Why has no one talked about this sooner?! Shops devoted solely to cupcakes?? BRILLIANT. Forget a bakery. Who needs all that extra bread and blah? Just give me my sweet mini cakes.
Nestled in a little boutique-type shop on
Colonial Streetright near Coppolas Deli and the Byrd Theatre, they bake their cupcakes from scratch daily and only stay open until the cupcakes sell out. And the options are skimpy.

They have the classics like vanilla (vanilla cupcake with either vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting), chocolate (chocolate buttermilk cupcake with either vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting), carrot (carrot cupcake full of carrots, raisins, and a hint of allspice topped with cream cheese icing and chopped pecans), and red velvet (red cocoa cupcake with cream cheese icing).
They also have unique contraptions, like the hummingbird, which is a sweet cupcake full of pineapple, bananas, and a hint of cinnamon, topped with cream cheese icing with chopped pecans.
My personal favorite is the vegan Oreo cupcake. Irresistible!
But if these options aren’t enough for you, their weekly specials should help you out.
Look what you could’ve been enjoying this week!
