I am not ashamed to say that I AM A CUPCAKE WHORE!

I can never get enough of cupcakes and I always wanna try new ones and compare.

My latest find is LoveCakes. OMG. Looooove these. They are the perfect size and the icing has the perfect touch of sweetness. Some cupcake places can’t seem to get the icing right, they either make it too sweet where it feels like your molars are giving way to cavities as you chew or it’s not sweet enough and basically tastes like mush. LoveCakes gets it right!

They have great flavors too:

• red velvet
  our best seller, vibrant red cake topped with tangy vanilla bean cream cheese frosting
• the classics
  vanilla or chocolate cake topped with vanilla cream cheese or rich chocolate frosting
• chocolate chocolate chocolate
  moist chocolate cake topped with rich chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles
• dalmation
  vanilla cake studded with mini chocolate chips topped with cream cheese frosting and chocolate sprinkles
• s’mores
  dense chocolate cake topped with fluffy marshmallow frosting and dusted with graham cracker crumbs, finished with a mini chocolate bar
• carrot
  moist carrot cake studded with toasted pecans and topped with orange cream cheese frosting
• hummingbird
  banana, pineapple and coconut cake topped with cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans
• chocolate peanut butter
  moist chocolate cake topped with fluffy peanut butter frosting
• peanut butter cup
  vanilla cake mixed with peanut butter cup candies topped with rich chocolate frosting
• strawberry
  tangy strawberry cake topped with sweet strawberry frosting
• lemon
  zingy lemon cake topped with tart poppy seed lemon cream cheese frosting
• piña colada
  pineapple cake topped with coconut cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut flakes
• coco-nuts!
  coconut cake topped with coconut cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut flakes
• banana chocolate chip
  light banana cake mixed with milk chocolate chips topped with rich chocolate frosting
• pumpkin
  moist pumpkin cake topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting
• black and white
  vanilla cake marbled with dark chocolate topped with rich chocolate frosting

I am proud to say that my scientific research can vouch for the red velvet, vanilla, hummingbird, and strawberry. All were amazing.  Some ignorant people think all cupcakes are created equal. I beg to differ. When quality ingredients are used, my taste buds gleam with joy! I was really impressed with the rich ingredients and how fresh the fruit ones tasted. Such a difference. It’s like comparing Coach to Chanel. Umm…there is no comparison!!!!

As if tasting delicious weren’t satisfying enough, the owner, Angie is soooo accomodating, a pleasure to deal with, and extremely efficient. Oh, and on top of that, THEY DELIVER!!! Helloooooo. It doesn’t get easier than that. You place your order and they show up at your venue with a smile and amazing cupcakes. As a mom, this is definitely a luxury, especially when it’s for a kid party or event. It means one less thing to stress out over!
