Jump to: Reviews | Cake vs. Cupcakes

A well-timed exchange of cupcakes brings families closer together during the holidays and played a crucial role in the diffusion of tensions during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today's deal gets you your choice of a dozen of these delicious diplomats at Cupcake Couture for $11 (a $22 value). This deal is good for either the Silverado Shopping Center or the Broadway locations, and will get you every kind of cupcake except for custom-design orders.

Cupcake Couture boasts more than 20 varieties of cupped cakery and offers 16 flavors every day. Choose from gourmet cupcakes such as the wedding white, the banana nut, the s'more, and the chocolate on chocolate. For something more decadent, try the cheesecake cupcake or the red velvet. For something more seasonal, you might prefer the gingerbread cupcake or the pumpkin-pie cupcake. More once-in-a-blue-moon varieties include tres leches, tiramisu, and cappuccino. Owners Wynette and Nicole make everything fresh daily using real ingredients and top them with real fruits and real candies. They also know how to make sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegan cupcakes.

Like a summer's day, a dozen cupcakes always seem like they'll last forever, only to be nothing but sugary crumbs by nightfall. Luckily, you can circumvent the one-Groupon-per-person limit by treating all your friends to Groupons and then guilt-tripping them into sharing their last peanut butter and chocolate cupcake with you. After polishing off the cupcake, tell them that you're tired and need to rest at one of their houses. Now just wait for them to fall asleep and leave with a free gallon of milk.

Reviews

Yelpers give Cupcake Couture 3.5 stars, and one Citysearch reviewer gives the Broadway location five stars:

• Probably some of the most addictive cupcakes I have ever had. – CSMobileUser, Citysearch
• The lady at the counter was nice and the store is super cute: filled with little baby cupcake clothing and cupcake cooking gear. There also was a big book of cakes Couture made, so apparently they cater and branch out beyond the cupcake niche. – Allison F., Yelp
• The peanut butter & chocolate with a mini Reese's peanut butter cup on top was delicious. Cake part had chocolate chips in it too. My absolute favorite flavor combo - loved it. – Bee G., Yelp
