Yesterday we stopped by Sugarbaby's Cupcake Boutique, and -- O.M.G.! -- If you live in Houston or within driving or flying distance, this is a must-do, must-eat stop on your agenda. Open since 2007, they were the original boutique cupcake bakery in Houston. Why did it take me so long to find this place?! They are located 3100 S. Shepherd, between W. Alabama and Richmond. (And their telephone number is 713/52-SUGAR) Hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 9 am to 7 pm or until they sell out. There is limited parking available -4 spaces- in the front, but there is also a parking lot behind the store off of W. Main.
We got three cupcakes, as difficult as it was to decide and tempting as it was to take one of each. Velvet Rouge (Red Velvet cake with cream cheese icing and a hand-dipped chocolate covered cherry), 24 Carrot Cake (also with cream cheese icing), and Charming Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream. The prices are very reasonable - from $2.75-$3.25 for the larger cupcakes.
The store is decorated in pink, white and black, and has square black and white plates to showcase your cupcake. Even a Sprinkle Bar. Beverages include cold milk - a must! Remember Robert Best from Project Runway, Season 3? He was the Barbie designer - there are three SIGNED prints of his Barbie outfits decorating the walls of the ladies restroom.
We will definitely be back for return visits!
<--------- Sugarbaby's even has a special box, depending upon how many cupcakes you would like "to-go." See the notches on either side so you don't disturb the frosting when temptation's siren call is heard later?
