Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen

Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen is located at 30 Main St. in Vista, CA. They specialize in cupcakes but offer a variety of other desserts.

I ventured to Little Cakes on Saturday to fulfill my cupcake craving. To my surprise there were at least eight different flavor choices. Little Cakes offers unique flavors like Almond Champagne and Pancakes and Bacon. Look at these beauties:

They also had mini New York Cheesecakes and Becksters available. What is a beckster you may ask? Only the best invention to ever come out of the dessert world. A beckster is two cookies, sandwiched together with buttercream and dipped in chocolate ganache. I asked the employee working, Teresa, why they are called becksters, she said “The owner’s wife is named Becky, and she specializes in cookies. These were her creation.” She informed me that becksters are usually available Fridays and Saturdays and they are always a different flavor. The one I have pictured here is two espresso cookies, with a coffee buttercream, dipped in dark chocolate ganache.
