Mini's Cupcakes, Salt Lake City

You'd be remiss if you skipped over Mini's Cupcakes due to their size alone. These miniature cupcakes were created by Leslie Fiet, who, after hundreds of experimental recipes, finally hit the right balance of sweetness to win Food Network's Cupcake Wars. In the frosting and cake, she uses simple ingredients, such as cream cheese, unbleached flour, and vanilla-bean paste, rather than artificial ingredients with long, cumbersome names, such as cellulose monoglycerides or John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. All cupcakes are miniature in size, so customers can get a quick sugar fix or sample several flavors guilt-free.
