2 Girls and a Cupcake

Is this place closed? I’m standing outside 140 SE 1^st Ave and it doesn’t look like there’s a cupcake place here. No one picked up when I called; no business voicemail.

Never Again
I read the Unilocal reviews and saw one that stated that Two Girls and a Cupcake may be delicious but they can’t handle big orders. Boy do I wish I had listened! We made an order for 600 cupcakes for a graduation reception. We sent them the time, date, location and cupcake order and then we were discussing how many display stands we needed. I assumed with all of that information they had everything they needed. Turns out they didn’t but failed to contact us and let us know so. We called them 15 minutes after they were supposed to arrive and they informed us that they were not coming, and had not made our order and we had no food for our 600 guests. Furthermore they sent us an email blaming us entirely for the incident rather than acknowledging any misunderstanding. Save yourselves the headache and do not ever get cupcakes from them!!!

WAY overdue for a review but here goes… I tried 2GC cupcakes for the first time at a birthday party a few years ago when competition was fierce out there. The red velvet was my favorite.
Then in April 2011, I entered and won their DJ Laz cupcake contest which comprised of coming up with a flavor named and designed after DJ Laz. I was TOTALLY excited about this since I’d never won anything like this before (corny, I know). The prize was 2 dozen cupcakes of the flavor I created. The flavor was a guayaba and queso crema filled vanilla cupcake with dulce de leche frosting & coconut flakes. They were DELICIOUS. Order them, they’re called «Oye Morena».
Despite their name, 2GC has managed to outlive their competition and has kept things pretty solid for a few years now. That should say something about their yummy cupcakes. I’m looking forward to cashing in on my CoupTessa coupon this year. ;)

From the first time i put that delicious cupcake in my mouth I was in love. So moist and full of flavor, it was like an orgy in my mouth. The Red Velvet it’s hands down my favorite, but OMG the dulce de leche is to die for. Regularly Im not a fan of guava but I can not put down the Guava and cream chesse cupcake. I am addicted to 2GC.
The girls are super cute and you receive great custumer service everytime. And props for making it on the Food Networks Cupcake Wars. So what if you didn’t win you girls are winners in my book.

Recently tried to place an order for an office event but numerous phone calls (no answer, phone goes into voice mail) were unreturned. That’s just bad business. Plenty of other bake shops in town…

leave it to me to write my 200^th review about a cupcake shop! said like a true cupcake addicted woman!
now…read carefully…
once upon a time they were in downtown, now they are in hialeah. the new location was a little hard to find, i must admit. it is tucked away down a strip of warehouses where one would not think that cupcakes reside. also, it didn’t help that their listed number was disconnected and i couldn’t call to ask for directions! that was a little frustrating.
the most important part: the cupcakes. i went with vanilla (the ultimate test for my tastebuds) and the guava and cheese. the vanilla was good, not extraordinary, but good. i felt that the cake could have been a tad bit sweeter. the guava and cheese was good– i’m not even gonna front. the young lady at the counter offered me a sort of chocolate truffle cupcake. i’m not a chocolate lover, but it was pretty tasty!
i think this new location (never saw the old one in downtown) needs work. you can tell they just moved in, and i’m sure they will be fully operating in no time. and guess what? no paper receipts! you give them your email and they send you an electronic receipt through pay pal! i thought that was pretty neat.
woohooooo for my 200^th review!!!

Continually searching for the most unique and trendy spots to enjoy with friends and family, I came across one place today that sent me smiling. The new location for 2 Girls and a Cupcake was slamming with business and baked goods. Having tried a dozen of Miami’s best, it was my first time tasting these little pieces of jewels. I visited the bake shop today with the intention of shooting some photos of the owners/​staff baking their delicious creations and I ended up walking away with the most intriguing flavors. Two flavors that I purchased were their «Three’s Leche» and «6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot»…an ode to the Lil’ Wayne single that’s been rolling around in our heads since his debut performance on New Year’s Eve. Both cupcakes were extremely flavorful and you can define their flavors in each bite. Let’s just say that tasting the «Three’s Leche» really did feel like grandma’s secret recipe. Gotta hand it to them, it was good. The vibe in their shop was a fun and enjoyable. They had a DJ mixing the latest tunes and also paying tribute to our Hispanic culture by playing our classic salsa hits. Everyone was buying. From the Hialeah Police team to old high school friends and lets not forget the moms and their daughters with painted faces and mouths showing traces of butter cream frosting. I cannot wait to see them take over Hialeah. Taking it back to their hometown, they are welcomed with open arms to make this sweet spot home sweet home.

