Cupcake

“They didn’t have fancy, piped frosting flowers but they had the best cupcakes.”

“We capped off the pizza with some cupcakes, and those were really great. I think my favorite was the salted butterscotch caramel, and it tasted like the cupcake had a cookie on top. Really great!”

“By the way bakery has multiple locations and have great cupcakes and other noshes”

“The desserts are overlooked as well - the complimentary birthday cupcake they serve was legitimately one of the best things I've had in the past year.”

“Billy's Bakery makes some great cupcakes.”

“Tea and Sympathy has a sticky toffee cupcake and it is delicious”
