Cupcakes from Republic of Cake
I’ve been feeling so icky all week and when I’m sick, Mr. VV always brings me treats. 
He came home the other day with some cupcakes from a place near us called Republic of Cake.
The cupcake flavors clockwise from the back are: vanilla with chocolate frosting, snickerdoodle (YES!) and Mexican hot chocolate.
I have yet to taste Mexican hot chocolate which has a vanilla cream cheese frosting, caramel and a spicy kick to it, but can I just say the snickerdoodle cupcake was SO GOOD! Moist and perfect density. The frosting was so creamy and not overly sweet with the perfect combination of vanilla and cinnamon sugar. MMMMMMM.
Frosting is everything.
Don’t mind me. Just drooling over here!

Hi Mary,
Ok I won’t mind
Oh dear Lord of the Rings! My mouth actually watered from these gorgeous pictures! Don’t you know you’re by far too good of a photographer to post pictures of sweets that I can’t get here?
They really look SO yummy!

YUM!!! I haven’t been feeling too good either (allergies), so I treated myself to a lunchtime snack of Rocky Road ice cream

!!!!salivating over here!! I have never heard of this place so I googled it to learn that the owner was a pastry chef at Chez Panisse! and it’s on the other side of the tunnel! I am going later today to get myself a snickerdoodle cupcake. Thanks for introducing us to the Republic of Cake!
Hi Cat,
Wow I didn’t know that! I will totally be going there more now that I tasted that cupcake, sooooo good. Oh and if you like a little spice, I tried the Mexican chocolate one also and it’s really tasty!
Oh, and even better, he was one of the worker-owners at Arizmendi’s in Emeryville, a place I frequent far more than I should.. but they really make the best pizza. I think it’s even better than Cheese Board, it’s sister co-op.
I will surely be trying the Mexican Chocolate one too. I’m bummed I don’t have time today to go after all, but come Friday I will be on a cupcake diet for the day!
As a cupcake lover, have you tried any recipes from “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World”? I think most all of her cupcakes taste better than conventional recipes made with milk and butter, and because there’s no dairy, the antioxidants of chocolate and green tea, etc remain intact!
Hi Cat,
You know, I have never been to the Cheese Board? I need to someday.
I’m not sure I have ever tried a Vegan cupcake before. Where is that place?
Kelly, I am shocked you’ve not been to Cheese Board since you’re from Berkeley! When you go, be sure to get a cheese roll. They are amazing!
