I've heard such great things about. I've heard such great things about this place and couldn't wait to try the cakes. Goes to show you not to believe the hype. I wasn't at all impressed. Someone brought cupcakes in to work from Flying Monkey.They were chocolate with buttercream frosting. Both were not good. The frosting tasted like cool whip with lard added and the cake tasted like cheap box cake mix. I've had much better at small unknown bakeries in my neighborhood.

YUM.. How is it that I'm the first to review the Monkey? I don't know what to rave about first - the cupcakes or the brownies or the homemade marshmallows rolled in graham cracker crumbs. The Flying Monkey's frosting is deliciously light (I am told it is "French buttercream") and I'm a die-hard fan of the vanilla-vanilla cupcake. Mmmm. This is making me hungry.
