Enough with the hate.When a person is willing to go to blows over a cupcake bakery, I admit that I may have made a mistake. I’m not saying that I was wrong, because I still don’t believe Yummy to be the very best cupcake in town, but I may have been unnecessarily harsh.
Here’s what happened: a member of my tasting squad, enraged by my dismissive tone, demanded that I give Yummy Cupcakes another try. I refused, stating that the cupcakes were dry and the frosting too sweet. She scoffed at my refusal, unwilling to admit defeat. She even brought them to a small birthday celebration over the weekend, announcing to all who would listen how I’d publicly denounced the bakery. I had to taste the cupcakes again.
And you know what? It was good. Real good. The red velvet was moist and soft, and although there was still too much frosting for my taste, I liked it. The heavy cream cheese frosting left a thin coating on my tongue, but in a good way, a way that confirmed that they used real, full-fat cream cheese. Is it The Absolute Best Cupcake in LA? I’m going to stand by my original review and still say no it isn’t, but it really is a mighty fine cupcake and certainly worth the trek to either Santa Monica or Burbank.

We can now be friends again… Although after your last review I did notice their vanilla was WAY to sweet, but their Red Velvet is still amazing
