Last week we also met with Lucy and Leo's Cupcakery. They're right smack dab in the middle of Tallahassee. Their store has only been around for a couple months and their business is already booming.
Consultation Experience
My fiance wasn't able to make it on the day we were supposed to meet with them, so we never really had a consultation. We did do a lot of talking through email so I know what they can do and what they can't do. If they are one of our front runners after we meet with everyone else, we will have another consultation with them later on down the road. When I went and picked up the cupcakes, they were really nice and explained that they can dye the frosting different colors and they also have a bunch of different colored sprinkles.
Customer Service
They were very friendly when I was in their store. I was greeted promptly and they gave me an explanation of what each cupcake was. They were also fast to respond to emails.
The Cake
Omg! Their cupcakes were magnificent. We tried 4 different ones and here's the breakdown of each one.
Vanilla cinnamon cake with cream cheese icing and white chocolate curls
This cupcake was to die for. Definitely our favorite by far. The white chocolate curls were a kind of non-existent, but when you did get a bite of one, it went perfect with the rest of the cupcake.
Rating: 8.5 (On a scale for 1-10 with 10 being the best)
Coconut cake with butter cream icing and toasted coconut
This was really good except for the toasted coconut. I think the toasted coconut took away from the rest of the cupcake. The icing was awesome. The coconut flavor in the cake was really subtle.
Rating: 6
Chocolate cake with espresso icing and caramel curls
I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but we wanted to try one because I'm sure we'll have some guests who will appreciate a chocolate option. The cake was kind of dry and heavy, but when mixed with the espresso icing, they really worked together. I could not finish my half of the cupcake because it was way too rich for me.

Hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing and bling/sprinkle topping
This was a really good cake, but I think the cream cheese icing overpowered the subtle flavor of the hummingbird cake. If we were to use this one for our wedding, we would probably have it made with butter cream icing instead. The blink/sprinkle topping was really pretty and I think it would be a great way to incorporate wedding colors into the cupcakes.
Rating: 7
If we decide to go with them, we'll probably go and buy a bunch more flavors so we can find the perfect combination of cupcakes for our wedding.
Price Quote
100 cupcakes at $1.75 each: $175
Tax: $15
TOTAL: $190
If we use cupcakes though, we will have a small one tier cake made for Jason and I to cut for the traditional cake cutting, so that will add on to the price.
