Sugar & Spice: Best Bakeries in Columbia SC

​{ Columbia Living magazine :: January 2015 }

As charming as the image of June Cleaver baking up cupcakes for the Beev’s classroom party is, the creations of Cupcake DownSouth in the Vista are a dazzling update to a nostalgic treat. These are not your mother’s cupcakes. Imagine flavors like Salted Caramel, or Bourbon Pecan, even Almond! While Cupcake offers all the standard favorite flavors daily, a rotating menu introduces variety such as Red Velvet, Key Lime, Lemon Blueberry, and Chocolate Tuxedo. With some 50 flavors on rotation, there’s always something new to try. Cupcake’s luscious treats piled high with creamy frosting are baked fresh daily using natural ingredients such as vanilla beans and sweet cream butter. Three sizes of rich, moist deliciousness for any appetite. Go ahead. Indulge. 212.4949
