Bananas Foster Cupcake at Cups and Cakes Bakery, $2.15 mini, $3.25 regular
Although it's often a shocker to us, some folks out there aren't into super-sweet snacks. And, thankfully, there's a cupcake out there that satiates this need. Enter Cups and Cakes Bakery, which not only offers tiny, bite-sized servings, but also relatively unsugary cakes combined with inventive frostings that channel root-beer floats, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Thai iced tea, and more. Our favorite of the bunch is the Bananas Foster, a combo of banana cake, brown-butter buttercream frosting, and caramel drizzle. It tastes so much like banana bread, we think it makes eating cupcakes for breakfast almost acceptable.
