3 reviews for Babycake Cupcakes
If you want cupcake variety, you've gotta make Babycake Cupcakes your jam. They've got over a dozen types of cupcakes with sassy names like "Velvet Underground", "Thumper's Odyssey", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Lemony Snickets." No plain vanilla or chocolate cupcakes here - they've taken the art of cupcaking to the next level with flavours like mango, mint, pumpkin, lemon, peanut butter, cardamom and marshmallow.
Cupcakes are baked on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so check in on one of those days for optimal freshness. They're $3.25, so by no means cheap, but for the inventive flavour combinations I'd consider it a bargain.
I sampled two cupcakes:
* "Punk'd" - pumpkin with cream cheese frosting. There was a beautiful orange pumpkin fondant cutout on top of the cupcake and it was the perfect size. This was by far one of the best cupcakes I've tasted and I wouldn't hesitate to order a batch for a special occasion.
* "Blue By You" - chocolate cake with peppermint frosting. I *love* dark chocolate and eat it whenever I can get my hands on it (which is always) and this cupcake satisfied my craving for both mint and chocolate, combined. There was a beautiful fondant star on top and the icing was a vibrant robin's egg blue. Decadent!
As delicious as they are adorable, these cupcakes are one of my favourites in the city. Every flavour I've tried has been amazing, but nothing tops the "One Love" cupcake with its perfect mango cake topped with perfect mango frosting. NUM.
Be aware that these cuppies aren't cheap though: they go for $3.25 a pop. Also, to get at these little treats you actually have to go into their parent restaurant, Lil'Baci, which is right next door. Just tell them that you're there for the cupcakes and they'll show you the goods. ;)
Dear Babycake,
When I looked at your menu, you overwhelmed me! There were so many good choices that it was hard to pick just one. But a decision had to be made and I picked 'One Love', a mango cake with mango icing. Your cake was dense and thick and little chunks of mango found its way into the crevices of my teeth. I should have brought some floss. I wish I could have eaten you with some milk also!
Thank you for all your wonderful flavors, I shall be back to try more!
Love,
Dreamsrey
