I really want to like Dozen. The proprietors are nice people, they have convenient locations, and their shops have an inviting, albeit busy feel to them. \n\nI simply do not like their cupcakes. I find them overly frosted and the cake dry. This is applicable, unfortunately, to their other baked goods as well. \n\nTwo great things about Dozen. First, their brunch is fantastic. I love the quiches! Second. If you ask, they will make you special treats for your dog (I have bought pup-cakes on more than one occasion!) \n\nThese redeeming qualities do not make up for the sub-par baked goods. Also, some of their better brunch items are sold out after a very short time. I might go back... but only for the brunch.
