I have crucial tasks when it comes to road tripping and finding good cupcakes is one of them. Lo and behold, I found some. Uptown Girl Cupcakes and Desserts. How cute is this place?! Lots of bright, bold, effeminate colors, it’s no surprise that its run by two fun, creative women. Part boutique, part haven for the sweets lovers, Yvonne Overson and Melynda Harjes know their stuff.  I tried that Coffee and Donuts one you see pictured, and that other one right there is the Fat Elvis, a flurry of banana, peanut butter and bacon. Speaking of desserts, they also make a beer lovers cake! I got stars in my eyes just looking at them!  Starting as a food truck, Uptown Girl has a permanent storefront off 3rd Avenue in downtown White Bear Lake and is my last stop before making the trek to Princeton. But don’t worry, I’ll be back in the fall for apple pie cupcakes and peach cobbler.
