Flour + Butter - CLOSED

Flour + Butter is a bakery that specializes in cupcakes, cakes, and macarons. They are located on the ground floor of the Imperial Plaza facing Cooke Street. I recommend trying their cupcakes because the cake is moist and the frosting is not overly sweet. My favorite so far has been the Madagascar Vanilla cupcake.

If you want to know what they're baking up, check out their instagram @flourplusbutter. The staff are nice and sometimes, they have samples out. For parking, there is metered street parking on Cooke Street. I have been here around noon a few times and each time I could get one of the metered spaces.

The Girls Who Bake Next Door Truck

There's a new truck on the block. This one serves up delicious baked goods. You can find their location on twitter and facebook. They are usually in downtown from 1:00pm - 3:00pm parked in front of the Alexander & Baldwin building on Bishop Street. My favorites so far are the cookies and cream cupcake, chocolate toffee peanut butter cupcake, and poi mochi. Some of the items are a little pricey and they only accept cash.

Let Them Eat Cupcakes - CLOSED

There are cupcake shops and trucks popping up all around town but my favorite one is Let Them Eat Cupcakes. Do you know why... because they make killer cupcakes! The cake in their cupcakes are moist and flavorful. The frosting is buttery and not overly sweet. A lot of places make their frosting too sweet and I can feel the sugar crunching while I'm eating the cake. The red velvet is their signature cupcake but I didn't like it. If you're one of those daring people, I suggest you try the li hing mango. It sounds weird but it's actually a very interesting combo and it works. My favorites are chocolate and guava.

If you're planning on getting some of these, I highly recommend calling the shop in the morning to place an order and then picking them up in the afternoon. They usually sell out around 2PM.
