In Search of the Perfect Cupcake
See All Lists
1. Morimoto Napa
I have found the perfect cupcake.
Who would have thought Iron Chef Morimoto would win the cupcake war with a perfectly balanced, perfectly textured yellow cake with yuzu lemon curd filling and coconut frosting? Not too sweet, not too heavy. I loved…More »
2. Bebecakes Cupcakery - CLOSED
Drama Queen! I think coconut cupcakes have taken over as my number one favorite. I also brought a Latin Bombshell home for hubby. (Aren't I the best wife ever? Even if we *are* only talking about cupcakes...) Bebecakes' cupcakes are very moist,…More »

Neighbourhood: Midtown East
I had read about the cupcake debate here and in a couple magazine articles, and thought it would be fun to try to find both Magnolia and Buttercup during my last visit to NYC. Unfortunately, the line at Magnolia's was too long for a weekend tourist,…More »
4. Dick's Bakery
To help celebrate a friend's "50th lap around the sun," we ordered a half sheet of burnt almond cake from Dick's Bakery. They decorated it with balloons with exactly the colors we requested and everyone at the party loved it.

Brought hubby a slice of burnt almond cake for his birthday and he really enjoyed it. He also… Read more »
5. Georgetown Cupcake
Earlier this year in April we happened to be in DC and saw an ad somewhere for Georgetown Cupcake. This was prior to heading to Manhattan, where I thought I was going to pick up some highly desirable red velvets. Well, long after our East Coast…More »
6. Icing on the Cake
I wasn't sure if Icing on the Cake offered cupcakes in their shop, but hubby confirmed this for me by surprising me one day and bringing home two red velvets and two vanilla coconuts. The cake portions had decent flavor and density, and the cream…More »

I have to agree with rebecca a. -- get the banana cake. I have friends who live in the gated… Read more »
7. La Villa Delicatessen & Gourmet Shop
I just had a red velvet cupcake that was amazing. I love everything at La Villa, except the long lines.

Ditto, Emily W. The home-made ravioli is delicious...you must try it.
8. Los Altos Bakery and Cafe
Yay, another place that doesn't put celery in their chicken salad! Being allergic to celery, I often have to pass up on chicken or tuna salad sandwiches. Los Altos Bakery seasons their chicken salad with dill and black pepper. It came on thick…More »

Stacks is my restaurant of choice when it comes to meeting clients on the Peninsula for breakfast. On early weekday mornings, we usually get seated right away. The food is nicely prepared in large portions, and I really enjoy the fresh blueberries…More »
10. Vanilla Moon Bakery
Just had to write another update for Vanilla Moon after picking up a special of the day, the Chocolate Graham Cracker S'Mores. Yum! Red Velvet is fast becoming my third favorite of all time, behind Georgetown Cupcake's vanilla coconut and this…More »

11. Cosy Cave Bake Shoppe
I could not resist going into this cute bakery and trying at least ONE cupcake. There were several flavors to choose from, and we settled on a simple vanilla cake with white frosting. Nice density, good flavor, very good frosting. A little too…More »
12. Sheng Kee Bakery
I have enjoyed almost everything, sweet and savory, that I've tried from the Cupertino shop. Stick to the Asian-style breads. You can easily find something for a quick take-out lunch, from pastry items to pre-made sandwiches on the counter. Sheng…More »

Mom, little sis, and I had dinner here before the symphony. Despite all accolades and high expectations, the food was just okay. Desserts were not much more impressive, although you'll enjoy them more while sitting down at a table. I have also…More »
14. Cupcake Jones
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 222-4404
I bought 5, yes 5, different flavored cupcakes from Cupcake Jones. Although they are larger than the standard size, and pretty to look at, the cakes are dry and crumbly and totally lacking in flavor. The frosting is on the thick side and also…More »
15. Kara's Cupcakes
Since my diet's already been blown out of the water these past couple of months, why not try more cupcakes? The Kara's vs. Sprinkles debate rages on, but in my opinion there is no debate. Both are a complete waste of money.
To celebrate a friend's…More »
16. Miette Patisserie
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 837-0300
I was disappointed to find the cupcakes (of various flavors) are only so-so here at Miette. Although decorated quite beautifully, I am reminded of women who wear too much make-up...
The macarons are good and pretty close to what you might find in…More »
17. Sprinkles Cupcakes
Oh Sprinkles, how you disappoint me. I really wanted to like this cute store and the goodies inside. I also seriously jeopardized my waistline by trying 4 cupcakes before writing this review. And considering how I hate writing bad reviews (less…More »
18. Sugar Butter Flour
What is it about cupcakes in California? Do they need to be as dry as the baked earth that makes up this Golden State?
SBF's Red Velvet did not come close to New York's version...it was reasonably dense, but bland as could be. I didn't even finish…More »
19. The Cupcakery
I was actually dancing in the hallway when I saw all the unexpected, beautiful cupcakes ahead of me. We picked up two red velvets, an Oh - My Gosh, Ganache!, and a coconut vanilla. Unfortunately, the cupcakes look way better than they taste. The…More »

Walking into the store I was hit by the sickly sweet smell of fried doughnuts. That should have been enough warning for me, as I don't like doughnuts. But I was in New York! I wanted a Red Velvet cupcake!
Sitting in Union Square Park, I took one…More »
Recently updated lists from Sherri C.
When Romance is in the Air... (12)...these are some of the places guaranteed to serve up a memorable experience for that special occasion. |
Reasonable South Bay Dining Options (36)Places you can visit regularly for decent meals without breaking the bank. |
Ramen From South Bay to South Bay (17)Until there's more time to Yelp, here's the short list of ramen places I've been to from SF to LA. |
Best Places to 'Cruz (4)Where I like to go when I have the chance to get over the hill! |
Late Night Places (6)In search of places to eat after 9:00 pm, these are the restaurants where we often end up. |
O Canada (13)It could be the refreshing mountain air, the high altitude, or the fact that Canadian cooks are often of European descent. I found Rocky Mountain cuisine to be above-average delicious and the bread served at every restaurant was unique and awesome. |
Sherri's Bay Area Sushi and Sashimi Experiences (59)Fresh fish is not a luxury, but a must-have, and after downing this staple at least two or three times a week, I still don't have as extensive a list as I should. Maybe I need to up my intake frequency... |
The One-Star List (14)Most of the time I don't want to bother writing about the one-stars and when I do, it's probably because I wished I could give the place no stars or negative star ratings! |
So Much to Do with So Little Time in Vegas... (48)I've gone to Vegas so often you'd think I'd be bored of it, but every time I visit it is usually for a company event or tradeshow with not much time to check things out. Also, the Strip seems to be in a constant state of new construction so it's never quite the same each time. |
Palo Alto Places (18)Some of my favorite places in PA to eat or hang out... |
