I ordered the mini-cupcakes ($5.00) to get a taste of all of the flavors.

Blue Cupcake
Thank you again to Julie! If you visit Blue Cupcake one Thursday in the future, be sure to get there early because it’s a guarantee that she’ll sell out before closing time!
Buttercake Bakery
I wholeheartedly agree with this mantra.
Although my eyes were drawn immediately to the bright pink sugar cookie ($1.50), I decided, instead, to focus on another part of the display case.
Billy’s Bakery (NYC)
One night during my and J’s visit, the delivery was a box of cupcakes from Billy’s Bakery, a name which was new to me as an Angeleno.
Upon opening the box, we all oooh-ed and aaah-ed over how perfectly each cupcake was frosted and how positively pillowy the frosting appeared. Just look at ’em!
As a cupcake connoisseur and red velvet fanatic, I was unsure of what to expect from Billy’s red velvet cupcake–the first flavor we sampled. There seemed to be a lot of frosting on that little cupcake…How would it compare to those from Sprinkles?…
As my teeth sunk first through the sweet, whipped frosting and then the incredibly light and airy cake, all thoughts floated from my mind and Billy’s Bakery became my new gold standard for cupcakes.
There was universal agreement throughout the house that these were the lightest cupcakes that had ever graced our palates–they simply crumbled in your mouth. Furthermore, the flavors were crisp, clean and pure; they all tasted like my dream version of each flavor. *Sigh* From here on out, all cupcakes will only stir a longing for…Billy’s Bakery.

Free Cupcake Day at Sprinkles!
As cliche as it may be, Sprinkles Cupcakes are among my favorite cupcakes in Los Angeles.
Don’t you just love when you get things for free for which you would have gladly paid money? I do!
