the great cupcake debate

because i don't drink,
i REALLY know my sugar...
i don't know if i should be proud or embarrassed that i'm quite the cupcake connoisseur.
i'm not a fan of magnolia's & billy's (too sugary, grainy, dry), nor crumbs (bad frosting and DRY!).

i like baked by melissa but can plow thru a dozen of those bite sized cupcakes without blinking and ... well.... there goes $12.

my favorite overall bakeries:

sprinkles 


i LOVE the s'mores, chocolate marshmallow, red velvet, pumpkin, etc...
and molly's cupcakes


i'm crazy for their peach cobbler cupcake (insanity.) and ron bennington (chocolate peanut butter).


evie nani is crazy for the peach cobbler cupcake.

happy cupcaking!

I went on a cupcake hunt while living in DC last year and out of Crumbs, Georgetown Cupcake (DC Cupcakes), Baked & Wired, and Sprinkles - Sprinkles definitely came out on top. So good.

I agree! I am huge cupcake fan (it's a little silly) and I have tasted almost every cupcake in LA/SB and my favorite is Sprikles. They did the cupcakes at my wedding!

Magnolia is too grainy. There is something off. I think they need more butter.

Nothing upsets me more than lard in frosting!

Natalie: Sweet Revenge on Carmine Street. Life changing. Their peanut butter chocolate is the best... and I don't even like cake that much.

Mine: Banana with dark chocolate frosting at sprinkles. WAY the best.

Went on a cupcake tour yesterday in NYC. First time at Molly's and loved it. I will be back for sure. Magnolia's red velvet was try. Won't be going back. Recently went to Sprinkles and loved the Smores. Red velvet was a bit sweet for me but it could be b/c it was my second cupcake of the day. I will have to try it again on my next visit. Lemon was really good too. That was the first one I tried there last month.
