I Cupcake LA t-shirts

Love this t-shirt from Dots Cupcakes!

I really need to get to their store soon, as I've already found out that I love their cupcakes.

Review: Dots Cucpakes

A few months ago I featured Dots Cupcakes as a cupcakery I haven't been to, but really want to try. Yesterday a friend called to tell me that he had some cupcakes for me. Of course I was excited, but especially excited after finding out the cupcakes were from Dots Cupcakes.
I was lucky enough to try two cupcakes from Dots: Chocolate and Red Velvet. Both were delicious! The chocolate had a swirl of caramel on top which gave a normal chocolate cupcake a little something extra. The frosting on the red velvet was just how I like it...great! My only suggestion would be more frosting, but that's just a personal preference. Although I technically tasted Dots Cupcakes, I still plan on visiting one of their Pasadena's store this year. So many flavors that I want/need to try!

P.S. Awesome packaging! Although sometimes overlooked, packaging is a huge part of cupcake buying, which some cupcakeries skimp on. Dots is smart.

So close, yet so far!

Dots Cupcakes is only an hour away, yet I haven't visited them yet! I am rarely out in the Pasadena area, so that's my excuse for now. BUT that doesn't mean that I haven't wanted to visit Dots many, many times!

Dots Cupcakes has two locations in Pasadena, CA. They feature different cupcakes each day of the week, so check their menu to see when they are serving your favorite. Their cupcakes are $2.75 (good price!) each and their Minis are $1.50.

My wishes:

Apple Pie: Cinnamon Granny Smith apple cake with cream cheese frosting and caramel swirl

Dulce de Leche: Caramel vanilla cake with condensed milk and cream cheese frosting with loads of caramel swirled

PB & Banana: Banana cake with loads of peanut butter chips and peanut butter frosting


Dots Cupcakes is on my list of cupcakes to visit this year. I hope they are as good as they sound!
