Dec. 15, 2023 is National Lemon Cupcake Day — you know the drill. We had to try Sac’s zestiest, bestiest cupcakes (yes, we really took one for the team, here).
Pushkin’s Bakery | 1820 29th St.
From Pushkin’s Midtown storefront, we bring to you — the Blueberry Lemon cupcake. This bakery is 100% gluten-free, and this cupcake also happens to be dairy-free. Yummy, and easy on the tummy.
Cupcake Craving | 2100 Arden Way, Ste. 169
Founded by three friends in 2007, Cupcake Craving has two locations — one in Sacramento + one in Davis (113 E St.). We tried the Lemon Boost cupcake, made of lemon cake, lemon butter cream, and a tart lemon curd filling.
Icing on the Cupcake | 2416 J St.
This one really is the icing on the cake — the Pucker Up cupcake, to be exact. Lemon cake, lemon butter cream, lemon filling, and an adorable leaf garnish complete this confectionery perfection.
