Legislation to County Council with Focus on Safeguards
|Bill opens period for public comment
Annapolis (March 2, 2009) - County Executive John R. Leopold has submitted legislation to the County Council that would allow conditional use zoning for slots facilities at Laurel Park and Arundel Mills.
"While I remain personally opposed to expanding gambling, the people have spoken loudly and clearly on this issue," County Executive Leopold said. "With this bill we will add the protections our surrounding communities need moving forward. This is the beginning of a legislative process that will allow citizens to have a say in implementing this properly."
"The legislation requires submission of a traffic management plan by the applicant," County Executive Leopold added. "Any proposal will have to comply with the Adequate Public Facilities law and the Water and Sewer Master Plan. The legislation also contains requirements for setback, height and size limits. It does not allow slots in zones other than the two for which applications have been received by the Maryland Lottery Commission."

Keeping apace with modern trends is important to the staff at Spalon & Tan, which explains why each member continually attends classes and training. Through these sessions, stylists learn to smooth frizz with keratin treatments and add length with sew-in extensions. During nail treatments, technicians put a surprising twist on french manicures by bedecking tips with vivid hues and glittery designs. As for body treatments, they stick with the classics: relaxing massages to be enjoyed solo, with a significant other, or with a favorite crossing guard.
Though named for its styling services, Teri's Hair Loft employs a staff whose expertise doesn't stop at the scalp. The full-service salon and spa's cream walls and subtle floral accents make for an appropriately relaxing background as registered massage therapists, stylists, and aestheticians work side-by-side to weave together beauty and relaxation. They greet every man, woman, and dry-skinned golem who enters the salon with a smile and a personal consultation. Among the salon's customized services are keratin smoothing treatments for the hair, facials and waxing treatments for the skin, and massages in styles that range from Swedish to hot stone.
The team of creative stylists at Designing Women Hair Salon strives to realize clients' hair-related visions with thorough consultations. The crew has been cutting and coloring hair for more than 20 years—or the amount of time needed to give the Statue of Liberty a perm—and employs Sebastian products to sculpt hair into sleek styles or wedding-worthy updos.
The stylists cultivate a friendly, welcoming vibe at individually decorated, wood-trimmed stations, which define each of their personalities against a backdrop of earthy reddish-brown walls and pops of green from plants.
The style stalwarts at Supercuts have trimmed, toned, and honed the domes of hair-bearing hominids for decades. Walk-ins and waltz-ins are always welcome seven days a week at any of Supercuts' convenient locations. The experienced stylists can accommodate cuts ranging from quick, careful mop maintenance to a more buzzworthy beehive for hypnotizing local grizzlies. Each scissor-handed specialist will draw from a vat of experience, leveraging quality hair products from Paul Mitchell and others to infuse your filaments with a winsome glow and creative coiffure. Feel free to stockpile up to three Groupons to ensure a series of sure-fire cuts before snow-spooked wallets retreat into prolonged hibernation.
Ample mirrors reflect the salon's lavender walls and black-and-white checkered floors, giving it a sleek, '80s-throwback vibe. Amid these jazzy accents, skilled stylist Josette Hall manufactures stylish up-dos and highlights, available in an olympic assortment of bronze and gold. Clients may also solicit the salon for other beautification services, such as mani-pedis that pop and facials that restore the complexion.

We have been operating for 30 years and despite current economic conditions, we are still going strong! We recently underwent a complete facelift and look forward to providing you with a wonderful experience!

Study: 80% of work email is pointless
Updated On: Aug 27 2013 01:27:53 PM EDT
Sick of getting slammed with work emails? You're not alone. A new study released by the University of Glasgow reveals nearly 80% of emails you receive at work are wasteful and would have been better communicated via a phone call or face-to-face conversation.
READ: How to manage employees who work from home
According to an article in menshealth.com when the managers cut back on the amount of emails they send employees followed suit. In fact, the company gained an estimated 10,400 in employee hours. According to Andrew Killick of Modeurno Consulting, when workers spend so much time wading through emails they are pulled away from regular work tasks, which leads to errors and wasted time.
