Comments on: Sparkle Cupcakery, Surry Hills http://tastedbytwo.com/2009/06/14/sparkle-cupcakery-surry-hills/ A tantalising photographic food journey, tasted by two (food) lovers Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:56:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Emma http://tastedbytwo.com/2009/06/14/sparkle-cupcakery-surry-hills/comment-page-1/#comment-13306 Emma Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:24:01 +0000 http://tastedbytwo.com/?p=3#comment-13306 I agree with the last reviewer Sparkle Cupcakes were a complete disappointment to me and has to be the WORST HIGH TEA IN SYDNEY. I don't know if anyone else has been there for high tea but in a word DON'T. It is a complete waste of money the cupcakes were dry and crumbling they all tasted the same, the service was hopeless, the manager extraordinarily rude and the setting cheap and tacky. The photos on the website made it look incredible but it was like real estate photos when you think you are going to see an amazing house and you show up and it is a shoddy second rate flea infested student flat. It was supposed to be a wonderful girly experience but my girlfriends and I left feeling cheated and short changed not to mention hungry. $45 for a high tea that really shouldn't call itself a high tea. The staff were rude and I agree that the manager really didn't care. When we told her we were disappointed she basically told us not to come back....wonderful customer service. In this difficult financial market for the manager to be so rude to paying customers it really will surprise me if this crummy establishment survives!!

Instead of calling me and asking what flavour to substitute as they were out of one flavour, they chose the flavour which I happened to loathe. When calling to let them know about the mistake in the order, the manager, Katherine, was the rudest lady I have every spoken to. She belittled me and told me that they made the order as I requested which they did not and did not even apologise for not calling me to change the flavour. I will never ever return and I warn those who do make an order not to pay till after the purcahse. Just to let everyone know, the cupcakes I ordered for a birthday were not the flavours I ordered.

Aussies do cupcakes the best, as we strictly use the 'from scratch' method. Agree - nothing special about Magnolia.
