| - This afternoon, my passionate sweet-tooth led me to Kreative Kupcakes, a locally owned family cupcake shop. One of the few (if not, the only?) cupcake bakeries in the west valley, K.K. is located on the outskirts of downtown Avondale. Practically right next door, this place will be hard for me to resist on a daily basis!
The food: Primarily specializing in the creative and pleasant snack sized treat which is none other than the cupcake, these guys truly know how to do it right! I purchased six cupcakes, all were moist, sweet, and topped with perfection. These truly are "kreative" cupcakes! The prices range from 2.75 to 3.25, a bit pricey for the size. They also have some other menu items, I spotted special event cakes and desserts, cake pops and even...chocolate covered bacon? Maybe something I will try next time.
Red Velvet: Your typical red velvet with a cinnamon cream surprise in the center! Must try.
Strawberry: Tasted like your stereotypical strawberry cupcake, quite forgettable and a tad dry.
Rocky Road: Very chocolaty and more peanuts than expected!
Lemon Chiffon: DELICIOUS, fluffy, and light. Must try.
Chocolate Raspberry: Tasty! A bit plain to look at though.
Samoa: Looks like the cookie, tastes like the cookie.
The staff: The husband and wife duo that was working was energetic and genuinely enthusiastic about their cupcakes! They were accommodating, and offered me a taste of the Oreo cupcake while I was being indecisive.
The ambience: There is an open sitting area, as well as a patio littered with bright pink chairs. The building itself is bright green, you can't miss it! The smell was the only thing that bothered me, instead of a bakery it smelt more like a waffle house. Most likely because of that quirky chocolate covered bacon aforementioned.
What you should know: They also have gluten free options, and an alternative whipped cream topping for those who frown on butter cream.
