| The Cupcakery: Full Review | ||||||||||||
|
I'm going to make this review simple: go here and you can have a so-moist it almost dissolves in your mouth vanilla cupcake stuffed with a rich chocolate truffle center topped with vanilla and chocolate buttercream frosting. They call it "Oh My Gosh, Ganache!"
Do you really need to know anything more? Okay, fine. The Cupcakery is a little slice of heaven in Las Vegas located on the south side of town not too far away from Green Valley Ranch Resort. As the name would imply, the serve cupcakes and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else is needed except for maybe a place to actually sit and enjoy them so you don't have to fight over them in the car on the way home. At any given time they offer a dozen or more varieties, the Ganache above being my hands down favorite. But being the intrepid type, I sampled a few (okay almost all) of the other offerings, purely so I could report back to you on my findings. Yes, as I was stuffing cupcake after cupcake down my gullet, I was only thinking of you. I'm a giver. The Boston Dream is a Boston cream pie done in cupcake form with yellow cake, Bavarian cream, and chocolate ganache icing; Bugsy is their carrot cake with cream cheese frosting; Grasshopper gives you a so-rich it makes your mouth tingle chocolate cake topped with chocolate mint buttercream; the Southern Belle is basically a red velvet cake in cup form; the Good Morning is sort of a cinnamon roll disguised as a cupcake… the list goes on and on through mocha and peanut butter and coconut and chocolate and more chocolate… I think I need to sit down. Each cupcake is going to run you $2.25, which is insanely pricey but absolutely, totally worth it and actually cheaper than similar cupcake places I know of in Los Angeles. You can save yourself a couple of bucks by ordering a dozen, which will take $25 out of your wallet. The store is located on Eastern Avenue about a mile south of Interstate 215. From The Strip, take any of the east-west roads like Tropicana or Flamingo, get on I-15 south, take it to I-215 east toward Henderson, exit Eastern, and turn right. It'll be on your left at the corner of Silverado Ranch Road. It is worth the drive, trust me.
