My two favorite cupcakes from The Chocolate Dessert Cafe
Lemon Curd & Chocolate with Caramel Cupcakes from The Chocolate Dessert Cafe
The two best cupcake flavors at The Chocolate Dessert Cafe, in my opinion, are the Chocolate with Caramel and Lemon Curd cupcakes. I find them both very yummy. Salt and Caramel is a kicking combo. And I’ll do anything to get my hands on a great homemade lemon curd!
Speaking of The Chocolate. Owner Ange, is getting ready to open up a storefront. But in the meantime she is traveling around the country doing some bakery/cupcake research for her store. I think this is absolutely cool and smart! Check our The Chocolate’s blog for more information about her travels!
Mini Football Cupcakes
and yet another awesome set of football cupcakes! this time in mini form!
Trista of Cupcake Chic made these for the last Superbowl.
They are mini orange cream cupcakes with chocolate footballs.

Carrie Cosmo Cupcake is back at Mini’s Cupcakes in SLC
The Carrie Cosmo Cupcake is back at Mini’s Cupcakes in SLC. Here’s a picture from last year’s version. (i think last year featured orange. this year is lime)
Straight from Mini’s site:
“Back by popular demand, the Carrie Cosmo! We will no longer have the carrot cake on Fridays, we will have our most popular cocktail cupcake. The Carrie Cosmo is a cranberry cupcake soaked in cranberry juice and vodka, frosted with lime frosting topped with a fresh cranberry. Our new seasonal cupcake is a peaches and creme. This is an amazing vanilla cupcake filled with a fresh peach puree topped with fresh cream and more peach puree.”

My Birthday Cupcakes
Remember voting for my birthday cupcake earlier this month?
Cupcake Chic‘s Neapolitan Cupcake won! They were delicious.
I have to tell you…these are my absolute favorite cupcakes in Utah right now. …and have been since I first tried them months ago.
Guest Post: The Stationery Place
editor’s note: Lyndsey (aka Paper Girl) is one of my favorite IRL bloggie buds. We met in college and some might say we rocked the PR world. She has spent the last few years in LA PR-ing it up and is now back in Utah. Lyndsey is nothing less than geniune, fun, spunky, creative and very in-tune with life! I am happy to have her guest posting today and happy to have her part of the utah cupcake scene!
hello, utah loves cupcakes readers!
i was so excited when becky asked me to guest post on ULC. i have loooong been a cupcake lover, and now i’m trying to be a utah lover too as i just moved to utah valley from los angeles in july. so far this beautiful state has opened me with welcome arms [and a few visits to the sweet tooth fairy haven't hurt, either].
my speciality is paper products, as you might notice from my blog the stationery place. for my guest post, i thought i’d highlight a few adorable stationery products that are perfect for all you cupcake fiends out there. they’re almost cute enough to eat!
i’m a total letterpress fan, so if you’re looking for a cute card to buy for someone i highly recommend snow & graham. check out this adorable letterpressed birthday card available from luxe paperie:
if you’re a diy-type person, check out this adorable cupcake hole punch from paper source [my FAVE paper supply store...sadly you'll have to mail-order as they don't have any brick-and-mortar stores in utah]:
paper source even gives a great, simple tutorial for making this cupcake card on their blog:
i’ve also tried my hand at a few cupcake-themed cards of late — you can pick up this card, along with a few of my other designs, at the coffee pod in provo. they sell cupcake chic cupcakes there too — as you may remember from a past ULC post.
this one is super easy to imitate. i picked some pink paper, cut it in the shape of a frosting blob and stuck it to my flat white cardstock with double-sided tape.
next i used embroidery thread to create the cupcake liner — poke holes in the cardstock first so you know where you’re aiming.
then i added the “thanks cupcake” tag and glued the cardstock cover onto a pink folded card. voila! my own cupcake card, perfect to send to that thoughtful friend who brought you cupcakes last week from their fave utah bakery…
feel free to check out my blog anytime for new paper projects and info on the latest designers and paper companies. and enjoy your cupcakes!
Be sure to follow Lyndsey on twitter too! Thanks Lyndsey!
Cupcake Price Sign
This is a good sign to have in your store…
(Cupcake Price Sign at The Sweet Tooth Fairy in Provo, Utah)
you wouldn’t believe how many cupcakeries/bakeries don’t list their prices. not sure if it is on purpose so people just buy… either way. I find it very helpful when prices are listed, especially when specialty flavors cost more.

Holy War Cupcakes - BYU vs UofU Football
She made these for last year’s BYU vs. Utah Football game.
It was her first “holy war” experience…and no greater way to start out than with cupcakes.

More cool cupcakes at Blue Lemon Bistro in Highland
I love the look of these jumbo cupcakes found at the Blue Lemon Bistro in Highland. I particularly want to try the one on the far right that has blue frosting and a candied lemon. Isn’t that so cool?

