  Update - 5/24/2010

I've been two more times since my original review and Life is Sweet is just as good the second (and third!) time around.

I've recently tried the mango and the mandarin/earl grey tea flavours, which were both amazing.

The staff has always been nothing…More »

Wandering around looking for Babycake Cupcakes was an effort in futility. Note: it's *inside* Lil' Baci. Ahem.

I went on a Saturday and I lucked out -- they had three (3) cupcakes of varying flavours left! I ended up with a Cookies'n'Cream, Velvet…More »

The final place I had on my "Must-Try-Cupcakes-Here" list and Sweet Bliss didn't disappoint.

The selection of baked goods was excellent and it smelled amazing in the shop.

I chose three flavours to try: Red Velvet, Vanilla (with pink frosting!), and…More »

LPK's Culinary Groove popped my vegan cherry. I'm sure LPK would be happy to know this. :-)

LPK's is a small shop on Queen East near Broadview that specializes in vegan and organic creations. I went specifically to try a cupcake, which was okay, but…More »

After trying two flavors -- chocolate and vanilla -- I was sold! The cupcakes were moist and the icing was delicious! It's the really sweet kind, which I love! The staff was very sweet and the price point is good.

It's a long trip to the Cupcake…More »

Tucked neatly in Liberty Village, you'd have to either a) live near there or  b) have someone tell you about it, but For The Love of Cake has a variety of cupcake flavours. Because I've recently had my first Guinness, I noticed the Guinness flavoured…More »

The final destination on my cupcake crawl proved to be an expensive one. I would give 2.5 stars if I could, but I can't, so I'm rounding down.

I'll start with the cupcakes: they only had vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, which I found odd. However, the…More »
