Two Parts Sugar Raspberry Red Velvet

I have tried Two Parts Sugar's Raspberry Red Velvet and it was very good. I'm so happy to hear that they received second place in the Best Traditional category. They started their cupcake business over a year ago, so they are fairly new in the cupcake scene. I'm glad that they are receiving the recognition they deserve for their yummy cupcakes.

SusieCakes Red Velvet

As much as I love SusieCakes, I have yet to try one of their red velvet cupcakes. Since they placed first in the Best Traidtional, I guess I better give the red velvet a try!

I'm so happy to see that some of my favorite cupcake bakery's received top honors at the competition. Congratulations to them! Keep baking great cupcakes and I will keep eating them!

Bristol Farms to relocate

I heard that one of the two Bristol Farms locations in Orange County was closing. Since I have only been to the Newport Beach location, I had my fingers crossed that it wasn't that location. After reading more of the article, I found that it was the Mission Viejo location that would be closing.

Why would I be so concerned about the closing of Bristol Farms? Well, Bristol Farms sells some delicious cupcakes! Last year, the OC Register chose Bristol Farms for Best Overall and Best Frosting on cupcakes in their Cupcake Challenge. That's a pretty big deal considering there are a lot of good cupcakes to be found in Orange County. After reading about the Cupcake Challenge, I decided that I needed to try a few cupcakes from Bristol Farms. Check out my review here.


So back to the story...the good news is that even though the Mission Viejo location is closing, Bristol Farms is going to relocate to a new location between San Clemente and Mission Viejo. Although this location is not closer for me, at least Bristol Farms is not diminishing it's Orange County presence.
