Whodidily Cupcakes

I am picky about baked goods, and I am so happy to have found Whodidily! What a treat! Amanda helped us and she is a doll :-)
So far, my favorite is the Whodidily, a version of a Boston cream pie. YUM!!! But I still have a few in a pack that I haven’t gotten to yet ;-)
Go there and ENJOY!!!
Realized that I never «finished» this review from 4/11…Sadly, Whodidily closed shop this past Christmas season. They are still my favorite cupcake place to date. RIP

A cupcake shop: Awesome
A cupcake shop that is decorated as cute as this one: Awesomer
Friendly service. Good cupcakes. I personally lie Crushcakes better — but these are still very good!

I’m a big Sprinkles fan and we walked by this place but it was closed after 7pm. The bakery was very small and I saw cupcakes on display so I had to come back the next morning.
I got there at 10:08 am and the girl who was working was very nice.
I got to try the Whipple Scrumptious (Red Velvet cake lightly sprinkled with mini chocolate chips) which is their most popular cupcake, but it wasn’t that good compared to the red velvet from Sprinkles.
I got the Oreo Dollop (Oreo cookie cake with Oreo butter cream frosting topped with Oreo cookies) and the frosting was my favorite part of the cupcake. The cake was just ok. I was very happy to know that the girl helping me gave me a fresh baked cupcake too versus the ones I saw from the night before — Thanks!
As Dylan C. said in his Unilocal review, I’ll never cheat on Sprinkles again. :)

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this place!!! Normally these fancy schmacy cupcakes don’t impress me. However, the Lazy Daisy was reallymoist and the frosting was not overwhelming like I thought it would be.
Lazy Daisy was a vanilla cupcake with white chocolate chunks, and a vanilla buttercream with sugar crystal sprinkles on top.
We also tried the one w/​green frosting, which was OK, but the chocolate cake was less moist than the vanilla.
Lastly I had a bite of the mini oreo cupcake, which was also pretty good.
I will have to come by and try other flavors!

The cupcakes are sooo cute! But you can’t rate a cupcake just on how they look. They have to taste good too.
I’m sad that I can only give them 3 stars, but the one cupcake I had was just sickeningly sweet! One bite and I could feel my waistline expanding. And I’m pretty sure my blood glucose level reached an all time high. Sometimes more is not better. Just ’cause you pile on the frosting doesn’t mean it makes the cupcake taste better. There has to be a balance.
We ordered these for a bridal shower. Every single one of them looked almost too cute to eat! They are not very big so I don’t think it’s worth $ 3.50 each. For every bite of frosting, I had to take at least 2 bites of cake. Looking around, I saw that a lot of people had frosting left over on their plates. I only tried the Scrumdidily cupcake. It was a vanilla cupcake with hot pink butter cream frosting and a cookie dough center. I love cupcakes, but I didn’t even have a desire to try another one or take any of the leftovers home with me. That’s how excessively sweet they were! It kind of turned me off. At least the cookie dough center was a nice surprise and the cake itself was good.

Arrived at 4pm, there was 1 other couple in the store & they were being helped by the only employee we saw. The store was not warm & inviting. The cupcake selection was minimal. The names were not at all descriptive. I looked over to my right & saw a description of each cupcake on the wall — it should have been in the case under each cupcake’s «whimsical» name. We quickly noticed that the cupcakes were either chocolate cake or vanilla cake w/​flavored frosting. They were $ 3.50 ea, $ 42.00 for a dozen… ya, «Eek! Methinks not!» We would not pay $ 3.50 for a plain old chocolate or vanilla cupcake w/​a mound of flavored frosting and other stuff on top! We left with no cupcakes.
I checked out their website. They are not environmentally friendly. They do donations but say «If you don’t hear from us, it is because we were unable to participate»… would it kill them to send a postcard response to the people who took the time to send them a written request?

My new favorite cupcake joint! Sweet, moist, decadent frostings and a super friendly staff.
I thought Famous Cupcakes used to blow doors off of Sprinkles, but they changed recipes or something and I have been searching ever since.
Here is the new Queen of the Cupcake Hill! The Peanut Butter was ka pow! The new Queen Bee, a honey based cupcake, was intense. We tried six kinds and they were all incredible.
It’s worth the trip to Montecito.

Cute location, great service, yummy cupcakes.
These cupcakes don’t rely on the frosting to make them delicious. It can be a little pricey but it’s nothing out of the range of say, Sprinkles or any other cupcake shop.
Parking is in front, not sure whether to call it private or street parking… either way. Never had the «lot» be full, though there are other places to park nearby.
Workers are very friendly and never without a smile.
One con is that if they sell out of cupcakes, they close shop — but hey, that’s nothing too serious (:
Whenever you order, it comes in a cute pink box, wrapped in ribbon, with a little jewel hot glued onto it.
Either way, delicious. Definitely a place to stop by and try!

