American Cupcake

The next stop on our San Francisco cupcake adventure was American Cupcake on Union Street. It was the perfect pit stop after a bit of walking and an exciting ride on the Muni Bus. The shop was very modern with white tables, chairs, and walls, with pops of colors from the lighting. The cupcakes were also very modern looking with their simple toppings and flavors. American Cupcake also serves brunch, lunch, dinner, and a variety of other delicious desserts. One day we will go back and try all of their other crazy creations such as the Pink Popcorn flavored cupcake or the Red Velvet Fried Chicken (yes the batter is red velvet and they fry it!)

N: I had the Worms and Dirt Cupcake. Worms and Dirt was a fond childhood memory of mine so I wanted to see how it translated in cupcake form, and it did not disappoint. The chocolate cake and the simple buttercream frosting were a perfect match. It was topped with Oreo crumbles which added the perfect crunch and two fun colored gummy worms! A definite two thumbs up!

A: I tried the Black & Tan cupcake. Isn't that also a beer? Well fortunately this cupcake didn't taste like beer. It had a slight coffee flavor. The powder pink frosting on top was the icing on the cake...ha! It was very sweet and creamy. I'm not sure why, but I really like sprinkles. The sprinkles on this cupcake made all the difference. It was a challenge eating this dainty cupcake, daintily! Three thumbs up!
