Since several\u00a0Cupcake Bakeries\u00a0have\u00a0popped up around town, I decided to conduct\u00a0a taste comparison of the 3 closest to me — Dolcissiomo, Suzie Cakes and Mrs. Beasley.\u00a0 I tried a small variety from each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0 Dolcissiomo Cupcakes <\/strong>were my overall favorite.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve tried almost all\u00a0the Cupcakes there.\u00a0 They\u00a0offer a lot of great flavors and look aesthetically best. http:\/\/www.dolcissimobakeshop.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Lemon Blueberry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Orange Dreamsicle\u00a0& Coconut Snowball<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiramisu\u00a0& Lemonade<\/strong><\/p>\n

(2)\u00a0 Suzie Cakes Cupcakes <\/strong>were very moist and appeared to have a filling, at least the two I tried\u00a0did.\u00a0 You can see it in the pictures.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.susiecakesla.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Lemon and Vanilla<\/strong><\/p>\n

(3)\u00a0 Mrs. Beasley’s Cupcakes <\/strong>have\u00a0the most frosting by far, so if you’re into that,\u00a0they’re definitely the\u00a0Cupcakes for you.\u00a0http:\/\/www.mrsbeasleys.com\/Cupcakes.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n

Orange and\u00a0Mini Blueberry<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cupcakes-chipotle-008.JPG\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"cupcakes-chipotle-006.JPG\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Grand Prize\u00a0flavor winner was\u00a0Dolcissiomo’s Orange Dreamsicle.\u00a0 It may be the best Orange flavored Cake I’ve ever had.\u00a0 I’m trying\u00a0to confirm that opinion, but it’s\u00a0only sold on Tuesdays.\u00a0 I’ll report about more locations as I try them.<\/p>\n

(POST UPDATE 08\/20\/08: It appears that Dolcissimo Cupcakes just moved or closed. This post will be further updated when that information is known)<\/strong><\/p>\n
