Sweet sampling: A local cupcake tasting
Posted on Tue, 07.22.2008 @ 13:01I have tried many of the ones listed on the article, but must say they're really not at all that impressive. Buttercream's is greasy and Misha's are never consistent--everything she makes has chocolate (how could you call a white cake, with white chocolate chips, vanilla?). I recommend Sugar Girl Bakeshop and Wish Upon A Cupcake for both delicious cakes and great decor/presentation. * * * Response to Siddarthur * * * In response to your question: yes, I have ordered and/or sampled from the ones who do not have stores. I'm a frequent visitor to a website called Cupcakes Take The Cake (www.cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com) and they have a list of cupcake bakeries/mail order/catering, etc. throughout the US as well as abroad. As I travel, I often refer to that list to see if there will be any cupcake shops in the area I'm visiting. Additionally, I have children and have friends who have children. We don't have the time to bake and to decorate cupcakes for our children's parties and other events. Heck! My friend hosted her daughter's party at Sweetcakes! Through word of mouth we've been able to sample all of the vendors listed in the article--except Two Girls and A Cupcake--along with many more that were not listed.

I took the liberty of listing two that I had tried recently and wanted to share with readers of this article. BTW, while I'm at it, here are a few more: The Cupcake Bistro, Cheeky Cupcakes (Aventura), and Sweet Annie's Baked Goods (delicious little pies and cupcakes!). I simply stated something that has was mind-boggling to me: a white chocolate chip cupcake with white chocolate frosting sold as a vanilla cupcake?! C'mon folks! LOL Ironically, the only cupcake shop owner I know is Colleen Bell from Sticky Fingers (inside Amate Tea Lounge)--and she's closed shop and moved to Georgia! I didn't have to go to the tasting to sample anything: I had already done it all on my own. It's a shame that when we want to share other great finds (that were missed by the events organizers) we're quickly labeled as biased. :( ... Read more
