The Best Cupcakes in Toronto

The best cupcakes in Toronto are moist, decadent, pretty as a picture and just as delicious with a veritable rainbow of flavours to choose from. Mini cakes set the stage for luscious buttercream, sweet sugar frosting or other toppings. Even gluten-free eaters can get in on the fun with all the yummy options in the city.
