Hi I was browsing around for cupcakes and happened upon this site. What are those cupcakes in the image at the top of the page? Some of them look too delicious for words!
Also being new to the Seattle area, what’s your thoughts on the best cupcake in Seattle?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi, Chris
The cupcakes at the top of the page are from Yellow Leaf in Belltown. Yellow Leaf and Trophy are the 2 best. Trophy is more kid friendly, very sweet and traditional icing, but their cake can be a little drier. Yellow Leaf has the BEST cake. Their icing is Italian Meringue buttercream which can be a little buttery for some people. The texture is REALLY silky. Yellow Leaf’s flavors tend to be a bit more inventive: Wasabi, Green Tea, Tomato Soup, etc.
Both places are worth a bit of a drive.
