I ordered a dozen of vanilla cupcakes from The Cupcakes Home, and i asked the owner to help me with the presentation and she did, the cupcakes in an elegant and nice bag looked cute and i made a gift to my boss for his birthday, he was so happy!
My friend Anne got married a month ago and she didn't want a cake, she ordered with a nice ribbon in each cupcake 350 of them. They were delicious!
The owner is nice, she take order online,thecupcakeshome@yahoo.com but if you just want to taste one of those delicious cupcakes, with a coffee, go to Aventura Mall in Aventura, here in Miami ... Read more
So Gatorgirl, you have ordered from the ones that do not have stores? If so, I am curious which ones? Before you get on the "it's America and I can say what I want to", one should not comment and generalize a group if they haven't tried them all. As they say, "don't judge a book buy its cover".
Your comments sound biased to favor personal acquaintances?
Sounds like you are bitter that you didn't get to go to the event! : )
**RESPONSE TO GATORGIRL**
If you read the review, they had close to 9 different cupcakers. How the hell were they suppose to add more cupcakers for the tasters? Sugar coma is one thing, coronary heart attack is another. Interesting event, hope they do another one!... Read more
I 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.

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've often commissioned some of these shops to make and deliver cupcake gift boxes to friends and family. I've consumed enough calories from these places to be able offer an opinion. 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. :(

oh I wish I was one of the tasters!=( Would have loved to know what Miami has to offer all in one place! Have not tried many just Misha's, Buttercream, and a deliver only place that I don't see mentioned is The Cupcake Bistro??? did anyone know about them. I found them because of a baby shower I attended "Outstanding". Overall I love cupcakes so there is not many places that you can go wrong ha!... Read more