SWEET Home HIALEAH indeed! I stopped by the 2 Girls’ shop for the Cupcake Pop-​Up event advertised here and have to say they’ve retained their juju!
Located in the warehouse district of the City of Progress, I rushed through the famous traffic of their yummy goodness. I got there towards the event, but they still managed to have the crème brûlée cupcake (yes.Eva is in HIALEAH now). The banana cupcake with the hip-​hop inspired name is pretty tasty as well.
I’m hoping to check it out again, maybe they’ll have a churro flavored cupcake next time! =)

Two words for Two Girls — FABU LOUS! ;) Best cupcakes in town hands down. The guava cupcake should be illegal! YUM!!!

Sorry but never again.
After ordering a tower of cupcakes for a friend’s baby shower and getting a call AN HOUR before I had to pick them up that they ran out of towers and was asked if I could pick one up… GWHAT!?! Never ever ever again! They even suggested cancelling the order and just picking up a cake at Publix!!! What the… seriously?! I shouldn’t be the one having to get the cupcake 3 tier tower at Party City I orginally ordered! They should’ve run out to get it! I was livid.
Hey, cupcakes aren’t rocket sciene?! And you’ve got some competition out there. I get it, the cupcakes are good but they need to organize themselves a little better and provide better service. On a day when I was SO busy with my best friend’s shower, they really took the cake fudging it up for me!
And really «Two Girls and Cupcake» — just thinking where they got their name from grosses me out. Euw.

Have been wanting to try their delish cupcakes so bad… Standing at Wok Town waiting for my order, I realized it was directly across the street.
Got our order so we decided to rush over and get some cupcakes. What an adorable store. Pink everywhere and oh so cute. I met the two young owners and they were so very nice. They give Excellent service. You can tell they have poured their hearts into their business.
We ordered: Four cupcakes, vanilla, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, and breakfast in bed– blueberry and cinnamon. First bite, OK good but there were a few things that we noticed. The cake was a bit on the dry side. Just not real moist. The flavor on all four was very good.
The icing was sweet, almost overly sweet.
They were good just not me craving for more. I do wish them good luck, as they are the sweetest young ladies. I will be back to try other flavors and hopefully update my review…

The best cup cake I have ever had! If you are going to a friends for dinner and need to bring dessert, you can’t go wrong with a box of cup cakes!
At the Unilocal Spice Trade Event, I tried several mini cup cakes so this week I finally convinced the W to bring some home for dessert (Yeah, I made my pitch after I washed the outside windows!) Wow, the box of 12 were unbelievable. I will say, I had one chocolate and one vanilla last night, but one would have been good enough even though I burned plenty of calories washing the windows!
2 Girls and a Cupcake rock!
Parking is problematic downtown, but I usually park by the Federal Express Building at the meters and walk a few blocks. It’s a short walk, but if you plan to eat more than one cup cake, it is not that far.
BTW, check the hours on their website. They are only open Mondays-​Thursday 12pm — 6pm and Fridays 12pm — 4pm (closed on Weekends).

I dont know what first attracted me to this place, the tower of mini cupcakes or the cute girls serving them. I had the pleasure to both stuff my face with a selection of the mini cupcakes and meet both of the owners at the Unilocal Spice Trade Event. There I sampled the Guava and Cheese variety and to be honest I didnt get to the other ones as I was stuck on this. I did however visit their store the next week downtown and got myself a Red Velvet.
Their menu changes weekly and they offer such local flavors as Dulce de leche, the aforementioned Guava and Key Lime. I cant wait to try next week’s flavors but I should probably switch to the $ 1 dollar mini cupcakes for the sake of my trousers!

I just visited the store of these two wonderful ladies and couldn’t be happier. It is kinda of long drive since I live in Doral and its located on all the way downtown… but it was totally worth it.
They happen to be close friends with my bff. and so we were treated to a free cookies and cream cupcake.
I bought 8 to bring home and some for my parents since they love sweets.
Well…the cupcake I had was sooo good! I am not a big fan of frosting but I loved this one.
I really wish them the best, they are true entrepreneurs and I know they will get far. The enthusiam and hard work they put in, will for sure pay off in the end.

I brought home my chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing with the full intention of rationing it over 2 days or at least the course of the day, but no dice! Once I started eating the moist chocolate cake with heavenly and supper butter creamy frosting, I was lost in a sea of chocolate nirvana that ended only with the disappearance of the very last bite. I loved that the cupcake was just sweet enough without sending me on a one way trip to tooth decay. The shop is cute and having Nestle Quick on hand to facilitate in-​store consumption is a nice touch!
I agree that better seating and a more visually pleasing display case would help out the interior a bit. But, I also agree that the lovely co-​owners more than make up for anything that is lacking inside.
With our very own cupcake shop I feel as though downtown has finally arrived, or something like that anyway.
Their flavors change all the time and I look forward to buying a box full next time!

