| - I love Vanilla Pastry Studio. Their cupcakes are without a doubt the best in Pittsburgh. They are moist, and perfectly paired up with real buttercream frosting. Some of my favorites are the strawberry champagne, lemon, and grape. (Yes, grape)!
Other winners at this place include the lollies (chocolate covered desserts on a stick), the homemade ho-hos, and the seasonal pastries.
April (the owner) is always friendly and helpful. When I ordered a large number of cupcakes for a birthday party and the order had a mistake, she worked hard to correct it the day before the event.
I am giving it four stars instead of five because I believe that some of their items are overpriced. Moreover, every time that I have tried to order a cake, (week or two in advance) I was turned down because they were "booked for weddings." I suppose this is the drawback to having a small, popular, bakery.
In a nutshell: It's a nice splurge to have once in awhile, but if you want to order a cake, call a few weeks in advance!
