They were recently featured in Daily Candy's weekend guide. Their cupcakes are made-to-order which means they are always fresh. They don't have a brick-and-mortar shop, but they do offer free delivery. I've tried several flavors of theirs and the strawberry is delicious- made with fresh strawberries. The guava, however, has been my absolute favorite. The icing melts in your mouth and is not repugnant at all. Try them out!

They are no big deal, the cake is dry and more muffin-like than cupcake. 14 something dollars not well spent!

I went to their grand opening on Friday and was not able to try any of the cupcakes because they did not have any out when I went, but I went this week and I tried the Vanilla Elegance, the Romeo and Juliet and their Chocolate Decadence. The cake on all three of them were hard. Maybe theyr'e working out some kinks so I'm going to try them again in a couple of months.

I don't think the host knew any of the people who signed up. He did, however, limit the event to 10 people since he was hosting it at his private home. You might want to also try <a href="http://www.localwineevents.com" rel="nofollow">localwineevents.com</a> for calendar listings, though theirs focus more on wine and spirits tastings.

I loved the tasting. I think we should pick another food item and do another tasting! Anyway, my favorites were 2 Girls and a Cupcake (Chic Flic and Oye Como Va) and Cupcakes Nouveau (chocolate with vanilla buttercream). I thought Cupcakes Nouveau's cupcakes were both delicious AND pretty, a somewhat difficult balance. Buttercream came in at a very close 3rd place. I didn't even bother trying Misha's because I already know how much I like her cupcakes! Hi! I loved the tasting. I think we should pick another food item and do another tasting!

What an event. Miami has needed a few good cupcake shops. One of the search terms that I often see linked to my blog is "miami cupcake," so the demand is definitely out there. Thanks for your roundup and reviews. Wow! What an event. Miami has needed a few good cupcake shops.
