A cupcake? Yes, please!

I was going to start this post by writing about Copenhagen Fashion Week and what's up with next autumn/winter collections, but a very peculiar phenomenon caught my attention while visiting the city of Copenhagen. Cupcakes have taken Copenhagen by storm! 


More and more bakeries specializing in cupcakes have open their doors and the variety of flavors is incredible. I was so intrigued by this whole cupcake thing that I just had to check out few places... First one was Serenity Cupcakes. This incredibly cosy and cute shop opened last August and is ready to fulfill your sugar needs with a long list of both traditional and untraditional flavors. I got to taste quite a few of them, but my favorite, Pumpkin Paradise rose above the others! YUMMY!! 





The second place I visited was Agnes Cupcakes, which surely had some really pretty cupcakes, but did not appeal to me as much due to an interior resembling a fast food joint. For me it's all about the spirit of the shop! ;) 






Then, lastly, I have to mention Cupcakes by Kronborg, which is owned by my very dear friend. She started out the business as a hobby and does the baking at home. I was so lucky to taste her creations and give my own opinion about the flavors of both cakes and toppings. While she's running her cupcake business, she is also studying for Master's Degree AND is a mom for a 1,5 year old! I'm so proud of her! <3
