Sweetly Baked, Salem OR
We went up to Salem to see the solar eclipse in August and ended up seeing it from Coria Estates Winery. Sweetly Baked was giving out free mini cupcakes to the guests, and they had a variety of flavors to choose from. These cupcakes were pretty tasty and super moist. Noms!
Meyer lemon cake, olive oil lemon curd. $3.25
Moustache Baked Goods, Healdsburg CA
This was good, but I wanted more of the lemon curd. It was very pretty though and I liked the little white balls on top.
The Kate, Triple Threat, Royale with Cheese, Lavender, Lemon Drop, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Salted Caramel, and more!
Cupcake Royale, Seattle WA
These cupcakes were not only pretty, but they were really tasty! I loved all the different flavors and they were moist to boot. Noms!
Vanilla and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, and seasonal maple flavor.
Cupcake Royale, Seattle WA
These little babycakes are cute, but they’re definitely not as good as their normal sized cupcakes. While the flavors were there, they were kinda dry and lifeless. I bought these for my niece’s birthday and the kids seemed to enjoy them nevertheless.
Vanilla cupcake with vanilla and chocolate cream, dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with toasted peanuts. $2
Noe Valley Bakery, San Francisco
Another delicious treat from my neighborhood bakery, noms! I love the addition of peanuts on top and the chocolate mouse inside. Yummy in my tummy!
Vanilla cupcake with vanilla cream, dipped in chocolate. $2
Noe Valley Bakery, San Francisco
This mini cupcake is SO cute and is the perfect size for a quick, less-guilt treat. The cake is light and airy and the nostalgic shape is adorable!
This is one of Susie’s signature “frosting filled” cupcakes, in one of their most popular flavors. And yes, that indentation on top is intentional, all of the cupcakes had them (personally, not a fan). Something else that I wasn’t impressed with was that they throw these cupcakes into a paper bag for you to take home. Needless to say, my cupcake was smashed on the sides when I got home. Who wants to eat an ugly cupcake, am I right!? I tried patching it, but it still looked sad and defeated. Even Mission Minis boxes their tiny morsels for take-home. The red “sprinkles” on top are actually red velvet cake crumbs. This cupcake was OK. Perhaps a frosting overload with it both on top and inside, and I couldn’t get over the smashed look to it. $3

Red velvet buttermilk cake with classic cream cheese frosting topped with red sprinkles. Mexican rice milk cake with classic cream cheese frosting topped with freshly ground cinnamon. $1 each
Mission Minis, San Francisco CA
These mini cupcakes are SO cute! I’ve purchased dozens of these delicious treats to serve at parties and everyone enjoys them a lot. The staff is really friendly and it’s super easy to place and pick up orders. Mission Minis has a variety of flavors to choose from and you can even request custom flavors. At $1 per cupcake, I think they are a perfect treat. Sometimes they even offer discounted deals through Groupon and other deal websites.
