Fit Trip Comes To Tee & Cakes!

08.09.10

DAY 8 — ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH: Heather suggested a quick coffee at Tee & Cakes before we headed out of town, and (as usual), her recommendation was spot on. This place was incredible! The cupcakes are gorgeous, and they come in cool flavors like Chocolate Bacon, Coca-Cola, and Strawberry Milkshake.

Let’s not talk about how many we ate, or whether cupcakes are an acceptable breakfast. It’s not important. Let’s also not dig too deeply into our theory that the Chocolate Zucchini Whoopie Pie we shared was almost like eating vegetables. Again, not important.

Sugar Monster + Tee & Cakes + Colorado Daily!

Sugar Monster

Let’s face it: First Friday in Boulder is a work in progress. You never know what you’re gonna get until you’ve arrived.

But this week, I’m urging you to go early to experience the true meaning of the word masterpiece: a cupcake from Tee & Cakes, 1932 14th St. For free.

The boutique bakery is hosting an artist reception at 6:30 p.m. Friday for Aya Tanaka, creator of the Sugar Monster, and they’re treating the first 100 visitors to a gorgeous, house-made cupcake gratis! A perfect blend of indulgence and culture, if you ask me.

Nice Wedding Review

Tee and Cakes, just off the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, was my chosen vendor for cupcakes and cake for our wedding. They were awesome!!!

After trying another bakery in town, my mom and I came to Tee and Cakes for a tasting. We knew immediately that this was the place: the cake and icings were an absolute dream AND the price was right. What a bonanza!

I went with cupcakes because, piece for piece, they are significantly less expensive than a decorated cake ($2.50-3 per cupcake vs. $5.50-9 per slice of cake) – and they present much better than an icing-slimed sliver of a traditional wedding cake. In addition, I’m kind of known for my baking prowess – I HAD to have an amazing cake at my wedding or I’d never live it down.

Tee and Cakes delivered the cupcakes and one 8″cake (for cutting!) to the reception on time and arranged them on silver trays as discussed. They also remembered to set a couple cakes aside for my cousin with nut allergies.

My guests loved the arrangement – and the cakes! They could hardly wait until the cake cutting – and then went back for seconds!! Let’s face it – most of the time there’s tons of extra cake left over… not this wedding! We were lucky to have a couple of the vanilla/vanilla cakes left – the chocolate/chocolate and choc/peanut butter ones were history before the first dance!

After the wedding, I had nothing but rave reviews about the cake… it was a hit and I highly recommend Tee and Cakes in Boulder for any cake need (they can do cakes, cupcakes for any occasion!)

This blog post was sent to us from the writer/photographer himself. The pictures are really great and so is the write-up, if we might say so. Check out all the awesome photos and write-ups of places. His slogan: What I Take Will Make You Hungry. He’s right. Pop around on the site and see some really awesome stuff…. like this. PS> Send us your blog posts and reviews and we’ll send along a coupon for a free cupcake.

FROM taylortakesataste.com: The Chocolate Bacon is just as amazing as it sounds. I have had Chocolate covered Bacon, and even tried to create my own Elvis cupcake with candied bacon, but this was superior to all of these. The cake was moist and tender, the chocolate was dark and rich, and the bacon, well do I really need to explain? Ok, I will. The bacon was crispy and salty. It combined with chocolate is really a lethal combination (literally and figuratively, I am sure that if you ate enough chocolate covered bacon you would instantly have a heart attack).

A Supernice Review of Tee & Cakes

Tee & Cakes – my FAVORITE cupcakes in the whole wide world

by 5 people | Log in to rate

Thanks for stopping by my Cupcake Club page

I’ve tried many a cupcake in my day, especially while living in Manhattan for years and riding the wave of cupcake revival. Yet there is one cupcake that knocks me breathless (why breathe when you can use the extra space and time for devouring more cupcake matter?). This is the story of that cupcake.

Tee & Cakes

It’s not just New York and LA where cupcakes are booming; my new home of Boulder, Colorado has quite a few cupcake-focused bakeries as well. Of these, a little fashionable cafe called Tee and Cakes stands out.

Located right off Pearl St in the heart of downtown Boulder, this cafe stands out with its stylish character and friendly staff. Oh, and did I mention the cupcakes are to die for?

What makes this bakery so great?
Let me count the ways

Moist, mouthwatering cupcakes with a wide variety of icings and toppings.
Yummy, off-the-wall flavors like beer and chocolate bacon.
Mini, half-size cupcakes to satisfy those urges without requiring liposuction.
Fair trade brews and rich, foamy cappucinos made with Boulder Organic Coffee.
Friendly staff.

But don’t take my word for it
According to their press page, Tee & Cakes is famous. They’ve been featured on local news stations, The Onion, The Knot, and even Food Network. Yum!

I warned you these look yummy…
