Do any of you wonderful ladies know of a great cupcake shop/bakery that fits the following:

1. Can do semi-exotic flavors (i.e butterscotch/toffee, raspberry creme...)

2. Is located in/around LA

3. Delivers

4. Makes you say "I'd wouldn't trade this cupcake for {fill in your favorite designer shoe/handbag here}!"

Many thanks and aloha!

You are speaking my language! I'd highly recommend Leda's Bake Shop (http://www.ledasbakeshop.com/) in Sherman Oaks. They do a passionfruit curd cupcake that is awesome. They only do large batches only and are no longer available for regular bakery purchases, though. As for the big chains, I prefer Susiecakes over Sprinkles.

I really like cupcakes and must have tried every cupcake maker in the LA area. My favorite is right near the promenade in Santa Monica, next to Sur La Table. I think it was called Yum Cupcakes. They beat Sprinkles on taste and freshness anyday.

Try Yummy Cupcakes. They have a bakery in Burbank and Santa Monica. Our office and clients love them. http://www.yummycupcakes.com/

I'd also suggest Yummy Cupcakes in Santa Monica. They have an amazing Red Velvet. I like them much better than Vanilla down the street and Sprinkles.

My absolute favorite place is Violet's Cakes in Pasadena. They have amazing homemade/gourmet looking cupcakes with a big assortment of buttercream frosting and batter flavors. http://www.violetscakes.com/

Try Auntie Em's Kitchen in Eagle Rock. They might have lost the throwdown against Bobby Flay but definitely good enough to be picked for the thowdown.
