A win on Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” gained them some major bake-cred, and after tasting the winning flavors I can attest it’s very well deserved.

 

 

This is by far their most interesting flavor, and it’s one of the three responsible for their “Cupcake Wars” win. To me, this is what cupcakes are all about – going wild with the flavors, and nailing the execution. People are more adventurous with their selections when they don’t have to commit to a whole cake and this is the perfect choice to break you out of your comfort zone. Plus, tequila!

vanilla cake w/cinnamon cream cheese frosting

I was actually surprised I liked this as much as I did. It’s pretty simple for my taste, as are snickerdoodle cookies for that matter. The flavor is just right on though. This is a crowd pleaser as well, several good reviews on this one.

I love cheesecake and this tastes freakishly close to the real thing. I love the graham cracker crust as well. Another crowd pleaser.

brown sugar beer cake, salted caramel frosting, topped with cayenne dusted bacon

Of course I love this one. What’s not to love?! All the flavors taste amazing together but the best surprise is the beer cake. I could eat that by itself all day long. How often can you say that about a cupcake?

If you don’t live near the Bay Area they will ship their popular delights! It’s pretty pricy (add $29/dozen) but they discount when you buy a dozen. It’s a definite splurge but I’m a big fan of treating yourself, especially with baked goods! If you’re worried about the freshness in shipping I personally just drove five dozen cupcakes two hours to bring them to work the next day and everyone flipped out over the day old ‘cakes. Two days later, (surprisingly) same reaction!
