Seattle's into offering people things that are popular when they were kids. We have kickball, lots of parks, and skating rinks. We also have something that appeals to the foody in us all: add to the list the joy that is Cupcake Royale.
Cupcake Royale is a coffee shop and cupcake bakery in Ballard. The store is centrally located on Market street and offers an open and brightly lit space (not to mention a warm and cozy atmosphere for these cold winter months). And, quite simply, they offer some of the best cupcakes I've ever had.
Royale offers several varieties of cupcakes, including yellow cake, chocolate cake, red velvet cake, and frostings with flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, orange, lavender. And of course there's sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles.
Why am I so excited about friggin cupcakes? Because they're excellent, that's why. The cake is light and flavorful, but not too sweet. The frosting is creamy and rich, and pairs with the cake perfectly. Best of all, the size is just right for a small (but rich) dessert; no need to order a gigantic slice of German Chocolate Cake to get a sugar fix here.
We now go out of our way to drive to Ballard to grab a couple of cupcakes. I think I need a frequent buyer's club of sorts. A delivery service would be better. No, scratch that; that would be dangerous.
