CupcakeLand

I’ve been obsessed with cupcakes since I was a kid. Growing up my dad wasn’t big on allowing sweets such as candy, but cupcakes were allowed only on special occasions. So now when I treat myself to one, its always an occasion. I take my time to admire the cupcake, even if its from one of my favorite bakeries. I take the time to appreciate the work of art, thats currently in front of me. I let my cupcakes know that I am truly appreciative for the joy that its about to bring. Thanks to my father, as an adult I still won’t really eat candy, but a cupcake, a cupcake has the ability to make me weak in the knees.

My favorite eatery currently is Piece of Velvet! The cupcakes/cakes melt in your mouth. I promise! It’s like upon first bite, you are navigated into a different time and space, a place where your taste buds have reached the highest peak.

SweetShop

A trip, any destination, virtually means nothing without a trip to a cupcake shop. While in Salt Lake City, I just had to sample one of the Best Cupcake shop, which happened to be Sweet Cake Bake Shop located in Downtown Utah. The shop is nestled on a cute lil street next to a few eateries. 


Of course being the person I am I arrive twenty minutes before closing time, so I kept it simple with three mini cupcakes, chocolate, hummingbird and carrot cake. (Sorry, No Red Velvet this time) Surprisingly the Carrot Cake was my absolute favorite, it was like biting into a sunny day the first day after rain. So super moist but not overly sweet. It was perfection. Chocolate would have to be second as it was almost too sweet but they somehow managed to add just the right mixture. Unfortunately hummingbird fell flat, it just had no umph, no kick. 

I must say this was a “sweet” stop in my exploration of Utah. If ever in Utah, be sure to add Sweet Cake on your list of stops.
