I have had many cupcakes in my time, but nothing beats Brown Betty in Philadelphia. I don't know what they put in them but the result is heavy, addictive, and just yummy goodness. I am not a fan of Magnolia Bakery (too sweet), Cupcake Cafe (too pretty), or Crumbs (just average.) Somehow, Brown Betty combines some amazing icings with the right texture, amount of sweetness and density to provide a satisfying cupcake experience. The velvet cupcake from New York's Two Little Red Hens is the only close contender. More about THAT particular cupcake later.
