I went to the Wedding Cake Shoppe a week after going to Miss Cora’s Kitchen. One of the masterminds behind this shoppe, placed second during a Food Network Challenge. Though I had been disappointed by Miss Cora’s Kitchen, I went into the Wedding Cake Shoppe with high hopes. I purchased a Caffe Mocha Cupcake and a Spiced Chai Latte, which I feel were the perfect choices for my coffee/cupcake love affair.

This cupcake was absolutely amazing. I am obviously a huge caffeine addict, so the combination of coffee, chocolate and cupcakes has me in heaven. The icing on the Caffe Mocha cupcake was mousse-like, making it very light with a hint of coffee taste. The crunchy coffee bean on top was the cherry on top for someone like me. The cake was perfectly moist, combining perfectly with the icing.

The Spiced Chai Latte Cupcake was not as good as the Caffe Mocha cupcake, but it was still better than many I’ve had. The icing had a hint of flavour, but was much thicker, making it a heavier icing. As a result there was not as much icing on the cupcake, which I thought worked well well this style of icing. The cake was very similar, nice and moist. While I wasn’t as fond of this cupcake, it is a unique flavour I haven’t seen before, and I feel like it would be good for the person that prefers cupcakes with less icing.

The shop is located near College & Ossington, making it a bit out of the way from my usual College St/Kensington excursions, but on a nice day the walk was pleasant. As they do wedding cake consultation, there are a lot of tables in the shop. The atmosphere is very stimulating as there are lots of pretty cakes to admire in the window. They serve coffee there as well, though I didn’t eat in the shop.

Overall, the Wedding Cake Shoppe offered up a really good cupcake, and I would highly recommend checking it out. So far it they served up the best cupcakes I have found in Toronto.
