Good Things Houston - Cupcakes

I love me a good cupcake!! (See my Mothers Day post) Last year for my birthday I got a dozen different cupcakes instead of a birthday cake. I have my favorite bakery - Sugarbaby's on Shepherd just north of 59. I could eat one of their Black Forest cupcakes every day and not get sick of them. The cherry filling is nice and tart and there is a little ring of sweet vanilla buttercream frosting around the edge. Not too much, just enough. They are perfect! I could go through their whole menu and comment on the virtues of each flavor. 

There's a new cupcake joint in town though that the rest of the fam likes. Crave Cupcakes, right off of Post Oak and the 610 loop.  I like the cake part, but it crumbles and their frosting is too sweet and not light like Sugarbaby's. They do have mint chocolate though, so I will continue to deign to go there - until Sugarbaby's comes out with their own chocolate mint . . .  mmmmmm . . . cupcakes. . .
