Dear One Sweet Slice, I Love You.

THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW THINGS GOING ON AT ONE SWEET SLICE!

One Sweet Slice now offers coffee, sugar cookies, whoopie pies, and macaroons! Everything that I have tried here has been fabulous. My mother and I went in today to try the coffee, and it was good! I put the right amount of creamer and sugar in, and it tasted amazing. We tried the regular coffee and the decaf, I would recommend both! We also had the opportunity to try their sugar cookies. Ever since I was young I have hated sugar cookies. They are over done and are always so bland! I decided to open my mind and gave One Sweet Slice's sugar cookie a chance. I am so glad that I did!!! Instead of the old boring standard sugar cookie frosting, One Sweet Slice used cream cheese frosting! I'm a sucker for cream cheese frosting, and they were very generous with it. They make it so hard to stay away!! The owners and employees at One Sweet Slice are always so nice and generous, it only makes me love it there more! I cannot wait for my birthday and college graduation so that I can devour a full on One Sweet Slice cake.

Sweet Tooth Fairy's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcake

I LOVE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP CUPCAKES.

Sweet Tooth Fairy changes a few of their flavors every month. One of Novembers flavors is pumpkin chocolate chip. I'll eat anything pumpkin chocolate chip, so I was excited when I saw that it was on STF'S monthly flavor list. When the time came to take the cupcake out of the liner, most of the chocolate chips fell out. I bit into the cupcake and it was doughy and undercooked. The frosting had NO flavor, and there was only one chocolate chip left in the cake. I don't know if I got one from a bad batch, or if Sweet Tooth Fairy doesn't know how to properly make pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes. I am about to give up on them.

Diva's

THIS WASN'T MY FIRST TRIP TO DIVA'S.

My first trip to Diva's cupcakes was years ago, so I don't remember much about my order. I do know that I ordered their chocolate peanut butter cupcake, and that I wasn't even slightly impressed. A friend of mine suggested that I try it one more time, so I went back. I ordered the chocolate cupcake with caramel frosting, and wasn't pleased. The cupcake itself was OK, but the frosting had NO flavor. Diva's food looks like it would taste good, but leave the cupcakes to the professionals.

Dippidee's Little Devil cupcake

I LOVE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES.

I have a problem eating non-chocolate cupcakes. There is no flavor that could EVER compare to chocolate. I decided to try Dippidee's "Little Devil" cupcake because it was one of the only chocolate based flavors that they offered. The frosting looked good, and it didn't seem like there would be much cream. The cake itself has no flavor, and the frosting was way too sweet. If I say something is too sweet, there is probably enough sugar in it to kill a small horse. Inside the cupcake is a cream overload, which made it disgusting. I really need to learn my lesson and stop going to Dippidee, or just stick to the pumpkin cupcake.

Dippidee's Pumpkin Cupcake

I ADORE PUMPKIN FLAVORED THINGS.

My parents were at Dippidee the other night, and called me to ask if I wanted a cupcake. I've given Dippidee bad reviews in the past, and was upset that my parents would even ask me if I wanted one. I can never turn down a cupcake, so I asked what flavors were available. I decided to give the pumpkin cupcake a chance, and I am glad that I did. This cupcake was seriously probably one of the best pumpkin flavored things that I have ever had. The cream cheese frosting was perfect, and the pumpkin flavored cupcake had a pumpkin pie filling in the middle! I was in heaven while eating this cupcake. I guess Dippidee is a hit-and-miss kind of bakery.

Sweet Tooth Fairy's Nutella Crepe

THIS CUPCAKE IS AMAZING.

Sweet Tooth Fairy did an amazing job on their Nutella crepe cupcake. I've had the Nutella crepes from IHOP and Village Inn, so when I heard that Sweet Tooth Fairy was working on a cupcake version I was excited but a little skeptical. It sounds amazing, but seems like it could be a hard flavor to duplicate. Sweet Tooth Fairy nailed the flavor perfectly. I thought I was really eating a Nutella crepe from IHOP. It was shocking how much this tasted like a real crepe. I picked the strawberries off the top, and it had a barvarian cream in the middle. I have to say that I will be sad to see October end, since this flavor is only around for the month.

One Sweet Slice's Brownies.

I KNOW THEY AREN'T CUPCAKES,

But they taste amazing! One Sweet Slice has started to offer brownies, cakepops, and macaroons. I'm a huge fan of the brownies and cakepops (I haven't tried the macaroons). Today I tried their chocolate brownie. I would normally never stray from buying a cupcake, but my dad tried one and recommended it. I'm glad I tried it.