Cheesecake Cupcakes at The Sweet Tooth Fairy
I swear I say this every time I try a really good new cupcake flavor. But I’ll say it anyway…I think I have a new favorite cupcake flavor at The Sweet Tooth Fairy. It’s the Cheesecake Cupcake!
Like an eager, curious and annoying customer I always call a cupcake shop to see what flavors they have going on. I mean, I usually have a good idea because the Sweet Tooth Fairy occasionally tweets about their flavors that day. And I know that they will always have their staples cause they smartly list them on their site for me to know: Double Fudge, VaNIElla Squared, Strawberry Shortcake, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Cookies N Cream, Toasted Coconut and Red Velvet.
But just because a flavor is offered that day doesn’t mean that they aren’t sold out. So I call. The Sweet Tooth Fairy rotates in like five or so specialty flavors. You’ll usually see these on the middle and bottom shelf. You can see The Sweet Tooth Fairy’s list of flavors on her Web site here. The specialty flavors are pretty cool: Banana, Blueberry, Cotton Candy, Cheesecake, German Chocolate, Grasshopper, Gumball, Lemon, Raspberry Lemonade, Tres Leches, Vanilla Chocolate, Black & White, Carrot, Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate Chip, Cherry, Dulce De Leche, Key Lime, Mocha, Orange, Pina Colada, S’mores and Toffee n’ Chocolate.
Anyway, I’m in love with this flavor that is totally new to me. This is the first time I’ve seen it at The Sweet Tooth Fairy (and I go a lot). I chatted with the Sweet Tooth Fairy and here’s what she told me about her Cheesecake Cupcake:
a) she tried cheesecake for the first time at the age of 18. ever since then she has been a cheesecake freak!
b) the sweet tooth fairy plans to sell “real cheesecake” but until that time she figured they needed to introduce a lil’ bit of cheesecake love to the bake shop (I’m so glad they did!)
c) megan, the sweet tooth fairy start fiddling around with some of her basic recipes, adding cream cheese and what not and VOILA! The frosting used on the cupcake cheesecake isn’t The Sweet Tooth Fairy’s signature frosting it is as megan would say “striaght up cream cheese frosting” without their secret blend of extracts to maintain a truer cheesecake taste.
so there you have it folks. stop reading and start eating this amazing cheesecake cupcake!

Crocheted Cupcake from Made by Ali
Could you imagine coming home to an adorable cupcake like this?
I can. Because I did! The sweet and very cool might I add, Ali of Made by Ali gave this to me a few weeks ago!
I’ve got it sitting on a mini cake stand on my bar. It just so fun!
I can’t decide what I should put in it? Any ideas?
I love the yarn Ali chose for the top. it’s so delicate yet colorful!
Aren’t I a lucky cupcake-loving-girl!

The Cupcase
Hey Friends,
I’m currently in the process of reviewing this awesome product! It really is so fabulous! I’ve been keeping it in my purse for about a week or so just in case I run into a cupcake that I need to bring home! Watch the video! It’s informative and may possibly make you chuckle.
The product is called The Cupcase! It is a food-safe plastic container that stores individual cupcakes for on-the-go use! If you’re like me then you’ll love this product. Every time I stop off at a cupcake bakery I either want to bring one home to my hub or save one for later. The Cupcase is perfect!
Expect a full review that includes photos of the Cupcase in action and Utah Cupcakes in them.
You can purchase the Cupcase on www.vat19.com (caution: vat19 has some way cool products that are very tempting to buy!)
Cupcake Cards by The Stationary Place
I have to start out by saying that I’m a little perterbed. I wrote this post like two weeks ago thought it went up. Turns out it is exists no where! I have no clue where it went. It is not even in a draft!
Anyway…I just have to tell you about these adorable cupcake cards made by my awesome IRL friend Lyndsey of The Stationary Place. Before I get into her cards and paper products I must say Lynds has got know cupcakes… she just moved from LA, home of freaking Sprinkles (which makes me uber jealous)…anyway. she’s getting into the Utah blogging (and cupcake) scene. whoo-rawwwh.
Check this cutie out:
this is my favorite. and i now own it. i just love the hand stitching and colors. i can’t wait to give it to someone.
You are probably wondering where you can get these cupcake cards in utah? You can buy them at The Coffee Pod in Provo. Lynds has conveniently placed them near the register. isn’t this brown and orange one adorable?
so what would you pair with a cute cupcake card? hum…let’s think?
i’m thinking you pair it with CUPCAKES! specifically a cupcake from Cupcake Chic also found at The Coffee Pod. (this post just keeps getting better doesn’t it!)
here’s that cute card again! ahhh i love it! nothing says thanks like a cupcake!
and The Stationary Place offers way more than just cupcake cards. be sure to check out Lyndsey’s blog and etsy site!
