Ugly Cupcakes + Savory Cookies – don’t hate!
awesome philadelphia bakery
I stumbled on the cutest bakery, just off of South Street in Philadelphia. I had to check it out, ever since I saw the Facebook post about their HOT WING COOKIES. So last week, I headed down to South Street. As I was walking south on 5th Street, the large red logo letters POPPED off of the window, COOKIE CONFIDENTIAL.
I walked in and started talking to the tattooed girl with a huge smile who was behind the counter, turns out, she was the owner!
Let’s eat cake bitch!
Dear Foodiez,
I was so stoked to be asked to help judge the “chef” competition of the Gayborhood Games last Saturday night!

Philly Cupcake Warz
Cupcake Warz
Dear Foodiez,
1 Nite.
11 Judges.
6 Bakeries.
18 Cupcakes.
War is hell! And in this case – very fattening! It may seem like a dream come true – a blind taste test of 18 cupcakes. Trust – it can become overwhelming after …. about bite number …. 9, it’s at this point one realizes …… wait, I’m only half way through. Panic begins to set in as you realize, I’m actually getting sick of cupcakes. LOL~ Then you take a drink of milk, a deep breath and you move on. You dig in and get the job done!
More on the war after the JUMP!!! Read More…

The Truck
Dear Foodiez,
Walking along 12th Street last night I noticed something out of the ordinary. The usual crack hookers that usualy hang at 12th and Locust have been replaced with the “Call Me Cupcake” truck!
The “Call Me Cupcake” truck is committed to spending Fridays from 8 pm – 11 ish in the Gayborhood!
Now if you’re having dinner in the Gayborhood you can grab a cuppie from the truck at 12th and Locust!!
Philly Cupcake wins Best Of The Gayborhood
Philly Cupcake Sweet Potato
Dear Foodiez:
Let the record show that Foodrulez.com gave props to the Sweet Potato cupcake last month!
However, this month, they take the cake from Philadelphia Magazine as Best Snack in the Gayborhood!
Philadelphia Magazine stated, “Philly Cupcake is like falling down the rabbit hole. With mannequins. The to-die-for cupcakes (our faves are Twix Dream and The Massacre) and random stuff dipped in chocolate (Swedish fish!) make Wonderland seem boring.”
Personally, I recall High 5′ing Michael the owner when he told me they have a Twix Cupcake!
Way to go Philly Cupcake! Way to make the gays proud! Now all you need to come up with is a sugar-free, carb free, fat-free cup cake and all the boys leaving 12th St and Fusion will rush in to grab one. Lord knows the boys need to keep the abs poppin’
Philly Cupcake takes the cake!
Sweet Potato Cupcake
Dear Foodeiz:
This summer is going to be fun! I am on an ongoing search for the best cupcake in Philly!
There will be a “Philly Cupcake Warz” at some point, but I really want to get a lay of the land first.
Allow me to introduce you to – Philly Cupcake! It opened 6 months ago at the corner of 12th and Chestnut. I’ve heard good things about it, and couldn’t wait to try it myself.
I gave them a shout out on Twitter, asking which flavor I should try, they Tweeted back – Sweet Potato! Now, having had Easter brunch at Ms. Tootsies and having fallen in love with sweet potato cupcakes, I was all to happy to oblige.
So far there have been a few cupcakes that have moved me: Brooklyn Blackout @ Two Little Red Hens & The Pistachio @ Sugar Sweet Sunshine – Well, move over baby I’m adding the Sweet Potato @ Philly Cupcake to the list.
An incredibly moist cake that was sweet and cinnamony/all spicey at the same time. Rich and creamy – cream cheese frosting – There were pecans mixed IN the cupcake and the icing, there was sweetness, there was moist, there was crunch, there was smooth, there was spicey……. I temporarily lost the ability to see!
It was a wonderful cupcake! They have tons of other flavors – my mouth dropped open when I saw their Twix Cupcake!! I literally, High 5′d Mike, the owner! Twix is one of my favorite candy bars! Woo hoo!! More than tasting good, the cupcakes here are like little works of art. They are built with meticulous care! Swirls of icing, chunks of goodies placed lovingly a top wonderfully flavored cake!
Run – don’t walk to Philly Cupcake!
