| - A suitable replacement bakery if I ever decide to move back to LV. I can't let my loyalty waver for my favorite bakery here in CA (Sweet Passions Bakery in Cupertino), but Retro Bakery is amazing, their buttercream puts it over the top. It's even in their slogan, "It's All About The Buttercream", it sure is!
Retro Bakery provides all of NW Las Vegas' sweet tooths with their daily dose of sugar. This bakery features several different flavors of pristine cupcakery. Although all of the flavors are delicious, there are a few that are sure to please even the most incredulous of eaters. The Maple Bacon (sounds gross but is heavenly) boasts bacon cake filled with maple syrup topped with maple buttercream. For the people who have their reservations about a bacon cake, just imagine eating a breakfast with bacon and pancakes, it's not gross in that setting, so it's easy to enjoy as a cupacke in my opinion.
Other standout flavors were the Hop Scotch, Milk & Cookies (a real Chocolate Chip cookie perched atop vanilla buttercream), Glazed Donut (tastes exactly as it sounds), Apple Cider and Pucker Up which has raspberry cake topped with lemon buttercream. A much better alternative to Just Cupcakes which I think is now closed but I could be mistaken.
As others have mentioned, the cake itself is above average, but the buttercream is what makes the cupcake spectacular. If you crave sweets, this should be a staple stop anytime you're in Vegas.
