All Organic Lovely Confections

Lovely Confections is an all-scratch bakery made with local and organic ingredients, located in Denver, Colorado. This bakery has been on my list of bakeries to attack since I moved here, and after trying both the Chocolate and the Bee’s Knees Cupcakes, I am pretty bummed I haven’t made it there sooner.  Make sure you keep your eyes peeled when driving down Colfax as it would be easy to miss if you aren’t looking carefully, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Upon walking in, I was hit in the nose with the sweet smell of cupcakes in the air. The owner, Porche and an employee were busy at work behind the counter, icing and baking their sugary treats. The bakery was very open with tables for people to enjoy their cupcakes, drink some hot coffee and take advantage of the free wi-fi. 

The first scrumptious treat I devoured was the Chocolate cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream. At first bite, the words “Brownie Batter” was all I could think of to describe it. And those are some great words to be hearing from my mouth, as Brownie Batter is one of my most favorite things on the planet. On top of the perfect moistness of chocolate cake was a gooey chocolate buttercream that was covered in little tiny chocolate sprinkles. The cupcake was super rich, while also being light at the same time…if that is even possible! 

But the Bee’s Knee’s Cupcake….oh where to begin. The cupcake consisted of a lavender cake with a Honey Lemon Buttercream. The refreshing lemon flavor with a hint of honey Buttercream was to die for; it had a grainy texture that melted in my mouth. It was swirled on top of the cake that had a hint of lavender (my taste buds wished it was a bit more lavender-ie) that again, was the perfect consistency, not too moist but not one bit dry either. This cupcake was my favorite in taste, and decoration, but the chocolate was not far behind in taste! Both were totally worth $3 (each), completely reasonable for the yummy happiness they gave my belly. 

Make sure you don’t miss this bakery when in the mile high city!!

P.S. If you are Gluten-Free, don’t worry…call ahead and you can devour some of their yummy treats too!
