Elizabethan Desserts


The bestest bakery in the whole wide world is nestled right here in Encinitas.
 If you have not already had the pleasure, may I introduce you to Elizabethan Desserts?



While they offer a wide selection of desserts, I've only tried the cupcakes.

They are orgasmic.

I consider myself quite the cake expert as I have tried "Cupcake Joy" in Solana Beach and "Nothing Bundt Cakes" in Del Mar, as well as several other cupcakes from various bakeries. Elizabeth, the owner of the Elizabethan Desserts, puts all other bakeries to shame. Her cupcakes have real butter in the frosting so they have to be kept refridgerated until you're ready to eat them and even then you can't just take them out the fridge and take a bite; you have to let them settle down to room temperature so they are nice and soft.

 Ever heard of such a high maintenance cupcake?

 I didn't think so.

 Surely thats a sign of a truely wonderful scrumdillyumptious creation.



My two favorite cupcakes are the Bee's Knees (Chocolate cake with honeycomb frosting) and the Grasshopper (Chocolate cake with mint frosting). Definitely worth more than double the asking price!


Elizabethan Desserts is located on the corner of Quail Gardens Drive and Encinitas Blvd, nestled in the Sunshine Gardens Nursery. To learn more visit their website.
