Cupid's Cupcakes, Katoomba St, Katoomba
Sunday 30 July, 2006

Cupid's opened 6 weeks ago and has joined the scores of cupcake stores that have sprung up all over Sydney. The owners, Phillip & Michelle, have run a successful cake business in the Blue Mountains for years and only recently decided to open a shop front.

It's a cosy space with only enough room for two at the counter. The cupcake display is gorgeous and they sell mini and large cupcakes for a fraction of the cost you would pay in Sydney. Mini cupcakes are $1.50 each and large ones are $3.50.

The cupcakes are actually mud cakes - white and milk chocolate mud cakes prepared in cupcake wrappers and smothered in delicious frosting. Did I say delicious? I meant, divine, decadent, more-ish, addictive.....

Purchases of two cupcakes or more warrant a little white box with tissue paper, so you can take them away and save them for later. I, on the other hand, proceeded to eat mine at the counter while I chatted to Phillip. I learnt that Michelle does all the baking and preparation and also caters for weddings, engagements, birthday and christening celebrations.

They have a display of cupcake themed gifts and some fabulous large porcelain cupcakes on display around the shop front.

Phillip also makes a decent coffee and they source their coffee beans from a speciality roaster in Artarmon. As much as I would have loved to stay and indulge in another cupcake.....lunch beckoned.
