Mix Cupcake Co. - Reno, NV

I just came across a cupcake bakery that I wasn't aware of...and it's in my own back yard!  Mix Cupcake Co. was featured in an article in Reno Passport magazine and that is how I came to know about them. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity to eat a cupcake, I had to check them out!  While you are visiting their web site, be sure to read about their Cupcake Fairy program...they periodically choose someone from among their Facebook fans and send them a box of four cupcakes. Sweet (literally).  BTW - they deliver!

Batch Cupcakery (Reno, NV)

I visited the Batch Cupcakery in Reno yesterday.  There are numerous bakeries in Reno but this is the only one totally dedicated to cupcakes.  I had been reading about it for several months and was in the neighborhood. 

I bought four cupcakes...but only two made it home.  The Sweetheart (red velvet with cream cheese frosting) was gone before I made it to the interstate.  This is the best cream cheese frosting I have had from a bakery and it tasted just like my mother's recipe.  I would put this frosting up against any southern recipe.  I had planned to wait and eat the Lemon Drop (moist lemon cake with lemon curd filling and lemon buttercream) after dinner, but I have no willpower so it disappeared somewhere between Reno and Carson City. 

The Batch Cupcakery web site lists business hours, flavors, maps/directions and contact information and you can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook.  I will definitely be buying cupcakes there again.  The cupcakes are $1.75 each and very generous in size of cake and amount of frosting.  A great bargain in these tough economic times!

These photos tell the story of my visit.
