Hers are certainly the prettiest of any in Atlanta, made with butter, sugar, spice and all things nice.”

THE best cupcakes in Atlanta are from a small, private baker, Cheezecakes, Gourmet Cupcakes with a Smile Inside. The smile inside is so worth it. They aren’t like these typical sugar overload cupcakes with the plain old cake with doctored icing on top all pretty. These are OMG good! Even if they aren’t voted best in and around, you should give them a try @ http://www.cheezecakes.com

I’ve tried Cheezecakes gourmet cupcakes before and they truly are gourmet. You can only eat one in a sitting; they are that rich and filling. Chocolate is great, but the lemon ones with the warm, semi-soft centers are unbelievably good!! I really don’t think anyone else can do desserts better!! Definitely deserves a try if you haven’t already.

I’ve tried Cheezecakes Gourmet Cupcakes with a Smile and they are unbelievably delicious! They are very rich and flavorful with a crisp outside and an extremely moist inside. You can only eat one at a time; however, your taste buds will defintely crave another! A must try for the cupcake lover.

Buttoncakes Bakery on Decatur– they’re incredible. Lots of flavors, and real buttercream icing. The coconut (Snowball) ones are so good they made my eyes roll back in my head, and the humming bird mini’s are so good you could scarf down a half dozen without pausing for breath! (Don’t ask me how I know this…)

Best Bakery In the South

The best Cupcakes in Metro Atlanta are at Incredible Southern Poundcakes in Stockbridge. Yes they do more than pound cakes. They simply are the best. They bake pound cake cupcakes like no other. They also offer traditional cupcakes as well. They have over 20 different flavors and frostings to chose from. My family loves them all. Always fresh and the taste and presentation is second to none. They bake the famous Rich’s Coconut Cake, something many of us had thought had gone away. I think their version is even better than I remember growing up as a kid in Atlanta.

Everyone in Stockbridge and South of the Airport knows where to go to get the best baked goodies, Incredible Southern Poundcakes. And they ship all over the country. I think they are opening another store in October at Old Towne Morrow at Southlake. They must be doing something right if they are opening another location in this economy. There website is http://www.southernpoundcakes.com

Fit and I love cupcakes!

One of the best kept secrets in Atlanta….Sassy Girl Pies. Check out the website http://www.sassygirlpies.com. The fresh straweberry was my favorite until I tried the next flavor. It is love at first bite….She has a way of making you like every flavor. I promise you she is guaranteed to be the best. Sassy Girl has no limits. I would suggest that you order the assortment of cupcakes then you can have all of your favorites for the office meeting.

Cafe Aroma in Lawrenceville! The cupcakes are made fresh. They are huge, so one is a major diet killer, but WTH! These cupcakes lean more toward the frosting lovers out there — rich, buttercream frosting (the chocolate is to die for). They have several choices: Vanilla Buttercream, Chocolate Buttercream, Red Velvet, Orange Creamsicle, German Chocolate, Lemon Raspberry, and others. They are huge and cost only 2.25 per cupcake. Of course, you will have to spend 20.00 on gas to get there if you are coming from the Midtown, Buckhead or Downtown. They also have wonderful gooey butter cake.

Shel’les Insatiable Delights, hands down! She is a private baker and makes everything by hand. She started out bringing baked goods to her colleagues at Zurich, and it had mushroomed into a nice business for any occasion. Her cupcakes range from the standard to the extreme, pudding-filled delights that are to die for! We needed some for a school party and everyone wanted to get her name and number so that they could order on their own. My favorite is her strawberry cupcakes, and some are so good that they hardly even need frosting on the top.

Have you ever had a cupcake that had you thinking about it weeks later after eating it. Have you ever had a cupcake filled with real creamcheese frosting. Or how about this….Have you ever found yourself swinging your legs and speaking in tongues after you just got through licking your fingers from eating a cupcake. Yes people this is what I am talking about….it’s texture, moistness, filling ..- hell the paper! (I have eaten the paper) Is the BEST!!! http://www.sassygirlpies.com You be the judge!