Sugar Daisy Bakery

I THOUGHT I'D GIVE SUGAR DAISY ONE MORE CHANCE.

I've been to Sugar Daisy before, and the cupcake was...ok. What brought me back to Sugar Daisy is their AMAZING chocolate peanut butter bars. Those things are heavenly. I walked into the store and was disappointed when the woman at the counter said that they had just ran out. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I ordered a red velvet cupcake. It was so pretty I couldn't resist. I bit into it and was disgusted. The cupcake was so dry most of it ended up on my pants. The frosting was ok, but was nothing compared to One Sweet Slice's amazing red velvet cupcake. The only way I will come back to Sugar Daisy is for their chocolate peanut butter bars.



Swirly Girls Bakery

FROM WHAT I SAW ON YELP, I THOUGHT SWIRLY GIRLS WOULD BE A GOOD BAKERY.

I was wrong. I went to Swirly Girls in Daybreak's SodaRow after reading good reviews on Yelp, teaching me a lesson never to trust what other people say. I walked in to their cute little shop, but the moment I saw the cupcakes I was disappointed. I could tell that the frosting was going to be light, when I like my frosting dense. But I decided to get one anyways. I ordered a simple chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and a mini Milky Way on top. The cupcake has NO flavor and the frosting tasted incredibly cheap. The only part that tasted good was the mini Milky Way on top. I will not be back to Swirly Girls. It tastes like the owner of Swirly Girls stops at the Harmon's in The District every morning and buys some cupcakes to sell at Swirly Girls. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Sweet Tooth Fairy let me down.

Sweet Tooth Fairy kind of let me down.

I am a huge fan of S'mores cupcakes, so when I saw that Sweet Tooth Fairy had a S'mores cupcake I didn't think anything of paying extra for it. I thought it looked delicious. I bit into the cupcake and was immediately disappointed. The frosting tasted NOTHING like Gram cracker, and the marshmallow filling inside was hot and melted. Most of the filling ended up on my chin instead of in my mouth. Normally Sweet Tooth Fairy charges about $2.50 for a cupcake, but this one was $3.00.


One Sweet Slice's Grand Opening

I attended One Sweet Slice's grand opening.

It was awesome. One Sweet Slice had their grand opening not too long ago, and I was invited! They had a deal going where if you bought a half dozen you recieved a gift bag. Being the fan that I am, I bought the half dozen and recieved my gift bag. Inside there was cupcake plates, cooking tools, and BEST OF ALL, a cupcake in a jar! This was a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of chocolate frosting, more cake, more frosting, and caramel on top! It was AMAZING!!! I would gladly pay $5-$6 for one of those!

Don't these look amazing?



New Sweet Tooth Monthly Flavors

THE SWEETH TOOTH FAIRY HAS NEW MONTHLY FLAVORS!

The Sweet Tooth Fairy has new monthly flavors! I am pretty excited to try the Nutella cupcake, even though I think it will be hard to out-do One Sweet Slice's Nutella cupcake.




HALLOWEEN!

HALLOWEEN IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!

I've always loved Halloween and Halloween themed items. So of course I'm madly in love with One Sweet Slice's new Halloween themed sweets!

Here is the eyeball cake pop! 

Here is the ghost cake pop! It was yummy!


The pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake tastes SO GOOD!


The Frankenstein cakepop tasted really good! I loved that it was chocolate.


One Sweet Slice has more Halloween items, and I plan on trying them all!

Some of my favorite flavors from One Sweet Slice.

I obsess over One Sweet Slice constantly.

One Sweet Slice is truly the best cupcake shop in the state of Utah. I'm constantly checking their Twitter seeing if they've tweeted the daily flavor! I'm there pretty much every Tuesday and Thursday!

My new obsession is their S'mores and Nutella cupcakes. If they were to have both flavors at the same time, I think my head would explode!

S'mores Cupcake

Nutella Cupcake

Today's daily flavor was Mexican Hot Chocolate, and I fell in love with it! The frosting had spices in it, and the cake was really good!

The Chocolate Chip Cookie From The Sweet Tooth Fairy

This Cupcake Is Odd.

This cupcake has a sweet cream frosting, and a vanilla cake. In the center of this cupcake there is a cookie! The cookie part is amazing, but the rest of it wasn't very good. I'm not a fan of vanilla anything, so I had my mom try it and she loved it.

I guess it just depends on taste.

Espresso Mocha Cupcake From The Sweet Tooth Fairy

The Espresso Mocha Cupcake is like Starbucks in a cupcake.

