Welcome to Day 3 of “Eating in LA”! Since it’s Wednesday we’re doing another “Tasty Thing In Life” – this week’s item are the cupcakes from Auntie Em’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock, CA.
Alyssa and I went to Auntie Em’s so so long ago. In fact, it’s included in the first blog post ever made on this blog. Whenever I go visit Alyssa, I want to go to Auntie Em’s. We usually go for breakfast and I always get a baked good afterwards. I visited Alyssa this past weekend and got one Red Velvet for a certain boy I know and I tried one of their “new” flavors, the Strawberry Orange cupcake.
Auntie Em’s cupcakes are always super moist with a nice creamy frosting on top. And there’s always a lot of frosting. And the large cupcakes are actually VERY large and will set you back a mere $3.50. So many things to love about it. The only downside is that it’s far away in Los Angeles. SIGH.
What’s your favorite cupcake flavor?
I love Auntie Em’s. When I lived in L.A., Auntie Em’s was my gatway into red velvet AND the cupcake trend. Sadly, I’ve moved on from red velvet and love vanilla with caramel and a tad bit of salt.
Hi Darlene – Caramel inside cupcakes really is a wondrous thing. I especially like the ones from Eclipse Chocolat!
