Dark Chocolate Banana Cupcake at Sprinkles Cupcakes in Palo Alto

February 11th, 2013 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

Haters gonna hate but there’s no doubt that Sprinkles Cupcakes is the mother of cupcakes. They set the benchmark for cupcakes over five years ago and I still find myself eating them. This flavor is new to me – dark chocolate banana cupcake. The cake was like banana bread and very moist. The frosting is [...]

Cupcakes at Pastries and Petals

June 21st, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Monterey Bay, Travels / Leave A Comment

As a cupcake fan, I had to visit Pastries and Petals. This shop is probably the classiest a cupcake shop can get: marble tables, actual silverware (as opposed to disposable), fresh flowers, and great table service. All of the cakes were topped with flowers. They were all certainly pretty. As for actual taste, though, I [...]

Must Eat Green Tea Cupcake at Love at First Bite in Berkeley

April 30th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

The cupcakes at Love at First Bite aren’t the best, but they do have some awesome flavors that you can’t find just anywhere. In general, green tea is an all-time favorite flavor of mine – just call me Asian. Their green tea cupcake was a must for me and I loved it. The green tea [...]

Cupcakes at Wonderland Custom Cakes in Pasadena

April 21st, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, San Gabriel Valley, Travels / 2 Comments

In the land of cupcakes, Wonderland Custom Cakes marked its territory. It helped that they were featured and won on an episode of Cupcake Wars on the Food Network. The cupcakes are all definitely pretty and creatively designed and named. Here are my thoughts: you’ll like them if you like your cupcakes hard-frosted, rich, dense, [...]

Cupcakes at Sweet Dreams in Colma

March 12th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

Good cupcakes do exist in the Daly City/Colma area. Sweet Dreams makes very cute cupcakes and they are not bad! I had a couple flavors, but I’ll just talk about the red velvet. A little denser and moister would have bee nicer, but it’s all preference. The cake was light, fluffy, and not too sweet. [...]

Must Eat Red Velvet Cupcake at Baked

It’s been a while since I last visited Baked, but it’s always been a favorite of mine for cupcakes. It was never OMG this is the best thing ever good but it was always very good and very consistent, and now, I think that it has actually improved. I just had their red velvet cupcake [...]

Labor Day Scoutmob Weekend – Free Food

September 7th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under American, Argentine, Bakery, Dessert, Food, Mexican, Vietnamese / Leave A Comment

Labor day was an epic weekend of free food, thanks to Scoutmob, and since everyone was out of town, the restaurants weren’t busy and parking was plentiful. Ten restaurants offered free food, and they weren’t no sample-sized teasers either. Even more, the owners/workers were all very friendly. Jennifer and I decided to spend Saturday Scoutmobbing/freeloading [...]

Nute’s Cupcakes at New Taste Marketplace

September 3rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Thai / Leave A Comment

I wanted to give a special mention to Nute’s Cupcakes. Asian-flavored mini cupcakes is her thing, like green tea and chili lime, though the group favorite seemed to be pandan. On another note, she also serves some mean green curry. I was able to try her stuff at the New Taste Marketplace, which happens once [...]

Basil Lemon Blueberry Cupcake at Kingdom Cake

May 27th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

The basil lemon blueberry mini cupcake at Kingdom Cake is a unique treat. It sorta reminds me of a better, lemony version of a blueberry muffin, and with a unique basil taste. It’s obvious the cupcakes weren’t mind in that tiny window of a store, and cupcakes were cold, but they’re still good! (Yeah, $2 [...]

Must Eat Red Velvet Cupcake at That Takes the Cake

May 27th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

That Takes the Cake has gone a long way since it first opened up a few years ago. Their cake used to be really dry and the frosting was so hard that it would crumble, but now, they’re all about the moistness – the red velvet, especially. It’s still hard-frosted, but the frosting isn’t as [...]