Killick also says a 30-second-in-person conversation could require a dozen emails - with employees taking the time to open, read, edit and respond.
He offers these tips on ways to improve productivity with three simple email strategies:
The fewer emails you send, the fewer you'll receive. Your coworkers respond to your habits. So if you bomb their inboxes, they'll bomb yours back. Ease up, and they'll get the message—even though you didn't send one.
Increase reply time. The longer you take to respond to emails, the emptier your inbox will be. Up your response time to several hours, and people will start calling instead of emailing you. (Or they'll figure it out on their own.)
Avoid email conversations. Anything that resembles a chat or requires several rounds of back-and-forth should occur over the phone or in p

The Cupcake Shop - Raleigh
- c
- cackalackie Mar 19, 2007 01:20 PM
It seems like ages since someone posted about Raleigh, so here goes:
I was driving down Glenwood South and saw a storefront under constuction with a cute little sign that said "The Cupcake Shoppe."
So my two questions are: Has anyone heard anything about this place? And second, does this mean we're a "city" now?!
Edit: I got all excited about it until I realised this was from a year ago (sigh)
re: chason
A year? Geez! I do hope it opens soon.........
They had some unexpected delays redoing the plumbing etc. Should be opening in late April or early May. Will be a neat addition to Glenwood South.
re: DCtoNC
We're getting a cupcake store? That must mean the trend is long over if one is opening here/
re: rockycat
My husband and I was thinking along the same lines driving by last night. I saw the sign go up in that location when the "cupcake trend" was in full swing. Now that it looks like it is going to open, it seems the trend is dwindling. I am assuming, for its sake, that is serves more than cupcakes!
i had some of their cupcakes at a private party a month ago. heavenly. so they are most likely opening, i hope anyway!
re: Melusina54
I stopped by yesterday. They have interesting flavors: Peanut Butter Cup, Cookie Monster, Mint Condition, etc. They are open from 10 p.m. until 8 p.m.
re: aweigl
Sorry - 10 am to 8 pm
We went tonight and it was so good! The "You Mocha Me Crazy" and "Big Red" come highly recommended. The Peanut Butter was a little dry. I also got the the chocolate mint but I'll have to report back on that one.
re: Tehama
Okay, maybe it is just me, but I am not thrilled with these cupcakes. VERY heavy cake and the icing is so sweet it hurts my teeth. Bought some for a kids birthday and the kids just picked at them.
re: nc2gagirl
I think it all sort of depends on what you like. If you love tons of icing like my 4 year old and I do, you'll probably think they're great. If you routinely scrap off the icing on cake and focus on the cake part like my wife, you may have the same reaction as VaNC. We sampled 4 at my house and the vote was 2 to 1 in favor but, I must admit, even I thought there was a bit too much icing on some of them. I could go for a bit less product all around for a little lower price point but, then again, I've never been to a cupcake shop before so maybe $2 or $2.50 per cupcake is pretty standard?
re: Guilty Gourmand
I tried the chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting a few days ago and was also disappointed. I think I fall into the Guilty Gourmond's wifes and VaNC's category of way to much frosting. Also I thought the sweetness of the frosting overshadowed any chocolate taste of the cake. It seems like the store is a hit though and the staff was really nice.
re: jean9
We took an out-of-town friend and my seven-year old daughter there this weekend. They were good, but not great. The cake part was heavier than I would have liked, and I thought maybe they did that to hold all the icing. The flavors were great, but the texture of the cake was average.
My wife and I went this Friday night. They are open until 11 pm. We were very disappointed. My wife had the "mint condition" (chocolate cake with mint icing) and I had a "black & white" (chocolate cake with vanilla icing). Both of the cupcakes were exceedingly dry. The frosting was just ok and there was too much of it. I wish I had tried one with cream cheese frosting, instead of the buttercream. Maybe that would be better. I also wish there was more variety, at least in the appearance of the cupcakes. The shop is pretty cute though, and they have a pitcher of water for free drinks. Our two cupcakes totaled $5. I'm pretty hesitant about going back.
