CakeStar

After catching up with a friend recently and as I was driving her home she casually said, «Oh, did you know CakeStar are having Cupcake Friday? 4 cupcakes for $ 12. They’re right near my place we should stop in.»
Who am I to say no to a cupcake?! So stop in we did and there are no regrets. We got a vanilla, chocochino, red velvet and peanut butter (the latter two are only made on a Friday).
I’ve had CakeStar cupcakes before and they are by far the best I’ve tasted in Brisbane. They’re the perfect balance of creamy icing, moist cake and flavour. They do also make specialty cakes — perfect for any occasion.
The best bit about CakeStar? They know cupcakes and cakes like the back of their hand and that’s what they specialise in. There’s no cupcake slash coffee shop here. If you’re coming to CakeStar you’re coming for one reason: delicious, made with love and fresh cupcake delights.

This little establishment is such a treat! I found out about this place when a friend was organising her wedding. I stumbled upon their business card and was instantly intrigued. When I found out they did cupcakes I had to check it out for myself! I came here with the expectation that they were a cupcake café of sorts, but unlucky for me, they weren’t. There are no tables or chairs, it is where the business of cupcake and cake making take place. They do however have some adorable cupcakes for sale which which walk-​in customers can buy. Yippy! I get a cupcake after all.
The cupcakes were super yummy! They have the perfect balance of fluffiness, richness and sweetness. I wish I could make them this good. But then again, this is why CakeStar is in the business of making cakes. Its creators are so talented, not only in baking the cake with the perfect harmony of ingredients, but in designing and applying the final touches. This is what sets them apart.
I have only come here for the cupcakes but I am certainly returning for the next event in my life where a cake is required! Take a look at their gallery on their website and you will see why. Amazing!