Popped in to pick up some cupcakes for my little 9-​year old sister for no special occasion whatsoever. When she is not discussing marine biology, writing sketch comedy or partaking in figure skating competitions, she is drooling over the show Cupcake Wars. Whodidily was featured on this show once.
This is a super adorable shop – oozing pink and sprinkles and little bows everywhere. I think I got a contact high from sugar just by standing in the store. The owners are like the friendliest, most energetic shop keepers I have encountered in a long time. They helped me pick out the following flavors for my little sis:
(1) Peanut butter yumtious (chocolate and PB)
(2) Lolligager (chocolate with cookie dough in the center)
(3) Happy birthday (chocolate with sprinkles)
(4) Whipple scrumptious (red velvet)
Everything was wrapped up in a nice container with a bright pink bow. When I gave them to my little sister she literally squealed for several minutes, rolled around on the floor and then said, «You’re like the best sister in the entire world.»
I already knew this. But it doesn’t hurt to hear it once in a while.
My whole family hacked into the cupcakes after dinner and everything was absolutely delicious too. I don’t even like frosting and I was like, wow, this is really good!

Fun is the operative word. The store is really girly but since I am a girl, I love. I was once a Sprinkles fanatic but Whodidily is a little different and to me, slightly better. Paying 4 bucks for a single cupcake is kinda ridic but at least at Whodidily, the flavors and ingredients are interesting enough to make it worth it. These cupcakes aren’t overbearingly sweet and rich but they still taste gourmet, which is all that counts. Thank god they opened a location on State Street.

Whodidily is scrump-​didily-​umptious!
I felt like I had walked into the love child of Willy Wonka and Dr. Seuss. The counters were filled with sprinkles, pink was dripping out the doors, candy nutcrackers greeted you, and each cupcake was named with a silly little twist.
We were on our way back to LA getting close to closing time and called ahead. Our lovely sales person gave us directions and was sure to stay open to ensure we got our treats. He even came out and gave us a description of each cupcake and provided an explanation (love that kind of service!).
I got the wafflicious special (maple and cinnamon cupcake) and the whipple scrumptious (red velvet). Both were delicious, baked to perfection and looked like they came right out of a cartoon. They were so cute I almost didn’t want to eat them… almost.
These cupcakes were the definition of eye candy and my only wish is that they move closer to LA so I can gorge every day.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really liked the cupcakes here! I wasn’t expecting to be wowed, especially after seeing how cute the cupcakes were and how cute (or tacky depending on how you see it) the packaging is with the pink ribbon and rhinestone. In my cupcake eating experience, I have found that very cute cupcakes and cute packaging are normally there to compensate for the flavor and quality of the cupcake. However, like I said, I was pleasantly surprised! The cake is moist and flavorful. The frosting may be a tad too sweet for me, but overall, I do loooove the cupcakes!
Every time I go to Santa Barbara, I always make sure to make a pit stop at Montecito to get at least 4 cupcakes for home :)

I visited Whodidily on my way back to LA from UCSB Halloween. Luckily, my Halloween weekend wasn’t filled with sweets, because Whodidily’s cupcakes are sugary enough to last me a while.
The girl manning the shop was super adorable, and she really impressed me with her ability to name every type of cupcake and its ingredients. It’s a cute touch, and it made me feel welcome as a customer.
The shop’s décor is as glittery as their cupcakes… Most everything in the shop is pink or gold and sparkly. I’m a sucker for cute packaging, so I was hella into the plastic rings that topped the cupcakes and the hot pink and gold to-​go boxes.
I tried the Lazy Daisy, a vanilla cupcake with white chocolate chunks and vanilla buttercream frosting. It was ridiculously sweet, but, surprisingly, not in a bad way! The white chocolate chunks really added to the cupcake and gave it an interesting flavor and texture. I also loved the buttercream frosting because it legit tasted like it had butter in it. I love butter. So good.
I ended up eating half of the cupcake (it was what I had for breakfast, post-​drinking) and putting the rest in the fridge. The next day, I’d venture to say that it was better. The cupcakes don’t maintain their soft texture, but they are nice cold.
$ 3.50 is a little steep for a cupcake, and they are smaller than the cupcakes at Sprinkles. I’d say Whodidily has enough unique cupcake characteristics to make it worth a try, though.

My sister and I visited California from Chicago. My sister wanted to visit a cupcake shop while we were on vacation. We couldn’t find «Yummy Cupcakes» in Santa Barbara but passed Whodidily Cupcakes while on a Trolley Tour in Santa Barbara — we decided to check them out.
The place is super cute — the staff are dressed in fairy attire and VERY friendly. Upon entering the store we got the entire menu described to us… then we made our purchases. My sister bought 4 which all contained Peanut Butter in some way. I bought a red velvet cupcake, and one of their special Halloween cupcakes. Note: do not travel with cupcakes… they did alright but didn’t survive entirely so I ended up having the red velvet on the plane, and the Halloween cupcake back at home — they were tasty but I think would have been better if consumed right away. Cupcakes are $ 3.50 each

