Dolcissimo

Okay, I admit, I am a self proclaimed amateur "Foodie". I love the Food Network and their programming. With that said, dessert should be an appetizer. We should always eat our dessert first. That way you will always have room for dessert! If you haven't heard of the (somewhat) new craze of "Cupcake Shops" than you have been missing out. Cupcakes have always been the step-child to other desserts. Served at birthday parties and gatherings where kids are the main focus of the event. At Dolcissimo, their treats are almost too good for kids!

Dolcissimo cupcakes are the Star of the show. When you walk in, you find yourself in an almost Disney atmosphere. The decor is whimsical and fun. As you look at the perfectly decorated cupcakes, they almost look like a display to show you what the perfect cupcakes should look like.
The presentation makes you want to try everything. The menu is a little overwhelming your first time. They have "Daily Flavors" that are baked every day. Red Velvet, Diva (my favorite), Chocolate Fantasy, and Cloud 9. These apparently are tried and true. They also have a weekly schedule with different flavors each day.

I have tried several but not all and here is my list:
Tiramisu, great flavor. My daughters favorite.
Strawberry Shortcake, although I love strawberry shortcake, I thought that the white cake was not very good. The cake almost seemed under baked and doughy.
Red Velvet, I was suprisingly under impressed.
Snickerdoodle, very good.
Diva, the chocolate cake was amazing and the icing was perfect. Hands down my favorite.

Dolcissimo is a terrific addition to our community. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out! Treat yourself, your kids, or someone on their Birthday and you will be remembered over that $5.00 Birthday card.

Cupcakes are a funny thing. We tend to feel that we are too old for these small cakes, but let me tell you something, this is not only the best cupcake that I have ever eaten, but it might even be the best cake that I have eaten too! Dolcissimo is a great addition to our area. I know that Orange County and West Los Angeles are two areas that have a saturation of shops like this. I consider us pretty fortunate that we have a specialty shop like this. Give it a try, you will be glad that you did.

The new cupcakery store is located in Shoppe 3010 next door to Peets Coffee & Tea. Dolicissimo is a cupcake's throw from from P.F. Chang China Bistro and California Pizza Kitchen.
