Photo Tour: Diva’s Cupcakes & Coffee
I’m a big fan of Diva’s Cupcakes & Coffee!
Don’t you just love their logo and artwork?
You’ve heard me say this before…if you go get the following cupcakes 1) Lemon 2)Red Velvet 3) Orange Chocolate.
Besides loving their logo, artwork and actual cupcakes, I think their actual coffee shop is one of a kind. Let’s take a mini photo tour!
The view from across the street.
The entrance door. Doesn’t this photo just say “Utah Winter!”
Diva’s is in a really unique building–it is split up into three parts. The first part being like a traditional coffee shop with tables, cashier counter and our favorite…cupcakes! I wish I would have taken a picture of their seating…
Then you walk through a little hallway into their library section. Wouldn’t you just LOVE to sit and read a book while eating a cupcake!
This room is very special too! Each Tuesday Diva’s hosts a reading club for kids. Here’s the details as I remember.
Diva’s Kid’s Reading Club
Every Tuesday @ 3:30 p.m.
A book will be read and each child get’s to frost their own cupcake!
Now how cute is that?
Now, on to my favorite room in the shop.
This is the green room, I believe they called it. Imagine this: warmth of a green house, the sound of running water and eating cupcakes! Ahhh! Outside is a gorgeous patio with an amazing tree. I can’t wait to snap some pictures this spring!
Diva’s is seriously a fun place.
They’ve got their site up, but it’s still under construction. I’m hoping to see it completed soon…heaven knows we are dying to see a full list of flavors, pricing and a blog (cross your fingers) to keep us up to date on all their cool happenings.
Here’s the contact info:

THE ELVIS by SugarRush
As I was browsing SugarRush’s Web site and photo gallery I found this goodie!

Check out what’s in it: fresh banana cake topped with peanut butter frosting and a chocolate drizzle.

Could getting a cupcake be any more convenient than at a drive-thru?
It’s quick. No pre-order. And you stay in your car!
You can get Cupcake Chic’s cupcakes at the Coffee Pod drive-thru!
The Coffee Pod is quickly becoming one of my favorite stops in Utah County.
It’s hip, clean and just a cool atmosphere.

Happy Weekend!
Non-edible cupcake items in cupcakeries
Most cupcakeries have a little boutiquey feel going on, which I love.
You’ll find everything from t-shirts to greeting cards to cupcake lip gloss as seen below at So Cupcake.
What non-edible items do you think every cupcakery should have? What are your favorites to purchase?

New Bakery in Lehi Utah – THE CHOCOLATE
Um yeah!
I recently discovered THE CHOCOLATE: A Dessert Bakery in Lehi.
Immediately I was intregued by the name. Chocolate, ey? Then after falling in love with the brown and olive color combination with simple lines and circles I was hooked. Then I browsed through THE CHOCOLATE’s Web site, which I might add, is probably the one of the better bakery/cupcakery sites out there. It’s chocked full of menu with clear pricing, catering info, contact links, photo gallery and a freakin FAQ.
Gosh, I hadn’t even tried the cupcakes yet!
But wait, it gets better. I discover that Ange, the owner, uses local and um..imports her chocolate from Switzerland!
This isn’t the last you’ll hear of THE CHOCOLATE…because I had the pleasure of trying her cupcakes today! So more to come.
In the meantime, browse the site, add her blog to your feed and try her goodies for yourself!
FYI: THE CHOCOLATE opened it’s doors mid November and is set to open a store front early this year!

Dippidee: A Place of Sweet Surprises

It’s been way too long since my first trip there but I liked it and shall return.
