My Favorite Bay Area Cupcakes!

Whenever someone asks me about my favorite Bay Area cupcake, I can't help but get excited!  The Bay Area is a treasure trove of cupcake shops, each offering unique flavors and stunning designs that cater to every occasion. TBH, I am usually looking for cupcakes to display in the packaging but whether I’m using them for business purposes or looking for something cutesy, classic, or themed for a special event, I have a delightful array of options to choose from - all of which excel in both taste and presentation. Here are my top picks (in no particular order) that never fail to impress:

**Miette Patisserie and Confiserie**: Known for its charming aesthetic and delectable flavors, Miette's cupcakes are a feast for the eyes and the palate. Their seasonal offerings are especially delightful!  And if you are a black licorice fan like me, mygosh!  miette.com

**Jenn’s Cupcakes and Parties**:  This home-based / cottage licensed business is perfect for those who want a personal touch. Jenn's cupcakes are beautifully crafted, delicious and always bring a smile to any celebration.

 **Sprinkles Cupcakes**: A pioneer in the cupcake craze (I follow and have learned so much from Sprinkle’s founder, Candace Nelson)! Sprinkles continues to delight me with their rich flavors, and I love their iconic ATM cupcake vending machines.

 Each of these cupcake shops has its own unique flair, making them such a joy to explore. Next time you're in the Bay Area, be sure to stop by one (or all) of these sweet spots. And most importantly, do NOT forget to cart those cupcakes in unique and fun packaging! 😉

Happy cupcaking! 🧁✨
