Cupcakes from Dainties knocked FoodieMcFood for a loop. Dark chocolate with ganache frosting and a shot of whipped cream inside and on top make them like the Hostess cakes of childhood, but so, so much better.
There are five options for the whipped cream flavor–vanilla bean, raspberry, chocolate, caramel, and coffee–but the cupcakes are all chocolate with ganache frosting. Chocophobes need not apply.
Although it’s more of a catering operation, the owner welcomes drop-ins. Don’t expect a cafe atmosphere, though.
cvc says there’s another good new cupcake place in Pasadena, Dots.
