I have yet to step foot inside of Lulu's but I have tasted their cupcakes and they are delicious. I am a fan of cake and cupcakes, but I am not a fan of the store bought product that is so overly sweet I feel like I might develop diabetes after one bite. So my brother picked some Lulu's cakes up for me as I had mentioned reading about the new bakery in the new Phoenix Metropolitan magazine. The cupcakes they serve are all natural, but this does not mean they are not sweet, fluffy, and full of flavor. I tried the "Bunny Boo" which is a carrot cake cupcake covered in cream cheese butter cream icing. It even had a tiny sliver of carrot and I believe a sprig of parsley on the top to mimic a real carrot. The cake was flavorful with nice pieces of walnut and the icing was light and fluffy and there was a generous amount of it. I have a chocolate cupcake with vanilla butter cream icing sprinkled with coconut that I will be having at lunch and I cannot wait.
I am also a sucker for packaging and my 4 cupcakes came in a pretty pink box with a brown ribbon around it. The price is a little high for a single cupcake ($2.95) but sometimes you have to splurge to get a quality item. If you buy four it is $10.00.
They are only open 8:30am - 5:30pm, so plan your visit accordingly.
