Cupcake Showdown!

photo IMG_0064

MMM….cupcakes.

My fiancé is a semiprofessional cupcake (and the occasional muffin and regular sized cake – oh and she makes good lemon bars – so does that make her a semipro baker?? I don’t know.) baker. When we heard that Trophy Cupcakes was opening their first shop on the Eastside, we were excited to try it out. Trophy’s Bellevue location is in newly built luxury shopping center, The Bravern (FYI: ridiculously expensive parking if you do not validate). After enjoying a red velvet cupcake and hot chocolate, I questioned Suzanne which cupcake shop did she like more, Trophy Cupcakes or Cupcake Royale?

She said that she liked Trophy’s cupcakes and decor. Trophy does have a princess-esque style, which I obviously do not care about. The Bellevue location is small and is not set up for lounging (we had to eat outside). Their cupcakes were good but the highlight of the experience was the hot chocolate (they use homemade marshmallows). Cupcake Royale also has great cupcakes but a very urban coffee shop feel. Cupcake Royale also have free wifi!!! (I am actually writing this post from Cupcake Royale in Capitol Hill.) Since both places have great cupcakes and espresso, I am going to have to call Cupcake Royale the winner. I cannot pass up an opportunity to set up a mobile office and load up on carbs and caffeine.
