Cupcakes

by Matt B on January 22nd, 2008

If you’ve seen one cupcake, you’ve seen them all, right? Think again.

Cupcakes puts together their namesake like no one else. Using the finest ingredients, these chefs bake the mini-masterpieces in small batches and frost each one by hand. The tasty treats have been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the Food Network’s The Secret Life of… series. With references like those, you know they have to be good.

You can even make sure the cupcakes are as unique and perfect as you are. Cupcakes specializes in customizations. Have a favorite color, flavor, logo, or picture in mind? Want them to be vegan-friendly, sugar-free, or gluten-free? The culinary artists will be happy to accommodate, creating desserts that are perfect for your next party, whatever the theme. Or just drop in and check out their menu, which changes from week to week, so you’ll always find something new.

Trying to pick your favorite though will be no piece of cupcake.
