I have a confession. I do not absolutely love cupcakes. I do, however, LOVE icing and some of the precious jewel boxes of stores from which the little cakes are sold & for these two reasons, I eat them every once in while!
Here are my favorite places in the cities where I have been living over the past few years.
Hummingbird Bakery, London
Sprinkles, Dallas
Polkadots Cupcake Factory, Austin
Magnolia Bakery, New York
These are"miniature delights" from Hummingbird Bakery in London.They just look so homemade, which I love.
They are bite-sized, perfect for a wedding shower or cocktail party.

Hummingbird is also one of my favorites because some of their treats are covered in edible glitter!!
These next treats are from Sprinkles in Dallas. They'll have these cute peace sign cupcakes through January.
They have locations all over, but this was our go-to cupcake spot in college, and I'll always be loyal to the Preston Center location!
I also love how you can get a cute little card & check off the flavors that you have tried. Fun!
Sprinkles cupcakes are great for parties or events because the cakes themselves look very tailored, and they offer lots of different ways to display their goodies.
And I love the idea of doing these little party favor boxes. Find more at www.sprinkles.com
And now, Polkadots Cupcake Factory in Austin, Texas.

Polkadots Cupcake Factory lives in a precious house that was built in 1908, and while the owner has definitely given it a fresh new look, she retained the original beam ceilings & pretty bathroom tiles. LOVE.
This is Magnolia Bakery in NYC. I'm sure lots of you have been here before, it's a legend!
I mean, the Olsen twins eat these.

And last but not least, Crave, Houston. I haven't lived in Houston, but I LOVE this cupcake shop & I try to go everytime I'm in town!
I know, they look a lot like Sprinkles Cupcakes! & they're just as delish.
And their Holiday Spice Coffee (which they will have through January!) is AMAZING. It's so good, that sometimes I go in just for the coffee, and skip the cupcakes all together!
