Big City Cupcakes - Vancouver, B.C.

We almost missed Big City Cupcakes and that would have been our loss.  We were on a city bus headed to the Granville Island Market, and as the bus made a turn I saw cupcakes painted on a window.  I looked up quickly to see the street name so we could hike back and find it later.  It was well worth the hike. BTW...they have a great web site.

Big City Cupcakes has an elegant silver sign and logo but the cupcakes are the stars of the show!  The selection is huge and the cupcakes are nicely displayed.  They even have a printed guide with pictures of the types of cakes and frostings.  After much deliberation, we decided on the lemon and the coconut and headed down the street to a coffee shop where we could enjoy our purchases.

The lemon cupcake was very moist cake with delicate a crumb.  It was filled with lemon curd and topped with lemon butter cream….perfection is the only word to describe it.  The coconut cake was also moist with delicious butter cream frosting topped with a generous portion of coconut. 

There was only one thing my visit to Big City Cupcakes needed….a bigger appetite so I could eat more cupcakes!
