Trophy Cupcakes
So in the past few years Cupcakeries have been popping up everywhere. Every city I visit has some cupcake place claiming to be the best. Crumbs and Magnolia in NYC, Trophy and Cupcake Royale in Seattle. So far, Trophy Cupcakes is my favorite.
I remember the first Trophy Cupcake I had, it was when the only place to get them was at Wallingford Center. I used to be a cupcake purist, and I still feel that if a bakery does a great vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting, then they are golden. I was hesitant when ordering because I wasn't sure what to expect. Yeah, they are adorable as food can be, but I reminded myself of how much I don't like super sweet frosting. I went with the Vanilla Vanilla anyways.
The frosting is sweet, but buttery. The cake is moist, and not too sweet. I felt as if I found exactly what I was looking for in a cupcake!
I love the party supply section at the Wallingford location - I love the cupcake printed gift wrap and the cute letterpress cards. It's hard to walk away without buying more than just a cupcake!
A couple years and many cupcakes later, Trophy has opened up additional locations at U Village and on the Eastside at the Bravern.
While shopping at the Bravern it felt nice to see a little piece of "home" over there. Up the escalators you can see the signature blue and brown awning. Of course we had to go in!
This location, as with the U Village location, is small in comparison to Wallingford. But you can still get a cupcake fix with their revolving specials menu.
My favorites at all locations have been the Chocolate Vanilla - dense and moist chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and blue and brown sprinkles.. And the Hummingbird - banana, pineapple and coconut cake with cream cheese frosting - to die for.
For Easter only they also have Hi Hats - chocolate cupcakes with q high swirl of marshmallow cream dipped in chocolate - they look like Dairy Queen cones!
While visiting the U Village location shorty after Twilight Eclipse was in theaters, Trophy had special Twilight cupcakes - Jacob, Edward and Bella's faces on the cupcakes! I had to buy them for my friends, they were too cute!
Each day of the week, Trophy features a different selection of flavors.. Here's what they have right now!
