Remember the other day when I showed you guys the Miette inside? Well, as I dug up these photos from last fall, when I'm on the book tour, I find a lot more sweet shops that I showed you guys. Want to see? Pay attention. You will need a cupcake or nine before he finished watching them all.
The first stage of the book tour was Portland, Oregon. And it would not be complete without a visit to Voodoo Doughnut.
love those pink boxes printed logo.
Check out their signature Voodoo Doughnut.
Yummm. They have fun flavors like Bacon Maple Bar, Grape Ape and even donuts covered cereal.
Also in Portland is Saint Cupcake Deluxe.
their cupcakes were delicious and piled high with frosting.
The shop was too cute for words with their adorable section of party supplies. I had to have these paper cups. Although I did not bring myself to use them again.
In Seattle, we Cupcake Royale. In fact, there are five of them.
Cupcake Julie and I visited two of their locations.
Great sign.
Large packaging. Like the slogan.
And great little tasting cakes with beautifully swirling frosting.
Trophy Cupcakes also in Seattle. They have three locations. Make sure you visit at least one of them. Trophy was on the Martha Stewart Show on the same day I was during Cupcake week 08. It was fun to finally see the shop in person.
Look what peanut butter frosting. Yes please.
This is the location Wallingford Center. The canopies are fantastic.
We took some cupcakes to eat.
Then Julie and I had a cupcake showdown between stores in Seattle.
I think it was a draw because we do not compare the flavor to the taste, it was too hard to choose. They both had really delicious small cakes.
On donuts just to freeze outside Seattle.
more traditional Voodoo flavors ... and that was fine by me.
ice cream anyone?
Well, if you are in San Francisco you really need to check out Bi-Rite Creamery.
Get a shovel or take some home. This stuff is so good.
Brown Sugar Ginger Caramel Swirl. Need I say more?
Miette You remember, of course.
delicious cookies and more.
that takes the cake in San Francisco was a small store, but big on flavor.
I'll take Peanut butter cups on the cake at any time.
right on Union Street in San Francisco is another candy store.
Pacific Puffs.
All about cream puffs.
Founded by two brothers who are the recipe for their mother. Boys Buff sale flashes. I'm sold.
Wow, Julie and I have really outdone in San Francisco.
This is another. American Cupcake.
Filled with colorful cupcakes ...
And some topped with cotton candy. So cute.
Cupcakes Kara is located in Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco.
modern. Beautiful. Delicious.
And with such sweet staff.
After San Francisco, I met with my mother in Los Angeles.
We stopped by Vanilla Bake Shop in Santa Monica.
You can not miss this shop with its graphic awning jumbo.
I see pops.
And shots slow fire.
Perty cupcakes.
Then came Sprinkles Cupcakes in Beverly Hills.
A sweet group of girls welcomed us.
Their red velvet is one of my favorites.
Mom and I sat outside and enjoyed a few.
Salt Lake City, Utah we did not do all the cupcake shops due time, luckily I had a few people bring some fairy Sweet teeth. Maria thank you and friends.
Yum.
I mean YUM. We made quite the scene waiting for our plane to the airport and all checked.
Wanna see more?
So check More Cupcakes in Chicago.
They have a super cool way to display their cupcakes.
Look what icing.
Cupcakes Molly is also in Chicago.
Peach Cobbler cupcakes anyone?
This shop was packed with a line out the door.
And worth every bite. One face is called Ron Bennington. chocolate cake, filling peanut butter, chocolate ganache and caramel topping. Help.
Unfortunately, in New York, I made it to the shop of a cupcake.
But it is one I would visit again and again.
Baked by Melissa teeniny made small cakes and used without packaging.
Look at all. These little guys were surprisingly moist and yuuummmy. The only thing I would do differently next time is for more than six of these wonders of a mouthful. Bite or two if you want to look like you have table manners.
Well here. 17 stores in 8 cities. We hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I did eat at all.
