I know this is super lame, but my favorite cake/cupcake of all time is that Funfetti crap you buy at the grocery store with the appropriate Funfetti frosting (the type with the gel-like beads in it).
If we're talking fancy cupcake stores, then I really like Trophy's vanilla/vanilla and I found this cupcake truck in Austin that had delicious vanilla/chocolate and a really good strawberry one. I like boring cupcakes the best.
Duuuuude same here! I love trying really crazy stuff (you only live once, right? ) but my favorites are aaaalways the super basics.
I would say, if I'm going OUT to get cupcakes, then probably the oreo cupcake from Katie's Cupcakes (b-ham)
... But I really need to try this pbj thing.. what the heck. That sounds incredible.
I'll admit that of the "fancy" cupcake places around here, I've only been to Cupcake Royale. I *love* their carrot cake cupcakes, and the fresh strawberry they make during the summer is really good, too.

I have only been to cupcake places a couple time. I know this is blasphemy, but I really hardly enjoy them much - especially for the price. I actually prefer my own cupcakes. I found this good recipe online with sour cream in it, and it's always a hit. It's just plain white cake with vanilla butter cream. I like them very sweet!
agreed. it's totally classic! and larzhope makes a MEAN vanilla vanilla cupcake.
I request a cupcake GTG re-do one weekend when I am up in SEA. Also, I would just like to point out how lame the state of CA is. They don't even have a board set up here yet, even though their population is something like 6 times that of WA.
sfgal, you can request one...just go to the bottom of the "main" page, go to help and faq, there's a thread called "local board requests" or something like that.....if you build it, they will come.
I love funfetti cupcake with the frosting that has the little smooshy soft spinkles in it!
I've never had CR or TC but I like this place over here called Bella Cupcakes and they have a strawberry lemonade one that I like. It's strawberry cake with tangy lemon frosting and it has a lemon filling.
I like Bella too! I like the French Toast one with the french toast cupcake, maple frosting and bacon. Yum.
ironically enough I don't really like cupcakes but (not to toot my own horn) those vanilla/vanilla cupcakes I made were the bomb dot com. I shamelessly borrowed the cupcake and frosting recipes so I really can't take much credit!
it's ok though.. they were SO good. i recently made frosting and if i had vanilla bean, i bet it would taste like yours, larzhope. i used mexican vanilla instead.
