Cupcake Trends: Chandeliers in Cupcake Shops

Ever since I started this blog I’ve noticed that many, okay…most…cupcake shops have some sort of chandelier in their store. Have you noticed? I mean, why not? You have to have some sort of lighting and a way to make your shop your own…why not use a chandelier?

Take a peek at some cool chandeliers and cupcake shop decor in Utah’s cupcake bakeries.

Here’s what the chandelier looks like in focus.

Chandeliers at Flour Girls & Dough Boys Artisan Bakery & Cafe - American Fork, Utah

It was love at first sight for me when it came to these unique chandeliers inside Flour Girls and Dough Boys bakery in American Fork, Utah.

Here’s another shot!

P.S. I just LOVE the colors in here!

Pretty Pink Wall Artwork- So Cupcake (Salt Lake City)

Here’s a pretty in pink decorated chandelier in So Cupcake (SLC, Utah).

Chandelier - Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop (Salt Lake City, Utah)

Okay, these little glittered birds on the chandeliers at Mrs. Baker’s Pastry Shop (SLC, Utah) are cool. If you haven’t been inside Mrs. Backer’s yet, it’s a Utah-must! It’s so cute, cluttered with pretties and wonderful!

Here’s a closeup of a birdie.

Dear Lizze - where you pay (Highland, Utah)

You can’t see this chandelier very well inside of Dear Lizzie (Highland, Utah) but it’s there.

Primrose Retreat - Spanish Fork Utah

I’m not quite sure what Babycakes Utah looks like currently. But this is where I used to eat cupcakes when they had their bistro and cupcakery inside of Primrose Retreat. I think this area may now be a reception center. Either way, there is a chandelier.

Next time you pass through or stay in Saint George, Utah please PLEASE visit Twenty Five Main Cafe and Cake Parlor. I went there a few months ago and just loved it! (Dude, I need to give you guys my review…I’m so late on this!) I love the inside of their cafe and bakery!

Here’s a closer look at their chandeliers:

Mini’s Cupcakes in Salt Lake City (Utah’s first cupcakery) has some dang cool chandeliers. Take a look.

I think this one is on their recent extension they call the Retro Cafe. LOVE IT!

Alright, that’s all I have for now. I’ll keep searching my photos! If you know of any other cupcake bakeries in Utah that have chandeliers and I’ve left them out, let me know in the comments section!

Happy Monday!

P.S. Remember it’s the Utah Food Blogger’s Bake Sale this Saturday! I’ll be posting more about the sale midweek! Until then, check out all the details here!

Primrose Retreat/Babycakes Cupcakery: Buttercream (Vanilla) Cupcake

I don’t remember much about this vanilla cupcake from Primrose Retreat’s Babycakes Cupcakery.

I know it is called the buttercream.

Buttercream Cupcake from  Babycakes in Primrose Retreat - Spanish Fork Utah

I know it is their best seller.

Babycakes Cupcakes in Primrose Retreat - Spanish Fork Utah

They have it in various shades…but the pink sells the most!

i know that it is pretty.

but i don’t remember what it tastes like and it has been FOREVER since I’ve visited this place. It’s just hard for me to get down to Spanish Fork Canyon. I really just need to schedule a massage there or something. …cause they are a spa you know! Doesn’t a couples package for v-day and a cupcake sound nice?

Have you had this cupcake?
