I know what you are thinking....just how good can cupcakes really be right? Sounds so simple, but we love them, and I am wondering who has the best in the area. Any thoughts? -mJ Tue Oct 27 06:56:53 -0700 2009 192452 njfoodies 1 5134231 I like to think I know my cupcakes pretty well. I actually went on The Star Ledger's Munchmobile in search of the best cupcakes earlier this year....lol Out of all the places we visited, to me, only one would ever be worth a trip back. And that was Sugar & Sunshine in Plainsboro. I've been there many times before that and can attest to the freshness and deliciousness of the cupcakes there. Other places I've had some very good cupcakes from are Mr. Cupcake in Clifton and Le Petit Cafe in Nutley. For just plain ol' vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, The Flakey Tart in Atlantic Highlands are incredible.

Baker Boys - Ocean Grove and Asbury Convention Hall - pretty good, but not always consistent. Had a very good one this weekend. Ocean Grove Bake Shoppe - also very good.

For more varied choices, Sugar and Sunshine in Plainsboro. Wed Oct 28 02:17:27 -0700 2009 5134406 1092171 Check17 1 5142611 We've been really very happy with Sweet in Hoboken. Hand made in shop, moist extremely light cake, great frostings, and two sizes of available, conventional and tiny-sized. Their red velvet cupcake is superb. www.sweethoboken.com Fri Oct 30 07:35:39 -0700 2009 5134043 247242 BeerWeezil
