	+ ------ + ''2010-10-10 21:50:37'' [[nbsp]] I just went to Dollop over the weekend, THe pumpkin cupcakes were so moist and delicious! My kids loved getting to choose their frostfings and toppings. The staff was very friendly and patient and the cupcakes looked great. I got the salted caramel chocolate pretzel and it was amazing. Maybe instead of bashing new struggling businesses you should all get a life and go get Wegmans cheap whipped cream topped cupcakes. This is a new and innovative idea and we need more ideas and risk takers like this in ROchester. --["Users/katiehandz"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-08-18 22:11:23'' [[nbsp]] Went here after reading all the press preceding their opening. Unfortunately, the press led to high expectations which weren't fulfilled. Essentially a take out format, it was loud to the point we couldn't hear the server, crowded because 6-8 people fill the front of the store. The format (ala Cold Stone or Maggie Moos) translated to cupcakes is unique and if executed well would be a hit. Sadly, this lacked execution. While many cupcake flavors were advertised on the board, only 2 were available (to be found out only after ordering). The service was hurried and sloppy -- the server dropped a cupcake on the floor in the haste to move on to the next order. Further, the cupcakes were either not very unique in taste or lacked any distinctive flavoring. For a business open less than a month, the lack of preparation and execution showed. --["Users/luvmywine"]

- ''2010-08-09 14:10:57'' [[nbsp]] My daughters could not contain their excitement when they discovered that a cupcakery opened near their dentist's office. Sadly, as a reward for a good check up, I got them cupcakes. Whether or not the cupcakes were made from scratch really wasn't an issue. Having a mother with an award-winning cake business, I can tell you that many great cakes start with Betty Crocker. The key is not to overcook the cake and to freeze cake not being served that day. Dollop's cupcakes taste both overcooked and stale. We tried the chocolate, cream cheese and strawberry frostings. I found the frostings tastier than the cupcakes, but overly sweet. The fillings didn't impress me much either. The cupcake assembler makes a small hole in the top of the cupcake and dumps a little filling in. The result is a dry cupcake with a single glob of filling towards the top, coated with frosting. My girls quite enjoyed their cupcakes - or at least the tops of their cupcakes. After eating the topping, frosting and filling, they left the cupcake bottoms behind. The price of the cupcake with upgrades is comparable to a sundae at Cold Stone Creamery. Frankly, for the money, Cold Stone is a much tastier treat.	+ ''2010-08-09 14:10:57'' [[nbsp]] My daughters could not contain their excitement when they discovered that a cupcakery opened near their dentist's office.

- ''2010-07-29 02:40:09'' [[nbsp]] I have been hearing about Cupcake Dreamery and now Dollop for the past year and I honestly don't get this business concept. I am very impressed by the determination of this lady, Heather, however, i just don't understand how she is going to make any money out of selling cupcakes. OK, we all know that she is cute and all but i think she is just trying too much in pushing her cupcake idea to the population. I mean, i can see this business being successful in large metropolitan cities like NY where people pay tons of money for little stuff, but here in Rochester? I just don't buy the idea that someone is going to pay almost $2.50 a piece for a small cupcake with fancy looking frosting. I think she is taking a wrong approach, i know she has ambition to be successful but i would recommend her to actually opening a pastry shop (preferably in a mall start as a kiosk) and specialize in other goods besides cupcakes. She is very good at branding her business and getting the word out, but as the idea itself i just don't see it being successful as it is. She even admitted that the reason why her cupcakes are pricey because of the work that goes into it, but in my view she is not buying her ingredients at a low price because if she did prices will be much much lower. I didn't wanted to come out as negative and apologize if i offended anyone, i admire Heather's ambition and wish her the best and do hope that she will take her ambition in venturing out in areas of business beyond cupcakes. --["Users/DennisPtak"] - ------ - ''2010-07-29 22:10:34'' [[nbsp]] So Dennis... have you actually been a customer of this business? If not, it seems more than a little inappropriate to use the comments section to make sexist remarks about the owner's appearance, and then go on a diatribe about her business model. If you actually have been a customer, how about just commenting about the experience? --["Users/RichMulvey"] - ------

I found the look of the cupcake sloppy due to the fact that the line was so long they were throwing them together. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was too sweet. Plus the fact that they only had three choices for a cake - chocolate, vanilla and red velvet. I'll stick to making my own and from scratch too. --["Users/luv2sew"]

They were down to vanilla and red velvet cupcakes, so we got one of each. The way it is setup is that you order each component (cupcake, filling, frosting) and they assemble it in front of you. The red velvet was outstanding, as was the vanilla frosting (on the sweeter side). The chocolate ganache filling was also well done. Unfortunately if you've been to Sugar Mountain you are bound to have high expectations, and it didn't quite meet those..but I hope they do well and stay in business. --["Users/JohnBarry"]