1st. Piece of Cake: I can live without the decorations, it’s all about the great taste! I get my birthday cakes from there and I love the seasonal flavors that they have. And the best part, there are numerous locations.
2nd. Chocolate Pink: It’s the place where you go if your giving yourself a “special treat” The cupcakes are good, but I think the whole atmosphere of Chocolate Pink is what most people go for.

Matty Cakes & Whole Foods are also great.

To be honest, the best cupcakes are those that I make with my two year old daughter. She gets to do all the fun stuff like craking eggs, shifting flower and pouring it all in the bowl. The look on her face when she gets to lick a beater is priceless.

Cupcakes used to be a “treat” made with mom. Let’s get back to that in our own homes a bit more shall we.

If I do have to purchase any cakes or cupcakes, Piece of Cake is where I always go. Even if I do gain a pound eating on small slice. :-0

It is family owned and operated and they are wonderful to work with for wedding cakes, cupcakes, chocolate strawberries,etc. Oh and they also have a great food menu for lunch. I like to go have lunch and then a cupcake for dessert. My favorite is the strawberry. YUMMY – I get six at a time to take home for my family.

The biggest secret is: SWEET ‘N’ SINFUL in Avondale Estates on College Ave. (East of Decatur).
OMG, these are decadent little morsels of goodness! They have the standard flavors plus varying creative concoctions, depending on seasons, and the chef’s creativity. I think the bulk of their business is wedding cakes, but we are talking serious skilled pastry chefs here, and the cupcakes are a great way to get a taste of their talent in a smaller package (or a few small packages — who can eat just one?) http://www.sweetnsinful.com

CamiCakes are sickeningly sweet, bordering on cloying, as are most of the cupcakes at other places. Chocolate Pink is probably the best of the lot.

No doubt, though, the over-sweetened goo is popular with the oversized society we have these days.

The Atlanta Cupcake Factory. To “RED” and “Gabrielle’s on Whitlock Ave in Marietta,” as soon as you said she was Paula Deen’s cousin I was turned off. Paula Deen has oversaturated the food market. She was great in the beginning when she kept herself real on her shows, but that didn’t last long. Now, she is sickening silly. Most of us can’t stand to watch her.

You have to try the “Tin Cups” at Incredible Southern Poundcakes in Stockbridge, GA. They are actually made from an old-fashioned pound cake recipe; they come in a variety of flavors and frostings. They can be decorated beautifully for various occasions–weddings, showers, baby showers, tiers, etc. They hold up well because they are actually mini poundcakes. You must try these and all the other goodies at the Stockbridge location. http://www.southernpoundcakes.com

Okay, I’m a taster, not a baker. So here’s a “real review”: Sweet Pocket cupcakes. Lenny is the owner adn I met her when i bought my first cupcake at a coop she belonged to. She now has two stores — and if you are going nuts gearing up for a party etc, she will deliver. Plus she makes the cutest little “party flags” that said, I ask for my flags to be double sided, otherwise you get the sweet pockets logo on the other side (sorry Lenny but its cuter with graphics on both sides!). Her cupcakes are the best and she is a great person. My favorites are Red Velvet, Oreo, Starlight and Lemon Sunshine.

My co-workers and I decided to have a Cupcake Humpday Wednesday about a week ago. Kandice at The Cake House and More in Stockbridge baked us an assortment of beautifully decorated and extremely tasty cupcakes. There was an office full of women who were on serious cupcake overload!

Another reason The Cake House and More is the best is because unlike some of these other places, you can refrigerate the cakes, take them out a couple of days later, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds, and they taste as though they came straight out of the oven.

