Best food in Melbourne: Little Cupcakes

[Little Cupcakes la meilleure boutique de cupcakes de Melbourne, un plaisir pour les yeux, des cupcakes délicieux, du très bon café, le tout situé dans mon quartier préféré !]

Little Cupcakes

OK, there is little chance that you haven't visited or even heard of the Little Cupcakes if you live in Melbourne and happen to have a soft spot for cupcakes.

But just in case you haven't. Places like this are the reason why I will never be skinny. There is just too much sweet goodness in the world.
The shop in itself is already very sweetly decorated, with a very friendly and cosy atmosphere, if you do get a chance to find a spot on one of the two wooden tables.
Their coffee is excellent and actually a fair bit cheaper than most cafes around. But let's get to the point, the cupcakes! Probably the sweetest little things I have ever tasted but when it tastes this good, there is no amount of sweetness I cannot handle. They have a wide range of flavours (but they aren't all available everyday) and all come in two sizes. I know that their best-seller is the Red Velvet, but my personal favourites are the Strawberry and the Cookies 'N Cream ones.

In my opinion, what is the best about them is the icing, the trickiest thing to get right with cupcakes. Theirs is always very creamy and smooth, never dry.
As you would expect from a champion cupcake store, they are also beautifully decorated, in a very simple but cute way, not that you get to admire the work of art for very long before gulping them down.
You can also order them in advance and take them to client meetings for instance, as I used to do all the time.
And last but not least, they are located on one of my favourite streets of Melbourne, Degraves St, conveniently tucked in between Flinders St Station and the best part of Flinders Lane.

Cupcakes !

Ca fait un petit moment que j'essaie de masteriser l'art du cupcake : une base moelleuse sans être trop grasse et le glaçage à la consistence parfaite (le plus dur). Je suis plutôt ravie de cet essai, qui s'approche grandement du résultat recherché !
Normalement je me décarcasse un peu plus sur la décoration (ce qu'il y a de plus fun avec les cupcakes) mais je n'avais que ces petits confettis sous la main. Au lieu de ça, j'ai donc expérimenté avec les couleurs et la taille des cupcakes (j'ai trois moules : pour les mini, moyens et gros cupcakes).
Bon weekend !

I have been trying to master the art of cupcakes for a while now : a fluffy base that is not too greasy and the perfect consistency for the icing (which is the hardest bit). I am rather pleased with this trial, it comes very close to the desired result.
Usually, I try to be a bit more creative with the decoration (the funniest bit!) but all I had at hand were these little sprinkles. Instead I tried different colours and sizes (I have three baking trays for mini, medium and large cupcakes).

Have a good weekend!
