I constantly get asked, "where can I find the best cupcakes?". Wow, it's just so hard to narrow it down because I've tasted so many delicious cupcakes. But I did. You can check out all of my reviews under the tab "Cupcake Reviews." It's now time to reveal the list for The Cupcake Activist's Top 10 Cupcakes of All Time! I'm sure this list will be ever-changing, as there are so many cupcakes I have yet to try. Enjoy the last day of 2010!

CUPCAKE SHOP: Elizabethan Desserts

LOCATION: Encinitas, CA

FAVORITE FLAVOR: Monkey Business - moist vanilla-banana cake with cream cheese frosting and caramel drizzle






I discovered this quaint little shop in 2008. It's nestled within a nursery in Encinitas, CA. I call it heaven on earth! When I stepped inside the bakery, I immediately knew this was the place, the place that I would recommend as THE BEST CUPCAKE SHOP!

I went against my instincts and tried a flavor I wouldn't normally have picked. PERFECTION - the best cupcake I've ever eaten! I dream about the Monkey Business cupcake all the time. But that cupcake isn't the only good one, everything I have eaten from Elizabeth Desserts is delicious!

These cupcakes are definitely different than any other cupcake I've tried before. The difference is that these cupcakes are more like desserts in a cupcake shape. The cake in Monkey Business is not the same as the usual consistency of a "normal" cupcake. Elizabeth Desserts has differentiated themselves by going beyond the traditional cupcake idea. I love their cupcakes and can't wait to go back soon! You can check out my full reviews here and here.
