Cupcakes Galore

The Little Miss and I again abandoned Mr. Wagner for a girls outing in the PDX area with my long-time friend Amy and her sweet baby girl, Abby. While Mr. Wagner spent the day with his "man chores" around the house, we had fun hiking the Wildwood Trail in Forest Park. We were tempted to try the whole 30 miles (not really) but turned back after about an hour because we were on a mission. Our goal was to find the best cupcake in Portland.

After a yummy lunch at Henry's, we headed to Cupcake Jones. There we ordered mini versions of their red velvet, PB&J, root beer float, downtown cupcake brown, vanilla pearl and chocolate mint cupcakes. After testing a couple and saving the rest, we headed to our next destination, Saint Cupcake (where we finally remembered the camera). We enjoyed the lovely decor and ordered carrot cake, red velvet, fudge topped and chocolate chip cupcakes.

Abby sure liked the fudge-covered cupcake. She's already a super happy and smiley baby, this just added extra to her sweetness!

The Little Miss was ecstatic to get two "special treats" at two different stops all within 20 minutes! Good thing both places sold "mini" versions so we didn't feel TOO bad about feeding the kiddos all that sugar.


Which PDX cupcake bakery is tops? Our final verdict was that we had inconclusive evidence; we MUST try more.

Both places look like they have a tasty selection! Yum! I love cupcakes. I can't remember the last time I had one?

When I was a girl my mom used to make the cupcake cones (cake baked in an icecream cone) for me. I loved frosting them with white frosting and adding sprinkles, that was my favorite.
