The most random thing happened to me today. While walking to Chinatown for lunch, I passed by a brand new cupcake window stand. It was really ghett-looking because it was tiny and still brand new, but the cupcakes weren’t ghetto at all. It was so new – just opened that day – that they didn’t [...]

I just wanted to give a special shout out to one of the best cupcakes I’ve had, the “Lost in Paradise” cupcake from Cups and Cakes Bakery. It’s a banana cake topped with a strawberry butter cream. The cake was very moist and not too heavy, and the buttercream tasted fresh and fruity. It did [...]

I had high hopes stepping into Mission Minis. Cupcakes in the Mission? That’s new. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with their cake. Simply put, it was dry. Their frosting is not bad though, and I’m sure they’ll improve over time since they are still somewhat new. 3168 22nd St (between Capp St & Mission St) San [...]

I just had a cupcake overload. We grabbed a dozen cupcakes from That Takes the Cake and tried a bunch of their flavors. In the end, there were only a couple that we really liked: the peach cupcake, which was moist and had actual chunks of peaches baked into the cake, and the strawberry cupcake, [...]

What I love about Big Sugar Bakeshop is that it rates a zero in the “pretentiousness scale” but a ten for good taste. It looks like a typical local cafe when you walk in, but their cupcakes are some of the best I’ve had, with the cakes all being moist, and the frosting being light [...]

One of the best red velvet cupcakes I’ve ever had is at Big Man Bakes. The cake was just so moist and flavorful, and it wasn’t a scary bright red either. Their other cupcakes weren’t as impressive. The lemon cupcake had a nice lemony frosting that wasn’t sour at all, if that’s how you like [...]

Ethan and Thanh hasn’t been to the original Kara’s Cupcakes in the Marina, and Chantelle hasn’t had many cupcakes since she’s moved to the city, so we had to go. After all, it’s the mother of all cupcakes in San Francisco. I think I’ve changed to a new favorite at Kara’s: chocolate velvet. The chocolate [...]

I needed last minute cupcakes for Valentine’s Day and Cups and Cakes Bakery came to my rescue. Their cupcakes are just slightly heavier than what I usually like, but to each his own. I’ve actually always been a fan of their cupcakes ever since I tried them a couple years ago at the Yelp holiday [...]

I was in the neighborhood so I figured I should pay a visit to my favorite underrated bakery, Baked. I like their cupcakes. I really think they’re the most underrated cupcakes in the city, possibly because Baked is located in Potrero Hill – way out of the way from everyone else. Their cupcakes are always [...]

We celebrated Linda’s birthday with cupcakes from Kara’s Cupcakes. Only the best for Linda! Kara’s had a peppermint cupcake, which is seasonal. The frosting had bits of peppermint in it. Delicious. Too bad Linda ate the entire cupcake up, leaving only a bit of the frosting behind. At least I got that much.