The Espresso Mocha Cupcake from The Sweet Tooth Fairy is a coffee explosion in your mouth. The cake part is just chocolate, but the frosting is an amazing mocha flavor. On top of the frosting is two chocolate covered  espresso beans.I have a weakness for chocolate covered espresso beans, so this cupcake is going to be addicting. The Espresso Mocha Cupcake is September's monthly flavor from The Sweet Tooth Fairy.  That means that this cupcake will disappear come October, and that I will be at The Sweet Tooth Fairy constantly trying to get my fill of these!

I highly recommend these to any coffee fan!

Sweet Cake Bakery

I was really excited to try Sweet Cake Bakery.

I assumed that a bakery would offer a lot  of  different flavors. I was wrong. I walked into Sweet Cake Bakery and one two different kinds of cupcakes were available that day. There was a dark chocolate cupcake, and a chocolate with a chocolate chip frosting. I despise dark chocolate, so I went with the chocolate chip frosted one. The first bite was an incredible let down. It had absolutely no taste to it. The texture was repulsive. Luckily my mom got a chocolate shortbread bar, and was willing to share. This chocolate shortbread bar was absolutely amazing, it blew my mind!

I had to force myself to finish this cupcake.

City Cakes Vegan Bakery/Cafe

I love anything vegan.

City Cakes is a vegan bakery/cafe. Their sandwiches and peanut butter chocolate bars are TO DIE FOR.  Everything that they make is vegan, and a few of their items are gluten free! They even offer vegan dog treats. This visit I decided to resist my normal order of a sandwich and a gluten free chocolate peanut butter bar, and go for a chocolate cupcake. What a mistake. This cupcake was dry, and incredibly hard to cut with my fork. The "frosting" barely even resembled frosting. I think that this cupcake could have been really good, but it had sat out for too long. The vegan chocolate mocha cookie that my mom ordered was old as well.

I love vegan food, but this cupcake didn't satisfy me.

Dippidee Bakery

Dippidee made my graduation cake!

My mom loves Dippidee's cupcakes, but I'm not a huge fan. I'll eat them, but I probably won't enjoy it. Their cake decorating skills are pretty amazing though. I was on their website and found that they had done a Misfits wedding cake. I hadn't graduated high school yet, so I wanted that cake for my graduation cake.
When the time to graduate came, Dippidee made me an amazing cake!

It was a chocolate cake with a mocha filling. Not very good, but looked cool!
(I know the picture looks like shit, I photo shopped my name out)

(M)adam & (St)eve's Erotic Bakery

 I like my cupcakes naughty.

(M)adam & (St)eve's Erotic bakery is the perfect bakery to fill your naughty needs! Their cake catalogs are hilarious, and I hope that they will make my college graduation cake! But unfortunately, naughty doesn't always equal delicious. :(
The cupcake itself made me smile, but the taste made me frown. The cake part was ok, but the frosting tasted cheap like it was from a grocery store and the chocolate that made up the penis was low quality.

All in all, if you want a laugh go to Madam and Steve's



Mini's Cupcakes.

When Mini's Cupcakes says "Mini" they mean it.

Mini's cupcakes are adorably small. Their cupcakes are always beautiful and delicious. It takes about 2 bites to finish one, but those 2 bites are heavenly. Leslie's shop is adorable, and she recently published a Mini's Cupcakes cook book! I have yet to bake anything from it though.
I've tried The Diva, Chocoholic, Black & White, Twisted Sister, and the coffee one. I loved every flavor that I tried! 
 The Diva is the best one that they offer!





The Sweet Tooth Fairy

I Love The Sweet Tooth Fairy.

Sweet Tooth Fairy was the 1st cupcake shop that I'd ever been to! Their first location was brand new at the time. I bought their peanut butter chocolate cupcake and was impressed, but stopped going for a while. They started expanding, and are now a very popular cupcake chain in Utah. Their cakebites are amazing, and have been recognized nationally. I still love their cupcakes, and can't wait until they bring back their churro cupcake!

The Ice Cream Sundae cupcake from The Sweet Tooth Fairy is AMAZING.

One Sweet Slice

One Sweet Slice is probably my favorite shop in Utah.

I discovered them by accident. My mom and I were at a craft store near by and I saw the word CUPCAKES on their sign. I immediately started begging my mom to take me over there. She refused saying "No one will ever be better than Sweet Tooth Fairy, why try?" I continued to bug her until she gave in. 
We walked into One Sweet Slice and I was amazed! Their selection was amazing, and the decor was adorable. I've tried most of their chocolate based flavors, and I love each and every one of them that I've tried.
The Peanut butter Chocolate Swirl flavor is the best!