The smell was out of this world. The desserts looked so delicious that my mouth began to water. This non-sweets eating girl left with 2 german chocolate cupcakes, a slice of italian cream cheese cake, a slice of key lime and red velvet cake, a slice of a pumpkin roll filled with some kind of delicious filling, and a mini pound cake – everything BUT a cookie. Please believe me, it was all very delicious. I’m looking forward to furture visits. http://www.thecakehouseandmore.com

So, how does this “Best of the Big A” works? Please don’t tell me the winner is selected based on the comments, because you know people are posting and plugging their own business over and over and over with different screen names, lol. Tell me someone @AJC narrow the results down and ACTUALLY visit the location and ACTUALLY sample the products mentioned before selecting a winner and calling it the “best” or is it really not that serious:-)

if you live in the downtown / midtown area. But what about those of us who live south of the city?

The Cake House & More is the spot. Why travel 20 miles into city traffic for baked goods that are going to dry out before you get back home?

Debbie & her staff make cupcakes that are truly TO DIE FOR! They can be refridgerated and eaten at a later time without you having to worry about breaking a tooth.

If you live South of I-20, I implore you to get your sweet fix at The Cake House and More. And get some good Southern hospitality, too!

I used to think that my mother made the best red velvet cake / cupcakes this side of the Mason Dixon line.

The Cake House and More…red velvet, key lime, red velvet-key lime, caramel, strawberry, and pink lemonade (my favorite).

Sorry mom. I love you to death. But you have been challenged and dethroned!

The most moist cupcakes ever!

The Cake House and More off of N. Henry Blvd in Stockbridge.

If anyone lives on that side of town & have a birthday, wedding, anniversary or any other celebration coming up soon (they make BEAUTIFUL cakes), then I suggest you contact Debbie, Kemi, & Kandice to handle your cake.

Fantastic good and superb service. And they deliver, too!

Cake House and More...yep!

I concur with the others. The Cake House and more in Stockbridge is the absolute BEST.

Key lime cupcakes…OMG!

Those other places like Highland, Cami Cakes, Maddie Cakes, etc. are cool but they are pricey. I shouldn’t have to pay $3-$4 for a miniature cupcake. If I’m going to pay that much, then I better get one of good quality & quantity.

Thank goodness for Debbie Pugh. She makes cupcakes that you have to eat with a fork, and serves them up with a smile!

Stop wasting gas & money driving all the way into the city just for some “brand name” expensive cupcakes. Remember, the best is always just around the corner from you.

SWEET N’ SINFUL!!!!!!!!

I was never a big cake person growing up! I have worked at many doctors offices and drug reps would bring cakes from Piece of Cake so I started to like cakes more because, lets face it, they know how to make a cake. Then I went to Sweet n’ Sinful and I will never go any where else!!!!

My friends and I got some from there and we went and ate them in the car in the parking lot!! We were too excited and couldn’t wait to eat them! They have over 40 flavors that are AMAZING and the frosting is to die for!!! They also do wedding cakes, birthday cakes, grooms cakes, etc. The pastry chefs can make your cake look like anything!!! They are sooooo extremely talented! They not only look amazing, but they taste UNBELIEVABLE!

Darn it! All this talk about it now I’m gonna have to drive down there and get some!

By far, the best cupcakes are from Sweet Pockets. Every flavour is great–I’ve tried them all–but banana with peanut butter frosting is to die for! They are baked from scratch and fresh daily, and, unlike some bakers, the owner knows how to incorporate enough air into the real buttercream so that the big swirl on top of the cake is light and does not overpower the cake.

How rude

September 14th, 2009

To Tye:

How very rude of you to say that someone sucks, especially if you have never met them or even visited their business. The purpose of this blog is to nomimate who one thinks has the best cupcakes. It is not a forum to downgrade someone’s business & talents.

You are so “Kanye West” right now.

In any event, kudos to Debbie and The cake House and More. I’ve heard that you have gotten new business as a result of this blog. CONGRATS!

THE best cupcakes in Atlanta are far and away by Cupcake Dreams! Not only do they taste delicious, but they more than satisfy the eye as well. Cupcake Dreams is a private baker who cares for your good times as well as your health. These treats are all natural, using no animal products, but your family and friends will never know. I really recommend this company and its owner, Shannon – she is very helpful and accommodating! http://www.cupcake-dreams.com