Do wah Whodidily Whodidily dum Whodidily do
Whodidily Cupcakes!
The name alone deserves five stars
Whodidily Cupcakes is a pretty small cupcakery, located in the beach city of Montecito, about five minutes from Santa Barbara. The shop itself is a pink lovers paradise. The color pink is everywhere the eye can see. Once you get past all the pink you are greeted by a large cupcake display filled with lots of eye catching cupcakes. The menu at Whodidily is actually fairly large considering how small the shop is. They have about ten flavors that they offer daily plus about three or four daily specials. Since I had never been to Whodidily before, and since I’m rarely in this area of California, my girlfriend and I decided to buy a half dozen of their cupcakes. These are the cupcakes we purchased from Whodidily
Monkey Love– Banana cake baked with chocolate chips in the cake, topped with a chocolate cream cheese frosting with a caramel drizzle.
The Whodidily– Confetti cake with a vanilla cream center, topped with a fudge frosting, rainbow sprinkles and mini candy kisses
Waffleicious– Buttery cinnamon cake topped with a maple buttercream frosting and a small piece of a waffle
Lazy Daisy– Vanilla cake baked with white chocolate chunks into the cake, topped with peanut butter frosting and rolled in blue or orange sprinkles (we got one of each)
Rum A Dum Dum– Vanilla cake with coconut, pineapple and rum baked into the cake, topped with a coconut pineapple buttercream frosting and coconut shavings
Not only were all these cupcakes pretty (especially the packaging) but they were also really tasty. All the cakes were really moist and every frosting was thick, creamy and sweet. Actually, my favorite thing about Whodidily is their frosting’s. One thing I can’t stand is when a cupcakery only has two or three different flavors of frosting’s. Every single frosting we tried had a different flavor and texture. Out of the five different cupcakes we bought my favorite had to be the Rum A Dum. The cake was packed full of huge juicy pieces of pineapples and lots of sweet coconut. The frosting was phenomenal. It had such a sweet fruity flavor.
The prices here were a little more than most cupcake shops. For a half dozen cupcakes it was $ 21 dollars, which equals $ 3.50 a cupcake. The average price for a gourmet cupcake is usually $ 3.25. The girl who was working at Whodidily the day we visited was really friendly. She went over all their flavors with us and also gave us some recommendations on what to try since it was our first visit.
If your ever in the Montecito/​Santa Barbara are and feel like some tasty cupcakes then you should check out Whodidily. If you’re a fan of cupcakes or the color pink, then you’re sure to love this place.

Trying this one more time since my last post got flagged for my excitement.
I’m a fattie, and I mean it when I say it, this is the best cup cake place I’ve gone to by far. Yes it’s expensive, get over it, if you want to taste an ADVERTISED «buttercream» icing, you will get it here, you will taste it, I promise. If not I will paypal you the $ 3.50 your money back.
Plus Dave is a sweet heart, and they’re always very nice there.

They have mini cupcakes now! The adorable minis are about ½ frosting, ½ cake. I tried a couple minis (Chocolate Fluff, Vanilla Dream) and even after several days of sitting around, the cake was always moist and delicious. The frosting has a nice consistency, thick, smooth and luscious — and I haven’t figured out how they get the frosting to look so distinctive and so perfect (cupcake fairies are involved, I suspect). For me there’s too much frosting and it’s too rich, but I’m sure many people would love the cake-​to-​frosting ratio.
The cupcakes were enjoyed and liked by the family — and they’re picky about their cupcakes. I’m sure they must have Easter cupcakes because they even had St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes (Irish Mint).

I reviewed this place when it was called Sprinkles on Top until Sprinkles from LA threatened then with a lawsuit on some sort of infringement issue…
anyway, I think my rating last time was a 2 and i stand my my meager 2 star rating.
the deco of the store still does not draw me in. my co worker happen to bring in a dozen the other day and I had one, it was the red velvet and after, I felt like my mouth had been coated with something… whatever it was, it was some ingredient which they use to make the cupcake moist but it makes you feel very icky after eating it.
The cupcakes aren’t decorated that cute nor are they that appealing… maybe it’s just a preference, but I think Crush cakes is so way better…

Oh. My. Goodness.
These little cupcakes are absolutely delightful. The names are ridiculous — I felt a little like Ned Flanders when I ordered (I’ll take the giggly-​scrumpdiddlyumptious please) but it’s so worth it. Perfect blend of flavor and sweetness.
The homemade aprons hanging by the cash register are adorable, too. Sadly, they are not for sale :(

Yes, we all know that I am a cupcake eating whore and am on a permanent quest to find the perfect cupcake.
I am not sure if it does exist, but this place is pretty darn close.
Cute shop! Good selection. The owner was hilarious! Such a nice lady. By the way, she is super professional — I talked smack about another store and she did not jump in on my bashing. Thanks!
Red Velvet cupcake icing is my absolute favorite and she sure has nailed that cream cheese icing here. My dad said the peanut butter cupcake actually tasted, well, like peanut butter! Imagine that.
Great place. Now go stuff your face!
