I ordered a larger amount of cupcakes for a birthday event and let everyone pick their own flavors, it worked out well. I took these to a restaurant and there was no worrying about cutting a cake, asking the server for a whole bunch of extra things. Everyone loved their cupcake and it was a great idea. Flavor does have the best cupcakes in the Harford County area. I did take off one star because I personally love the coconut cupcake and I feel like I never am able to catch it since it's a special flavor, I did ask when I placed this order if coconut would be available this week and of course it wasn't, but they would make it for me if I placed a $500 order is what I was told. They need to do a better job of letting you know what cupcakes are available and when. Maybe some sort of sign up for your favorite flavors and then you get an alert when they have it that week.

Premium cupcakes with good variety. 1/4 of the batch were dry (biggest pet peeve), but most were solid. Favorite was the banana custard, which had a banana bread base.

Hi all! I have a friend who is getting married and myself (the maid of honor) and a friend (matron of honor) recently threw a bridal shower. Between myself and the matron of honor, we bought a lemon flavored cake, vanilla and red velvet cupcakes and vanilla and red velvet cake pops from Flavor. If you’re thinking about ordering from them, I would definitely give all the recommendations that I can give to this company! The cost may be a little pricey, but in all honesty - you definitely get what you pay for! I would pay whatever I needed to order from them again! All three items were beautifully decorated AND tasted AMAZING!!! If you’re throwing any kind of event and need any desserts at all - I can’t sing enough praises about these guys! 10 out of 10 - definitely recommend!
