Yellow Leaf Cupcake Company

2209 4th Ave
Seattle, WA 98121

Occasion: Time for an afternoon snack after a morning at the Zoo and a delicious lunch at Paseo's. Another recommendation that I wanted to check out. You know me and my sweets, it's hard to resist. 08.31.12

Honey Lavender
I understand that everyone has different likes and preferences with cupcakes, but this is seriously one of the best I've had. Not only are the flavors unique, but the cupcake is moist and fluffy and the buttercream frosting is airy, light at the perfect amount of sweetness. I love the fact that the buttercream was super light and not overly sweet. Often times, I find myself scraping off more than half of the frosting, but it was definitely not the case here. The sweetness of the honey and the floral aroma and taste of the lavender. My only complaint is that they could have done without the sprinkles, as it's not my thing.

Definitely a unique variety of flavors
Their most popular is their pancakes and bacon. But my favorite has to be the strawberry passion-fruit. Strawberry cupcake filled with passion fruit filling. So delicious. 6 months later and I still think about it. A must try when you're in Seattle. Other flavors tried were also their keylime pie, redvelvet, earl grey. They have their daily specials, so make sure you call ahead to see what they have.

San Francisco, CA 94123

Occasion: Cupcake delivery from Phil!! Thanks! 07.28.12

Passionfruit Cupcake
Vanilla Cupcake filled with passionfruit filling and topped with Vanilla buttercream frosting
This is probably my favorite flavor here! I love the tangy yet sweet filling with it's light buttcream frosting.  It's sweet, it's delicious and it's very light.  Perfect little afternoon snack and perfect little dessert.

Sibby

716 S Railroad Ave
San Mateo, CA 9440

Occasion: Just because... We had a fun filled day that started out with Brunch at Brendas then ended up around the block for some Philz coffee, which led to hanging out at my big sis' place before we headed to SJ. After our little field trip down to the south bay for some Vietnamese grubbing, we headed back to my big sis' place for girl talk/ wedding talk...and of course desserts from sibby's! They only take orders and you must have an order of at least half a dozen.  I decided to order a dozen with the Sibby Sampler that included a variety of their most popular flavors (half for our girls fun day and half for family). 07.21.12
From the top going clock wise: Chocolate & Cream, Cinnamon Latte, Butter Cup, July's flavor of the month: Smore's, Grandma's Chocolate Tea Cake, Red Velvet
My favorite to least favorite: chocolate and cream, butter cup, cinnamon latte, red velvet, grandma's chocolate tea cake then the smore's

The chocolate cakes were a lot more moist than the other ones.  I love fluffy, light frosting cupcakes.  The simpler the better.  Though these are delicious, I've definitely had better.  My fondest memories of these cupcakes were for my 25th birthday.
