Yummy Cupcakes Review and Giveaway

Sweets are my ultimate weakness. I eat and maintain a healthy diet but for some reason I can't get enough of freshly baked, warm from the oven cookies, or a delicious piece of lemon cake. Everyone knows that at any given time, I always have some kind of delicious sweet treat in my kitchen. :)



Yummy Cupcakes is a dessert company started by Tiffini Soforenko in 2004. Her then 2 year old son Logan came up with the name for the company because he was always asking for more of her "yummy cupcakes."

All of their gourmet cupcakes and cupcake products are baked from scratch every morning and all day long by their talented pastry chefs who all hold degrees from various Culinary Institutes, a culinary standard of excellence. These yummy cupcakes are baked right on site in the Yummy Cupcakes kitchens. In fact, it is known that one can enjoy the fresh baked aroma as they come out of the oven and on to the cooling racks for frosting in the kitchen.

They care a great deal about the quality of our cupcakes. Yummy Cupcakes are made using wholesome, quality ingredients such as sweet creamery butter; whole milks, buttermilks and whipping cream. Pure cane sugars and flours along with fresh whole fruits, fruit juices and zests are used. You can't forget the rich quality chocolates, the Madagascar Bourbon vanilla bean and ranch fresh eggs that are used as well. The cupcakes contain no preservatives.

Their gourmet cupcakes have a dense buttery richness with quality you can taste. They are different from all the rest. You will agree when you taste them!

Yummy Cupcakes has quite a range of flavors to make your sweet tooth happy. Are you in the mood for something bursting with chocolate flavor? How about chocolate covered macaroon or orange chocolate? They even have a chocolate chip pie flavor which sounds awesome to. How about something fruity for you? Yummy Cupcakes serves berry pie, Nana's bananas, and lemon tart along with many other delicious fruit flavors. What is so interesting to me is the unique and fun combinations that are available too. Did you ever think you would be trying a peanut butter and jelly cupcake or a tomato soup cupcake? I bet not! What about a pancakes and bacon cupcake? They even have a hot tamale cupcake! Yummy Cupcakes provides a sugar free and vegan menu for those individuals that are looking for those options.

A fun treat that Yummy Cupcakes offers is a cupcake in a jar. It comes in a small, medium, and large size and would make a perfect gift for the upcoming holidays. I was sent a "fudge yummy" cupcake in a jar and I couldn't have been more pleased with it! There are so many other mouth-watering flavors that I know you will just love.

The cupcake in a jar is a unique alternative to a regular cupcake in a paper liner and I welcome the change! :)


Signature chocolate cupcake, layered with chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream and pure semi sweet chocolate sprinkles.

Doesn't that look simply to die for? Well it was! When I first opened the jar, the aroma of chocolate wrapped its heavenly scent around my entire heart. I love that I could distinctly see each layer of chocolate goodness. The deep rich color of the chocolate was beautiful. I couldn't wait to dig in!

Upon first bite I instantly tasted the moist and airy cupcake, mmm! The next layer was fabulously rich chocolate ganache which was simply excellent. It was melt in your mouth delicious! The chocolate buttercream was sweet and fluffy. The buttercream and ganache gave the treat a layer of structure and depth which I enjoyed. The sprinkles added an element of fun that I really liked since I use sprinkles on my cupcakes. This is seriously a chocolate lover's dream and each bite was better than the last. The cupcake is best enjoyed with an icy glass of milk. I urge you to try any cupcake in a jar flavor, you will not be dissatisfied.
