When did Dade City become trendy? In my book, it was when this cupcake shop went in. The anticipation was killing the cake fans in our family as we waited for the shop to open. Now that it is open, we have had the Chocolate with Caramel, Chocolate with Snickers and Caramel, Birthday Cake with Sprinkles, Chocolate Chip Heaven and Lemon cupcakes. I have yet to try the rest but have heard the Red Velvet and Chocolate Mint ones are great and I need to try the Peanut Butter ones. The cupcake options change every few days. The chocolate ones are my favorite due to my allegiance to chocolate but the Snickers bar with caramel drizzled on top sealed the deal. I am not sure what you would call that type of frosting but it doesn’t matter; I could eat that cupcake every day. These cupcakes are dense, hearty, made from scratch and really good. Some have butter cream frosting, others have cream cheese frosting. They might be considered pricey at $ 2.50 but that’s just about the going rate for cupcakes so it’s a great(and necessary) treat once in a while. Although, I have to admit, now that Dade City has two cupcake stores, I have been making a trip downtown to get cupcakes every weekend.
The store sells tons of other items too — cupcake liners, cards, picture frames, soaps, etc. The best part about the store décor is the diamond checkerboard floor. I just love it.
