    Taste by Spellbound provided a delicious chocolate cake with raspberry filling for my aunt's 99th…read morebirthday. The cake and decorating were outstanding.

    I had a wonderful first experience at Taste by Spellbound. While I had never been or tasted their…read moretreats myself, I have heard great things for a long time and followed them online. After eyeing many specials in the past, finally came a sundae special that was simply too impressive seeming, and raved about specifically, to pass on. It was their bruleed banana sundae. It featured a base of warm banana bread, then soft serve, biscoff sauce, caramel, whipped cream, bruleed bananas, feuilletine, and sea salt. It was to die for. I was surprised by how light it was, and the sweetness was not over powering. Absolutely delightful. I brought some other goodies to family, and each was adored. A chocolate brookie, salted honey macadamia bar, and a salted caramel macaron. I tasted and was quite impressed by the macadamia bar. I believe it was a shortbread base and the use of honey vs a heavier alternative or caramel kept it from being a sugar a bomb, which I quite liked. It was another well balanced treat. The blueberry lemonade was also quite tasty. I loved the interior space. It's quite spacious with plenty of seating to sit with your treats and enjoy them there. I think that sets them apart from a lot of the other sweet shops in the area. Everyone there was super helpful and cheerful. I really did just love my time there. Great place. Would definitely recommend a stop in!

    I love everything about Hartford to begin with but THIS just takes the (cup)cake. So I have to…read moreadmit-- I was bummed to see the poor reviews from other Yelpers. Sorry to hear about your negative experiences! After hunting down the Cupcake Brake and standing in (an entirely female) line for 20 minutes, it was finally time for my order. Gotta say, it was worth the wait. My friend opted for the Charter Oak Chocolate cupcake with brown sugar buttercream frosting. I chose the Capital: moist vanilla cake with pecans, pineapple, & banana... I also selected the brown sugar buttercream & had the cupcake filled with Boston Cream. Almost as good as the custom cupcakes are their clever CT inspired names: Plain Twain, Mohegan Mocha, Charter Oak Chocolate, Colony Carrot, Yankee Lemon & more. Keep in mind- different flavors are available on different days. Glad to see Hartford has some tasty mobile treats running around town! Now it's time to track down The Pie Brake...

    According to Mr. Murphy and his laws if there is only one place to get cupcakes near I work; those…read morecupcakes will be terrible and horrible things will happen as a result of buying said cupcakes. Luckily, Murphy has never worked in Hartford and tried The Cupcake Brake. I also doubt that Murphy ever tried a cupcake or there would be a "except if there is a cupcake involved" clause to all his laws. The Cupcake Brake is a brightly coloured yellow truck that parks in different areas of Hartford each day. You can either leave getting a cupcake to the serendipitous chance of running into the truck... or if you're more aggressive about your cupcake hunting you can sign up for the email updates (on the website) or follow TheCupcakeBrake on Twitter. Larry (or as I call him "The Cupcake Man") makes phenomenal little cupcakes that really pack a powerful punch. How's that for accidental alliteration? Upon arriving at the cupcake truck you're met with an absurd amount of choices as you choose the type of cupcake base, the frosting and whether or not you'd like it filled (and if so, with what!). Decisions, decisions. My first impression upon lifting my cupcake from its nondescript white paper bag was that I should go back and order one more. It seemed smaller than the monstrous ones that have become so popular (Crumbs..). I was wrong however, and I was completely satisfied with one. The frosting was buttery and rich and not overwhelmingly sweet. The cupcake base was moist and dense, a nice contrast from the frosting. I'd ordered peanut butter filling that was nice and nutty, but I think I'll have to try the marshmallow or Boston creme next time. I finished my cupcake and had to fight the urge to try capturing the icing that had been left behind inside the bag. Take that Murphy.
