A few months ago my friend Jessica started talking about somebody she referred to as “the cupcake angel.” When I asked her who this woman was and why she was being given such a title she said, “cuz she’s from heaven.” Well that wasn’t quite enough information for me so I had to investigate for myself.
Flash forward to the following Saturday where I find myself inside the cutest, quaintest little bakery I have ever seen, complete the kind of checkerboard floor that should go in every bakery in the world in my opinion. The front room of the converted house has gorgeous displays of unbelievable wedding cakes, each of which looks entirely too good to be real. However I was quickly steered toward the small two bistro tables in the next room, perched directly in front of the counter that houses the cupcake case.
To just call them cupcakes is really not enough of a description. They are really miniature cake creations. Unlike any other place in town that simply has one of two flavors of cake topped with standard buttercream and sprinkles, Lisa’s has something way beyond what you have ever had in a cupcake. From the the triple chocolate that has a towering swirl of chocolate and chocolate kiss on top of a moist chocolate cupcake to the banana pudding cupcake which is basically banana covered sin in a little paper wrapper, they are above and beyond anything I have had before. Now while I can’t verify whether on not Lisa the owner is actually descended from heaven, I can say that after eating some of her cupcakes, you will for sure start to wonder!
Oh! She makes actual cakes too. And much like the little mini morsels of deliciousness she creates, her large cakes are equally as tasty and also lovely to look at. Her bakery did the cake for my dad’s 70th birthday, and everyone at the party was floored at how wonderful the cake looked and tasted. If you are anywhere near the central Arkansas area (or within driving distance), it’s totally worth your time to make a trip to Lisa’s. Visit her online at http://lisascakeboutique.com.
