Here it is, another post and opinion on our LA Cupcake Challenge entries!

Los Angeles Times “Daily Dish” just posted their views on the competition and we’re happy with the results!  Self proclaimed “white chocolate hater” Elina Shatkin raves about our white chocolate macadamia nut cupcake! When describing the event she says:

Ultimately, it was all about unexpected riotous flavor pairings and finds, though many a cupcake was undone by frosting that was too sweet and overpowered the cake. But the white chocolate macadamia cupcake from Two Parts Sugar managed to melt the arteries of this die-hard white chocolate hater.

Thanks Elina for the awesome review! We’re are so glad to hear you liked our cupcakes! 

Again, I just can’t say enough good things about this event, how it was conducted, and just how nice all the competitors and guests were.  We’ll definitely be at next year’s Challenge!

OK, seriously, we are THRILLED with the responses we’ve been getting! We just saw another post about our cupcakes!

LA and OC Foodventures “loved” our cupcakes! For those of you unfamiliar with this site, they cover all things food in LA and OC (hence the name) and report on it.  Here’s what they had to say about our cupcakes:

I loved both the “traditional” raspberry red velvet and white chocolate macadamia cupcakes at Two Parts Sugar. The former features a wonderful juxtaposition between the bright, almost-tart raspberry and the rich, sweet cream cheese frosting (great since I find most red velvets too sweet) and the latter taste like a cakier version of my favorite cookie.

We can hardly contain our excitement with all the positive feedback we are getting. Thanks LA and OC Foodventures for the kind words and post!

In a previous post we mentioned some initial feedback from The Cupcake Activist, but she has followed up with her own extensive review. In case you don’t already know, The Cupcake Activistis a cupcake lover who runs a blog devoted to her visits to cupcake bakeries, stories about cupcakes, reviews of cupcakes, and adventures in her own cupcake baking.

On Christmas morning we hand delivered a box of Two Parts Sugar Cupcakes to The Cupcake Activist.  Here’s what she had to say:

On Christmas morning I received a special gift–two dozen mini cupcakes! I can honestly say this was my yummiest present!

We love to make our yummy treats for  birthdays, weddings and other special events. We have to admit, our all time favorite is when we can deliver our Two Parts Sugar treats as unexpected as a gift!

One of my favorite characteristics of Two Parts Sugar’s cupcakes are the unique flavors. The red velvet I tried wasn’t just a plain red velvet, it was raspberry red velvet. I love trying out new flavors!

We’re happy to hear she loved trying our Signature Raspberry Red Velvet Cupcakes!  We have put a lot of work into perfecting it and use fresh raspberries in every home-made batch.

I also ate a chocolate and vanilla bean cupcake. The cake was moist on all of them and the frosting was delicious, not too heavy but perfect for these mini cupcakes. My family and I give Two Parts Sugar a thumbs up!

We want to thank The Cupcake Activist for taking the time to arrange a tasting (sounds like a dream job!). We know the holidays can be crazy and we appreciate that she was able to squeeze us in! So again, thanks for the thumbs up.  We will continue to cook up new recipe combinations and will be sure to let you know all about them!
