Forget pie and donuts, we’re still super in love with cupcakes. These five spots have some of the best in the city.
The Flour Shoppe
More than a dozen decadent flavours keep us coming back to this pretty shop, especially their s’mores or earl grey (with lemon buttercream) cupcakes.

The Cupcake Lounge
We’re especially fond of the maple cinnamon cupcake at this new shop, but all the fabulous flavours are simply delicious.

Isobel’s Cupcakes & Cookies
Lemon curd and red velvet are two favourites on this shop’s 100 per cent nut-free daily menu, but Fridays have us salivating over the black forest cupcake.
