Okay so I decided to see what all the hype was about and took my daughters to Cupcake Royale in Ballard a couple of weeks ago. When I got there I was delighted to find a parking spot right in front. I wont make excuses but I didnt pay the meter thinking I would be in and out in less than 5 minutes. Well.. I was in and out in 5 minutes as planned.. only to find a $39 parking ticket attached to my windsheild! I could not believe it.. They must have been hiding in the bushes!!! With that said the cupcakes were a hit with the girls (and my wallet). They are ready to go back. Just be weary of the parking situation as that whole street is paid parking.

Yummy, colorful cupcakes stare at your from behind the glass at Cupcake. These delicious desserts come in all different kinds of cakes and frostings. Alex and I love the frosting here, which is so creamy and just plain ole tasty. The cupcake in itself can be a bit dry, and it's easy to get overloaded on sugar if you try to eat an entire one by yourself. But boy, is it worth it. My favorite is the lemon cupcake, which comes with a lemondrop on top. I haven't been able to get Alex to experiment beyond the chocolate cupcake. Why ruin a good thing that's working?

Cupcake Royale is by far the best place to get your cupcakes. They are incredibly delicious, in fact I might use them for my wedding. Just make sure to buy them day of your event as they can dry up.

I've had Magnolia Bakery cupcakes in NYC and I still think the cupcakes found at Verite (Cupcake Royale) are superior-particularly their white cake with buttercream frosting and coconut. The cake is nice and light and so is the frosting- sometimes there is too much frosting, but let's be honest- is there every too much frosting? The cupcakes and the cupcake wear (great t-shirts for adults and kids) make Verite worth a stop. They also have yummy panini sandwiches and coffee drinks. You can now find a second location on Market st in Ballard!
