Smallcakes Cupcakery Food: ★★★★ Smallcakes Cupcakery in Kirkwood is one of my go-to places when I’m craving a sweet treat or for the perfect ending to a fun girls’ day. Their slogan, “Maybe a cupcake will help?” could not be more true. A cupcake makes a fun day of shopping even better or instantly turns a bad day around. A “cupcakery” is just what it sounds like, all they do at Smallcakes is cupcakes and other whimsical cupcake-themed items. Smallcakes has traditional cupcakes, of which they offer several standard flavors, plus specialty flavors that are rotated daily. The store also creates giant-sized cupcakes for parties and events and even has cupcake milkshakes (which I haven’t tried yet but frankly sound amazing.) I decided to stick with one of their standard cupcake flavors and got a peanut butter cup cupcake. If you love Reese’s you will love this cupcake. In fact, this cupcake is probably even better. It’s a rich cupcake but not overly sweet. It had just the right amount of savory flavor with the peanut butter so it didn’t taste like eating a candy bar. However, if you’re not much of a chocolate-peanut butter type, there are plenty of other flavors to choose from. The wedding cake cupcake looked very pretty and very delicious. It is a white cake with almond buttercream topped with pretty edible pearls. Other promising flavors to choose from included a fun hot fudge sundae topped with a cherry and chocolate sauce, a birthday cake flavor coated in tiny rainbow sprinkles, and the classic red velvet cake. Another nice option that Smallcakes offers is gluten-free cupcakes. They will make whichever flavor you like with a gluten-free cake recipe. The atmosphere inside Smallcakes is classic cute, decorated in bright pinks and greens with either tables or couches for seating. It almost has a slight coffee shop feel but with a more cutesy vibe. I would definitely recommend Smallcakes for a fun treat and a cute place to hang out.