How to beat the mid-​afternoon office blues?
Why, by hosting an impromptu cupcake tasting party!
While procrastinating from my tasks at work on Unilocal,I came across the fact that these gals had finally opened up and did so only blocks away from my office!
I grabbed my purse and hopped on to the metromover before I could think twice about my deadlines for the day. 2 Girls is conveniently located right by the Knight Center stop on the Metromover.
The location still looks a little rough, but the what is rough is more than made up for by the bubbly personalities of the bakers/​owners — two young and effusive ladies who are fans of Kim Kardashian. One of the flavors that day was the Tiara because it was Kim’s birthday. After my purchase, I donned a birthday hat and posed with her cupcake for a picture that will be sent in a package to her publicist. How cute and silly is that?
I am such a cupcake glutton that the only way to avoid eating nine cupcakes by myself is to share them with my co-​workers. Nine is exactly how many flavors they had to offer that day on the dry-​erase board. The flavors change daily. Mini-​cupcakes are only available for catering.
These cupcakes look like ones that I could make myself, but then I am an amateur cupcake baker. What I mean, is that the décor was minimal. The frosting and sprinkles hint at what flavor cupcake you have or what could be found inside. For example, the Pina Colada cupcake had coconut flakes on top of the white frosting. The Guava cupcakes had guava jelly under the dollop of white frosting on top. The Mystery Flavor (Baller like Wade) which contained chocolate filling also had a layer of chocolate syrup under the dollop of frosting.
The cake is rich and moist. The frosting, depending on the flavor combo, is the right amount of gritty sweetness that I like on a cupcake for the perfect cake-​to-​frosting ratio.
The best part about a cupcake tasting party is that you can find out about other flavors without having to ingest the calories yourself. In exchange for providing free cupcakes (which I split into halves and quarters), my co-​workers were made to report their findings to me.
A huge success. While not all the flavors were hits, I am definitely coming back the next time I need to escape the office for a guilty indulgence!

I first learned about these 2 via a friend and after following them on Twitter (
) and YouTube (
), I decided to pay them a visit.
First of all, the girls are sweethearts (one was wearing dorky glasses with no lens) and couldn’t be happier doing what they do. They put a lot of love into these cupcakes and you can definitely taste it with unique flavors such as Key Lime Pie, Piña Colada and their signature Guava. They even have special cupcakes such as their Monday Night Beer Cupcake.
So why 4 stars? Parking sucks and the presentation on a few of the cupcakes could be nicer. It’s not bad at all when you think that these girls have been in business for only 2 weeks as these are normal bumps that can easily fixed.
I wish them the best and will definitely support them in the months to come.

Pretty awesome cupcakes, I had a whole bunch of their mini cupcakes, and a bite of their «red velvet cupcake» which were absolutely outrageous! the two girls in the store are really sweet (no pun intended)
Compared to Publix cupcakes which I actually like lol these are pretty pricey ($ 2.00 each) however they taste wayyy better so maybe its because these are like gourmet? you know, good ingredients and whole lotta love goes into each one… anyway I highly recommend it!

On Friday night I decided to go to the store’s grand opening charity event, where all proceeds go to Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s foundation. They officially open next week. I realized once I arrived past midnight that I had come on the wrong night! Luckily, the girls were still there serving cupcakes. However, the big event was the day before.
Out of all the cupcake places, I think this one is definitely the best decorated. They have a second floor that they plan on using as a party room which I think is a great idea. I also like that there aren’t any other cupcake places near this location in Downtown so there shouldn’t be too much competition. I also liked that the cupcakes have «fillings» since I haven’t had that before.
What I didn’t like: there wasn’t enough seating, they ran out of the flavors I wanted to try (i know, i should’ve gone the day before!), and it was really hard to find. We spent almost an hour walking around in the dark trying to find it, and finally did three phone calls later.
The girls were really friendly, even sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend and told us how neither of them know the other’s recipes (one makes the frostings and the other the cakes), and I love that they have some things to offer that most cupcake places don’t: a cute store and unique flavors with a homemade taste.

WOW! These cupcakes leave me speechless and happy!!! SOOOO delicious.
I only had the pleasure of trying them because they were sponsored at the Toys for Tots Event at the Collection, which was during Thanksgiving week. I think I must have scarfed down an entire plate to myself!!! (I totally stood in front of her table and munched out!)
These bite-​sized morsels of delicious buttery goodness just satisfied all of my senses. From the creamy, hand/​home made frosting, to the moist, buttery vanilla fluffy cake, it was just TOO good!
This is run by 2 girls that are best friends (I asked). It started as a joke since the name is a play on words from a VERY naughty website. Cute idea that’s totally worked out for them and I am glad to see that they are starting to really make a name for themselves.
Thank you Ladies — Evelyn Dieppa and Eileen Sanchez — for a wonderful treat!
