I don't know when this whole cupcake craze took over, but I must say I was happy when they opened a yummy cupcake store in Santa Monica. They offer the same delicious variety of cupcakes everyday with a few different specials thrown in there everyday. Just like the Burbank store. So you never know what their special is going to be. I would recommend getting there pretty early in the day, especially on a Saturday, if you want first dibs at the cupcakes. The best cupcake in my opinion is the Happy Day. It could be the pink frosting, the sprinkles on top or baked into the cupcake, but it does seem to make my day a little happier. And I love the way they gob on the buttercream frosting. The prices seem reasonable compared to other cupcake stores, in fact they seem a little bit cheaper. The average cupcake will cost $2.50, while the specials can be up to $3.00 or more depending and it is usually worth it.

This place is amazing. I have for quite some time now been a Yummy Cupcakes fan. Sometimes it gets super busy, but what do you expect when everyone wants such amazing cupcakes! Their Red Velvet is the best in town and my personal favorite, the Fudge Yummy is an amazing chocolate cupcake, FILLED with GANACHE!!! It also has chocolate buttercream and these great chocolate sprinkles. I urge the people who had bad experiences there to try Yummy again, from my understanding they've undergone a bit of an management change, maybe that was the issue...because these cupcakes are AMAZING!!! I've tried a lot of cupcakes and this one takes the cake!

My boyfriend and I stopped in Yummy Cupcakes on Sat--and what a mistake. First off, it was around 6:30 and the sign on the door said that it was closed, though there were people inside, the hours posted indicated it was still to be open, and the door was unlocked..so we went in...as we waited in line while 3 bakers finally came to explain to us that it had been a busy day and all they had was displayed (maybe they didnt want to frost others so they closed?!?!)...ok, busy sunny Santa Monica day, I understand. We chose a vanilla vanilla, a signature Yummy Cupcake, and a vanilla with sprinkles. It literally took us 15 minutes to check out. Meanwhile, I sat down to an incredibly dirty and sticky table to watch this scene play out. The lady behind me was picking up an order that was supposed to be ready at 3:30, and it still wasn't ready. And because it was a busy day, I'm pretty sure they had sold her flavors of cupcake, but never mind, not my battle to fight. So after the 15 minutes of waiting patiently to pay without a mention of "I'm sorry for making you wait," my boyfriend brought me my cupcake. All could be forgiven if it was good. Ha! Honestly, and I'm sad I have to say this because I don't want to, but Vons makes a better cupcake. Maybe it's the fact that they're stored in the open, but the cake was DRY and the frosting was HARD. Oh, and let's not mention the overwhelming sugar frosting. It really make me sick afterwards. It's really sad because I'm a big supporter of local bakeries, but I'm better off at the other cupcake 4 blocks east. Cordon Bleu, really?
