Cupcake Berlin
by James Glazebrook
Cupcake Berlin – what’s not to love? The city’s first cupcake shop whisks together beautiful baked goods, cutesy vector graphics, twee interior design and typisch Berliner punk edge (sadly not pictured: Black Flag-inspired tote bags). That brown badboy you can see is The King, a banana chip and peanut butter topped chocolate homage to Elvis – delicious. Zo went with the red velvet which, while not as good as Nicole New Black’s homemade babies, was still pretty pretty good. Great coffee too – although next time I’m leaving room for a Dr Pepper ice cream float. See you in five kilos!
Hi ya’ll… I’m the owner of Cupcake Berlin and I can assure you we were Berlin’s first cupcake shop. We opened in April, 2007 and were in the works since 2006 (one year of research & development.) That’s going on 5 years of loads and loads of work, a million copy-cakes and tons of blood, sweat and tears along the way! Haters hate but I know I’ve worked my ass off and I’m damn proud of what I’ve accomplished. Thanks to the person who wrote the article for your kind words and support. Hope to see ya soon for a cupcake!
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for setting the record straight!
We loved the place when we visited, so we’ll definitely be coming back for more.
See you soon!
Awesome! Shoot me an email and i’ll be sure to set you guys up with some free cakes & coffee!! Take care!
Free coffee and cake FOR LIFE? Sweet!
Just kidding, I’ll drop you a line next time we’re heading down,
Thanks!
first cupcake shop? hardly. they’ve been opening and closing for years now. prenzlberg had a slew of them a couple of years ago. don’t get all the fuss about cupcakes. nothing beats a good pie.
Interessant – I think they’ve been open for 4 years, but no idea if their claim of being the first is true.
Mmmmmm pie
