Cooks Boulevard in San Francisco had the most delectable event last evening, they hosted “A Cupcake Affair” that featured the top cupcake connoisseurs of San Francisco.  We had the privilege of attending and tasting all the wonderful samples that the best in the business had to offer.  Held in Cooks Boulevard’s luxurious and quaint luxury cookware shop, it was the perfect setting for engaged couples and cupcake fanatics alike to enjoy coffee and scrumptious cupcakes while getting wonderful ideas of what to add to their wedding registry from one of San Francisco’s best cookware shops.  Have a look, these cupcakes are drool worthy!

Noe Valley Bakery had one of the most delicious red velvet cupcakes that I have ever had, and I’ve had many red velvet cupcakes!  What I loved most about their cupcakes was the attention to detail that they incorporated in their cupcakes.  If you look closely, the red velvet cupcake is the last cupcake featured in the image below, and it had the most decadent jeweled candies that topped it.  It was absolutely delicious!

Citizen Cake is probably made famous from their Food Network Presence as well as for their reputation of cakes that taste as amazing as they look.  I tried a sample of their carrot cake and it was divine, especially with the ribbon of caramel that draped it!  Watch out though, Citizen Cakes are known for their generous serving portions, thank goodness today was only a tasting!

Sugar Beat Sweets is an all-women business selling 100% dairy and egg free cupcakes that are vegan friendly!  What I like most about them is that their cupcakes have attitude in presentation and taste.  I had their peanut butter cup cupcake and I was in love, to say that I had to refrain myself from eating a second one is definitely an understatement!

Cups and Cakes Bakery is probably one of the newer kids on the block, but they have definately earned their place in the cupcake world of San Francisco.  This is another bakery that packs huge personality into their cupcakes and one of the things I love most is that the cupcakes are actually served in paper cups!  Their store is opening this week on November 6, be sure to check them out and show a little love.

Doros Sweetiecups is uber creative in their cupcake flavors!  They have amazing cupcake flavor combinations that are truly artisan such as the peach paradise and mojito.  I tried the schnucki cup which was a strawberry cake with white, strawberry frosting and real strawberries..I was in cupcake heaven!  They also had cupcakes prepared in favor boxes to show potential brides and grooms of the possiblity of having a sweet favor.

That Takes the Cake is another well known cupcakery in SF with a slogan of having ingredients of love, kisses and hugs and they sure do taste like them!  They too have unique flavors and the creamiest cupcakes you will ever taste.  Delicious!

If you’re getting married in the San Francisco area, be sure to swing by Cooks Boulevard to see what items you can add to your registry!  They have a shop stocked with kitchen goodness and every item is an item that I would want for my kitchen!  They are also celebrating their 5 year anniversary this month by having awesome culinary classes in their shop all month long!  Nothing is better than learning some tricks in the kitchen with the holiday season coming up.  Thank you again to Cooks Boulevard for having this spectacular event and for inviting all of us to come and enjoy samplings of some of the best cupcakes that San Francisco has to offer!
