Cupcake Mania




Last week while Angie was here we did a taste test of the two best cupcake joints in Portland to see who had the tastiest treats in town.

Saint Cupcake was our first stop. Located in the heart of NW, these cupcakes were amazing. The famous "dots", sized and priced perfectly for those wanting to try them all, were the perfect little treat. If we lived downtown still, this place would become a daily stop! Even their packaging is so cute!



VS

Cupcake Jones located in the Pearl, was our second stop. They have fun daily specials such as Hot Chocolate and Marsh on Thursdays and Peanut Butter and Jelly on Saturdays. I was surprised to find that they no longer use their "gourmet" wrappers to make the cupcakes more appealing, but all in all, still a delicious spot. I would recommend the larger ones because they are filled inside! To compare: they're priced a little higher than saint cupcake and there is no where to sit inside, but if you're getting them to go, not a problem.

DARN! I wish my computer was a scratch-n-sniff! Mmmm...looks like you guys had fun. Is it sad that I grew up here and I haven't done probably half the things you have here? hahaha. One day...
