There are a wide range of tasty and beautiful cupcakes to take away or eat in with a coffee and have a chat with friends. My favourite is the gluten free red velvet and you would never know that it is gluten free. Never fear they also have full gluten cupcakes if that is what you prefer. Every time I have bought some of these they are a talking point at the get together. They are a good size so perhaps get two different one's and split them with your friend or date and you will get to try more. Simply Delicious.

Having purchased…read moretheir cakes several times now, they've been consistently fresh and flavoursome, light and fluffy, and offering many combinations of flavours. They are friendly and helpful and it's always a delight to purchase from them. I highly recommend buying from them, although I'm not aware of them having a store, they are always available from markets around town or ordering, and if you're lucky, keep an eye out, you might catch them in town at the One Eleven building on Eagle Street on a weekday selling their goodies :) Memorable cupcakes we've sampled are the cafe latte - injected with coffee and topped with a choc covered coffee bean, and the bannoffee - a banana caramel and cream cupcake with fresh bananas!

Delighful, delicous, delovely...yes, this cupcake'n'coffee store looks positively edible…read more From its pink and white candy-striped walls, to the chocolate brown banquettes (complete with cushions and teddy bears); to the divine concoctions on display at the counter, it's a sweet tooth's paradise. I couldn't decide between a Miss Piggy cupcake, or the one with the strawberry cheescake icing (the latter ended up winning the coin toss), so I took it, along with my beautifully creamy cappacino, to devour on the small patio outside. And the cake? Well this is where I differ to most other people so far. I thought it was Ok...but I'm going to go off piste here and say that it was most definitely not the best I've eaten. (I've had better in...gasp...Shingle Inn). I was definitely more taken with the cuteness of the cafe than the cake itself. It should have been fluffier, the icing should have been tastier... Maybe I should have gone with the Miss Piggy after all???

The pink and white theme only adds to the cute factor, along with making it quite impossible for straight men to frequent this place. Inside is just as adorable, with a cosy little booth to one side and a display cabinet full of various cupcake flavours. There are many flavours to choose from; more traditional ones like chocolate and some fancier varieties such as marble, each of which has a chocolate seashell perched on the carefully iced top. I absolutely love seashells but when it comes to cupcakes I believe it's the original and the best, so I chose a vanilla flavoured one. I have to say I was disappointed. The base was delicious and exactly what I would expect of a cupcake, even if it was a little heavy, but the icing was not. The main reason I love cupcakes is because of the amazingly creamy, buttery icing. The icing here is harder and can absolutely not be described as creamy. It's still a nice place and the cupcakes are presented so well that I'm sure I will be enticed into trying them again.

I was drawn to these Cupcakes like a moth to a light, they are eye catching. We tasted one that had a peanut butter chocolate theme to it, the fondant was great and in the centre of the very well baked sponge cupcake, there was a gooey peanut butter chocolate centre! Oh wow! We thought this gooey surprise tasted like a 'Reeces Peeces' piece but we were pretty sure it was Australian Peanut Butter. So that means there is an incredible, genius baker lovingly assembling these gorgeous treats! It seems apparent that a lot of love and effort has been poured into these sweets, it certainly translates in the quality of the finished product. They would look glamorous mounted upon a three-tier rack for a special occasion or in a sweet box as a surprise for a loved one. I'm a little smitten with Cake It Up right now, especially knowing they are made by a local and sold in a local small business, I mean that's just wonderful! I urge you, give them a try- I promise you, you will not be disappointed..

No, I'm not five years old, but every time I pass a cupcake place, I definitely act like one. Generally, I almost throw a tantrum, as cupcakes are ALWAYS overpriced. But for a good reason here - they are just that darn tasty, they could charge millions for them and I'd still buy them (well...after I've taken out a loan). Snickers, Mars Bars, red velvet, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate fudge, strawberries and cream, cookies and cream, passionfruit and cherry flavoured cupcakes. And they're huge. The actual muffin itself is moist, and quite small, but the icing more than makes up for that. Literally doubling the size of the whole cupcake. If you make the tough decision to only buy one, and not the whole shop, then definitely grab the Cookie Monster. It must have been all of that cookie eating in his life which has made him delightfully tasty!

I hadn't seen it before so I had to go in. The smells of freshly baked good flooded out of the doorway as I approached and when I entered I was stoked by what I saw.

In the end I got half a dozen cupcakes of various flavours and looks and when I got hot to my wife we devoured them like greedy children. What a discovery.

I've frequented Everton Park Plaza all my life and I can always remember staring at the cupcakes at Sweetie Pies, begging my mother to get me one because they were so yummy. She sometimes gave in and when she did, I was in heaven. It has to compete with Brumby's around the corner but I think Sweetie Pies is a real local treasure in Everton Park. There are always yummy cupcakes and cakes wrapped up and ready to go for any passer-by and as a local business, I am more than willing to support them and commend them for their lovely food and ridiculously cheap prices.

You will find something tol fulfill your every craving, from a passionfruit tart to lamb & rosemary pie to their candied walnuts. Thankfully their price tags prevent me from making decisions my metabolism will regret, though it means I haven't tried much of their offerings. On a special occasion, I called in to order a small flourless chocolate cake (34) - an easy choice when choosing for a chocolate lover. I was rather excited, as I'd never been able to justify going to Jocelyn's Provisions "just because." The flourless chocolate cake is a dense chocolate cake with chocolate nuts, and toffee and praline bits. Not having looked at the pictures too closely previously, we were all impressed with the sugar lattice on the cake. Although a bit of a strange combination to have paired chocolate with a sugar lattice (flavour-wise), it was a lovely touch to the cake. It says online that the small cake is for 6 people, but we managed to make eight pieces, with all of us being satisfied (and even having some difficulty finishing the cake after dinner at Siam Samrarn). Needless to say, that was one delicious rich and dense chocolate cake! Even though I tend to not be a fan of chocolate cakes - or just cakes in general - if you want a scrumptious and impressive looking cake, this is the place to go!