Husband and I just tried out some cupcakes and agree with some of the other reviews.. we both had chocolate cupcakes - I had the chocolate with chocolate icing and husband had chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. We both agreed the cakes were dry and there was too much (and stacked high!) icing. I felt the icing was good but I made a mess of myself trying to eat the cake as it came with no fork.
Since some people felt theirs were moist and wonderful I wonder if it's just the chocolate ones that are dry? People who felt they were dry seem to all have had chocolate. Not sure.
After waiting with high hopes for what? two years? I went with a friend to finally experience what I was hoping to be cupcake nirvana...very cute shop and very cute wait staff. We ordered several different flavors to make sure we got a fair and varied sample. Appearance - very professional and attractive Icing - all flavors were at least tasty and texture was good enough (orange was the best) Cake - every last flavor (new or old in the case) was dry, dry and drier and none really had anything I couldn't live without. In fact we didn't want to take more than one bite of more than a couple flavors. So, with heavy hearts and rumbly stomachs we left. I truly hope they change their recipes a bit. We all really want it to be successful, but taste always trumps cute when it comes to cupcakes! Work it out ladies...we're hungry.
i also gave this place a few tries. i find the cake on many flavors to be dry. i also think the icing can be tasty, but there's too much of it. you can't eat it with your hands, you have to use a fork. also the appearance of the cupcakes are sloppy. the edges of the cake are brown. for the price, you should be getting a perfect cupcake. i used to live in nyc and this is no magnolia bakery. the shop itself is cute and the idea is great but the cupcakes aren't. plain and simple. i don't know if it's that the cupcakes are not selling and they are stale or if they are too dry. i suspect it's the former.
I went in last night. I'm moving to this neighborhood and wanted to check it out. Out of trainwreck curiosity? We had a Cookie Monster and a German Chocolate Special. The GC wasn't too bad. It wasn't that dry, the frosting was good. The CM was not good. It was really dry, way too much icing, and the icing looked grey. The cakes looked like they don't wipe the pan after filling them. In theory, this place is great. But theory can't run a restaurant. They were busy enough. They just don't have a good cake recipe. For $3 it ought to be perfect. What they have is far from it.
i went there and tried the cinnamon cake with cinnamon icing (cream cheese base). I took one bit of it. the flavor was nice but the texture of the cupcake was underwhelming and the icing wasn't good enough that i wanted to keep eating it.
i recently went back to the cupcake shop and had a strawberry cupcake. the icing was a rich buttercream with real strawberry and tasted delicious. the cake was fresh. the presentation of the cupcakes was much better. i think they've actually improved very much and are worth a trip though not worth the rachael ray write-up.
I was in the area earlier today, had a craving for a cupcake so I tried out their "Big Red"- red velvet with cream cheese buttercream. Probably the most dry and flavorless cake I have tasted. The icing was great though, so I see why the icing lovers on this board like it. Also the cake wasn't uniformly red, like the batter hadn't been mixed properly and that kind of annoyed me. I think next time I might try their carrot cake... in my experience it's hard to make a dry carrot cake so we shall see!
re: MBC997
can i please retract my former post?? i had these at that party and they were good. but once the store opened, i've been there many times and the cupcakes are just not good. the icing can be good, depending on if they are fresh. it seems i go here a lot with women who want to pretend "sex and the city" but they really don't know a good cupcake because these are not. i was never a fan of magnolia bakery cupcakes either. i did, however, like the rival buttercup bakery cupcakes uptown. it is hard to find baked goods in the raleigh area that are any good...a good example is a birthday cake...forget it. the south doesn't have bakeries in the same way the northern cities do...due to the lack of german, italian, jewish, scandinavian immigrants of yore...i digress...but these cupcakes are just not worth the price. if you happen to be down on glenwood they are fine, but don't travel here for them. you will be disappointed.
re: lawyerlady
For cakes, have you tried Square Rabbit or Edible Art? I've had both at parties and they're always delicious.
re: MBC997
I haven't been back since my last post. I decided to stop in tonight. Why, I don't know, but I'm glad I did. I got a coconut and a red velvet. I just wolfed down the red velvet. Is it just because I've been craving red velvet cake for weeks, or was it really that good? Granted, I removed more than half the cream cheese frosting, but it was good. At this point, my only criticism is that the coconut one looks kind of small. All of the cakes looked uniform in size and shape, like they started wiping the pans before baking. The red velvet was soft and moist, with a good even color. Once I try the coconut cake, I might change my mind. Seriously, give them another shot. Maybe they read this board? (The price was $2.75. Did they lower it?)
