JoeAnn's Corner

So after Lee's comments in the last post regarding deserts - I was motivated to post regarding my fav cupcake place in LA! Now just to let you know, prior to Hotcakes, I was a Sprinkles fan even though they were too sweet. The cake was tasty and the flavors were awesome!

Then I had Hotcakes and it was all over! So logistics

As requested by a colleague:
Hotcakes
4119 Centinela
Los Angeles, CA

There is parking in the back. Now onto the most important things. Hotcakes serves both full sized and baby cupcakes. I personally prefer the smaller ones as I can try several flavors.

The only one I get full sized is the Boston creme pie, which is not done is a smaller size. This cupcakes is yellow cake with a creme center and the top is dipped in chocolate - simply fabulous!



Look at those little baby cupcakes - don't cha just want to grab it and stuff your face :-). I have tried several and they are all pretty fabulous. The standouts are def Boston creme pie and Red Velvet.


Being from the south, I am pretty finnicky about this flavor. However, this red velvet is as good if not better then our wedding cake - which is saying something!



The reason these cupcakes are so good is that not only is the cake moist and tasty, the frosting is not too sweet - the combo of the two spectacular. Neither cake nor frosting overwhelm each other - rather they complement each other very well.

This is worth the drive if you can make it!
