The newly opened So Cupcake on 3939 South and highland Dr. seems to be a big hit so far. I really like their website, might have to try a cake or three soon.
Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.

I had the pleasure of trying a carrot cake, red velvet with cream cheese, and lemon cupcake (in the cutest little two-bite sizes!) today. They were all very nice. My favorite was the carrot cake, but the frosting on all three was to die for.
I got married over the summer in Big Cottonwood Canyon over the summer and I had So Cupcake make mini cupcakes and a jumbo cupcake in lieu of a wedding cake. I can honestly say that they are the best cupcakes in Salt Lake City, as I tested 6 other bakeries before happening on the So Cupcake website. Natalie who owns the shop with her husband did the most amazing job. They looked great and tasted even better. We had 6 different flavors, my favorite is the carrot cake and my husband loved the pistachio. You should go try some for yourself!
I also gave the place a quick try a few weeks back. If I remember correctly I had a coffee flavoured one. Very good, would definitely go back there.