And maybe they make a crow cupcake.
re: hausfrau
I'm so glad they're getting better! I live two blocks away and want so badly for this to be good!
if you guys want some really good cupcakes, i recommend the pound cake company in benson. they do cakes as well. they are worth traveling for :)
re: lawyerlady
Funny-I like Pound cake company's pound cake but not their cupcakes. A friend and I have been to the cupcake shop in Raleigh twice now and I doubt we'll be in a hurry to go back. Cakes are a bit dry and too much icing--I think they are not selling as fast so are getting dry before they sell. The prices are sky high--$16 for a box of six and she refused to mark our frequent buyer cards for the six we each took out-only for the ones we ate in. While there we also noticed Ghiaradelli commercial pack brownie mix on the shelves in the kitchen--that just throws the whole place into question for me.
re: lawyerlady
you know who also makes a good cupcake locally is http://www.bittycakes.com. she doesn't have a store but i ordered the hot chocolate cupcakes for my bday and they were delish and well worth it!! i wish she had a store.
don't mean to keep harping on this place but i was in the neighborhood recently and decided to go in with some people. i got the cupcake of the day--chocolate raspberry. also got lemon, plain and coconut. the cake was dry on all of them and the frosting was hard on all of them. surprisingly, the frosting was even hard on the cupcake of the day, which you'd think was baked fresh. i just don't see how the owner can justify charging $2.75 a pop when the quality is so poor...i am not lying, i ate at golden corral the day after and the chocolate cake was delicious compared to this cupcake. i even told someone i had eaten there and she said she had heard they were dry. i don't think they are dry--i think they are stale. either make less or charge less.
re: lawyerlady
The red velvet had been good for a while, but it's back to being way too dry. I'm not a fan anymore. You're absolutely right.
re: eightlegeddj
This is pretty sad. Seems most everybody here is in the boat of wanting this place to succeed / have good cupcakes but it just isn't meeting the standards. You would think in this age that folks running the place would be all over posts such as this and might try to take some steps to change. (Who knows, maybe they have but to no effect.) At any rate, I'm almost tempted to print all this out and drop it by with a suggestion that they take some serious steps to improve, including looking into new recipies, new production levels, etc. as well as requesting candid feedback from objective folks about their product. Seems in this economy even the greatest of cupcake shops would have a hard time. If nobody likes their cupcakes, I cannot imagine them surviving long.
re: Guilty Gourmand
I am a HUGE cupcake person so when I read all these reviews about the cupcake shop in Raleigh, I had very low expectations. Upon entering, I noticed that there were a lot of half eaten cupcakes left on the empty tables- not a good sign. I really wanted to try the red velvet but they didn't have any. In fact, the selection was pretty sparse. We got two chocolate cupcakes, one with peanut butter frosting and the other with mint frosting.
I have to agree that the frosting was a little on the sweet side and there was a lot of it. The cupcake wasn't dry like I expected it to be so that was a plus. Overall, I think that this place exceeded my expectations. I would go back there again!
re: orthoFoodie1978
OK, I have to say that as a frequent visitor to the cupcake shop on Glenwood I am so surprised to see negative feedback although most people will jump to blog on something they dislike versus taking the time to blog on what they love. This place is WONDERFUL! If you don't believe me go see for yourself! Our family has used them for two bday parties, our daughters wedding, and most recently my parents anniversary and I can tell you with 100% certainty that their cupcakes are divine! We have yet to be disappointed and the staff is always friendly......kudos to small business! Kudos to something other than preservative laden products and kudos to them for keeping it simple! And in regards to the "nay sayers".....why do you keep going back? I mean really, find a new place to pick on will you?...this place is super cute!
