Where do you guys get your cupcake fixes?
I can cook but I am not a baker so I have to go outside the home for my cupcakes.
I know LA has a great place called SPrinkles (which are thinking of opening a store here in Chicago and I think in Las Vegas too, legs are crossed for that one)
I have been getting mine at a newish little bakery called The Sweet Honeybee Bakery. Its about a mile from me.
90% of there items are cupcakes. Flavors include
Red Velvet
Lemon
Tiramisu
Banana Chocolate Chip
Strawberry Chocolate Chip
your standard Yellow cake cupcake
your standard Chocolate cake cupcake
Fudge Cupcake
Rocky Road Cupcake
Green Tea
Champagne
German Chocolate and a few others I cant recall
BEST THING IS all the frosting is either Butter Cream or Cream Cheese, none of that whipped air frosting. This is good stick to your hips frosting. The kind that is just perfect for the diabetic comas of our dreams.
(also have the best eclairs ever. i didnt even like eclairs till i had theirs)

Re: Where do you get them?
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 12:28 PMhell yeah for *real* frosting!
there's a small bakery a couple blocks from our new place. i've only had a chocolate cupcake so far (the hubby surprised me with it for breakfast). i want to go over there to see what else they have--but i'm also trying not to gain any weight! it is almost bathing suit time, after all. ; )
usually, when i want a cupcake, i'll bake some and try not to eat too many. lol
