Everyone knows that cupcakes are wonderful and should probably be called Happy Cakes instead of cupcakes – it seems more appropriate, given the fact that they are personalized smiles in dessert form. The question is, with all the flavors and the shops out there, which one is the best? Nofrodelius and I decided to try to find the answer on Memorial Day – stopping at cupcake shops all across town. I started at New York Cupcake on the eastside, met up with Nofrodelius in Seattle, dropped by Yellowleaf in Belltown, headed over to Trophy in Wallingford, and made our last stop at Cupcake Royale before going next door to Ballard Coffee to do the actual taste test. We had 8 cupcakes, two from each store – and couldn’t have been happier!
Cupcake crawl – we went to Trophy, Yellowleaf, New York Cupcake, and Cupcake Royale to see who had the best cupcakes. We tried a variety of flavors ranging from normal chocolate to off the wall Elvis.
