The Best Cupcakes in L.A.
Every so often, ever since cupcakes became a grown-up dessert a few years ago, some bakery item will cause a mini-sensation and be called "the new cupcake." Well, we're calling it. Cupcakes are the new cupcakes. People just like them too much -- they're not going anywhere. And in celebration of that, and the fact that Thursday is National Cupcake Day (there will be frosting-filled rioting in the streets!), we've put together this gallery of our favorite cupcakes in L.A. Enjoy!
