    Because who doesn't want a rainbow sparkly unicorn cupcake?
    Aubrie R.

    Clean spot, friendly folks, delish cakes! These little cakes in a cup are super cute! They are decorated beautifully, the taste is what you would expect... nothing that blew me away but a solid dessert spot and a place I would trust for a party or a special event : )

    First time coming here. It's a nice and clean bakery. They have wheat free items to choose from. I'm not much into chocolate filling. So I picked up the Daisy Hayes cupcake. White cake with strawberry mousse and vanilla buttercream. It was so delicious. Parking is side street only. No parking lot available.

    I love this place! It smells so good, the instant you walk in the store, and the staff is very friendly, helpful and quick! I love the concept of getting a full-size cupcake or a mini one to taste and try different ones. And, the flavor choices are mouth-watering delicious! The first time I went I got full-size cupcakes, and the last time we got a dozen mini- ones and it was fun cuz everyone in the family got to try different ones! I am so grateful that this cupcakery is in my neighborhood! I highly recommend them for any occassion!

    I have followed Fat Cupcake on social media for awhile, I honestly don't recall how I found out about them but hadn't been able to get to their Oregon City location. I was ecstatic to find out they were opening a new location closer to me and I just had to make it to their grand opening! I visited their new location in SE Portland off of Woodstock and it was beautiful! The shop is bright and welcoming and has several great photo worthy designs for a cute backdrop and photo op. It's not a huge space but if you plan to take your cupcakes to go then it's perfect but there were several tables to stay and enjoy your treats on sight. Since it was the grand opening we got free party cupcake [vanilla cake with sprinkles] and it was perfection! One the cake is so light and fluffy and the perfect amount of sweet. It melted in my mouth SO good!! We also snagged some minis to take home and enjoy later and they were also very delicious and moist! I am a little biased when it comes to chocolate flavors because I am a sucker for chocolate but my favorite flavors we tried were the Black Velvet and Dough Boy!

    The branding is cute, and I was sold by the social media presence and reviews left by others on Yelp and Google. Being a foodie, having a sweet tooth and always seeking to find the "best in its category" locally, I am sharing my honest feedback based on my experience. The store I went to was in SE Portland, coming from Beaverton, about a 30 min drive. It's a very cute and small store with a vintage vibe to it, no onsite parking but close enough parking available in the residential street nearby. They did enforce safety precautions for covid (limited capacity and mask requirement), which I appreciated. The ladies at the counter and whoever I placed the order with on the phone were gems and a delight to work with. Great attitude and customer service. They even accommodated a slight tweak in my order (not custom) an hour before I picked up. They have everyday flavor offerings as well as limited/seasonal flavors (for Easter they had carrot cake and hoppy easter cupcakes) in both regular and mini sizes. You can also go the custom route but there is a minimum order of 12. I did not opt for that only because this was for my virtual baby shower and I didn't need a dozen cupcakes all to myself, just for the decor. I ordered 6 of the regular sized ones in: The Intern, The Professional, Lemon Doodle and White Velvet. The box was nicely packaged and wrapped in saran wrap to preserve it in the fridge until it was time to display/eat. Coming to the taste of the cupcakes, I reallllyyy did not like the mouth feel of the frosting, but that's just me. It felt very greasy/oily in the mouth which I wasn't a fan of. While it wasn't exactly the cheap buttercream frosting that some of the grocery store bakeries have, it also was not like the cool, fluffy frosting with that delicate balance of sweet and creaminess- it just felt like I had a bunch of shortening in my mouth. The cake itself was underwhelming, not to be critical but I have had boxed cake mix that was more moist and flavorful. The cake flavors unfortunately were too bland to be anything noteworthy. The combination of the texture of the frosting and the dull cake flavors was not a win for me in the cupcake department. I will continue my search to find the perfect cupcake in Portland! If you're looking for something cute, reasonably priced and don't care so much about the cupcake flavor being generic, it's a great place. But if you're looking for a truly exceptional flavor/texture experience, perhaps this wouldn't be the top choice. Ultimately, my rating was based on the exceptional service I received and not the taste of the cupcake as much, because that's completely subjective and people have different preferences when it comes to what appeals to them personally.

    I'm going to keep this simple. These are the best cupcakes around. Fat Cupcake has a great variety of cupcakes including this one, The Charlie. Which is Chocolate Cake, a peanut butter cup baked inside, and peanut butter buttercream. The cupcakes are are always most, never dry. When you have the urge for a great cupcake, look no further. You won't be disappointed!

    We visited Twisted Croissant to pick up some treats to tide us over on our drive back up to…read moreSeattle. Walking in less than an hour before closing, we were surprised to see most of the items still in stock! We ended up picking four things to try: Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann ($7) - This pasty has a sweet yet salty exterior that's complementary in flavor rather than clashing. It's accentuated with a crunchy glazed and caramelized sugar layer that's on the sweeter side. The interior is interesting. There's a cavernous gap right in the center that's filled with a sickly sweet melted sugar syrup. It's unpleasantly sweet and very cloying. The puffed and filled area is large enough that it compresses the other layers so the kouign amann is dense. I've never had a kouign amann quite this sweet before. (3/5) Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Thyme ($5.50) - This cake is so moist and rich, thick and dense, fatty and rich, that it feels like I"m eating a slab of butter. I'm sure it has just as many calories too! It's quite sweet, although not nearly to the level of the kouign amann. Overall, it's just a really rich and decadent cake. (4/5) Blueberry + Vanilla Cream Brioche Donut w/ Earl Grey ($6) - The top of the pastry is dressed with a cream that has an unmistakably strong bergomot earl grey taste. I wish there was way more cream - there's essentially only a dab on top! The rest of the donut is filled with a custardy light blueberry and vanilla jam. It's not too sweet and has an excellent high quality blueberry fragrance, creating an exceptionally strong blueberry taste. The jam is not too thick and is somewhat syrupy from sugar. The donut itself is really soft and extremely airy. It's the fluffiest donut I've eaten in a long time. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This pastry has some fun dehydrated raspberries sprinkled right on top of a light and fluffy cream that's not too sweet. The cruffin base is buttery in taste and great lamination even when filled with the custard and rose/raspberry cream. This is a heavy cruffin that's very filling. (5/5) Twisted Croissant certainly does some some really delectable treats. It's one of my favorite bakeries in Portland!

    Twisted Croissant was definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the city, however, they have…read moresignificantly raised their prices, and the pastries are much smaller. I'm not sure that I can justify spending $7 to $12 on a single pastry. This will have to be my special occasion bakery, I suppose. Additionally, I had a less than pleasant exchange with one of the employees. It kind of caught me off guard because that has never happened before. Maybe she was just having a rough day.
