cupcakes actually

I just found a great new place to fulfill my cupcake cravings and I doubt I'll be tempted to go anywhere else again.  

Cupcakes Actually just opened in Fairfax Corner, so upon a recent visit we decided to take the girls in and give it a taste test.  

We weren't disappointed!

The cupcakes are delish! Especially the icing - and I'm a little bit difficult to please when it comes to cake frostings.  We only bought two - one for each of the girls, but after snagging a little taste I'm dying to go back and have one (or more) all to myself.  There are a couple of signature flavors in particular that have caught my eye - "actually dipped caramel" (vanilla cake topped with buttercream and dipped in caramel) or "actually dipped chocolate" (devil's food cake topped with buttercream and dipped in chocolate fudge) were two of the unique flavors I noticed among a luscious champagne cupcake, key lime, mocha, mint chocolate and more...(menu here).

There is also a different gluten-free flavor available each week.  And, I must say that not only do they taste good, but they are really pretty as well.  You can also purchase specially decorated cupcakes for a special event.  

I'll definitely be visiting again soon!

We tried Cupcakes Actually based on your recommendation. They are outstanding! I've visited other gourmet cupcake stores and generally been disappointed, but this store is really great. Thanks!
