Fairy Cakes

The cupcake craze of the 2010s may be over, but don't tell that to the folks at this cute little bakery-café that still busily turns out cupcakes in a range of creative flavors ("Pancakes and Bacon" specimens come topped with maple buttercream and real bacon, and the "Original Buffalo Hot Wing Cake" is a seductive marriage of rich chocolate and spicy cayenne pepper), a selection of "adults only" cupcakes made with rum and other potent libations, and a modest selection of other desserts. If nothing else, Fairy Cakes is worth a visit if only to experience the whimsical decor: an almost dollhouse-like setup in cheery pastel colors, truly befitting its name.
