    Adore Cupcakes is definitely what South Park needs. Conducting their business out of a deliciously pink Airstream Trailer, Adore brings cupcakes to the next level by providing our community with some much needed sweets and happy, smiling service. The menu includes a necessary Red Velvet cupcake with which I assume is a cream cheesey type frosting, as well as an absolutely delicious Banana cupcake topped with a creamy frosting and chocolate morsels (my favorite). The Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting seems to be Adore's staple cake. A few more include an elegant Strawberry Cupcake that is hardly "too sweet," a surprisingly delicious Vegan Carrot Cupcake, and I assume a seasonal Pumpkin Spice cupcake that goes beyond its purpose of reminding you of mom's Autumn cooking, all while seducing your taste buds. I think that's it, but that is enough. The desserts seem to be made with some love and baked with the intention to make people feel good. Great service, too! Smiles, stories, and laughs every time I've been there.

    Criticism: Maybe some high quality coffee in the future? Maybe a few quick and easy espresso drinks? Not so much to take away from the cupcakes, just to complement them.

    Okay Okay Okay - - I am soooo in love with Adore Cupcakes and they have Pup Cakes too! I tried the carrot cupcake today and almost went to heaven at the stop sign when I took a bite.   The frosting was so light and creamy (dreamy) and I was so hungry and was expecting to find a fish taco stand there. Well what a "delicious" surprise to meet Heather and Gil behind the counter. Very nice people too! They have a gluten free cupcake also that I can't wait to try. I highly recommend you get over to the Gala Store parking lot  in South Park (look for the pretty pink bus) and visit them right away! Buy some for your next party - your friends will be raving about them.  
    They are right down the street from the Grape St. Dog Park so I have to tell my friends with Pooches to go and try the Pup Cakes.  There is a water bowl out and cute little tables to sit and chit chat.  Don't wait, make a date!

    Not bad but nowhere near the level of sprinkles or a few other cupcake places I've tried which stinks because it's so close to me.

    i love food trucks and i love cupcakes and so when the two are combined -- perfection! what a great little truck to stop at after taking the pups for a run at the grape street dog park...plenty of parking in the grocery store lot and you can grab some fish tacos as a snack and then a delicious cupcake to finish...

    i had the "my true love" -- banana cupcake was awesome!

    Cute and Tasty little cupcake however - for $3.50 I think that they should be bigger. I literally ate the entire thing in 3 bites...Thats about $1.17 a bite! I guess if I want a chocolate , vanilla or red velvet cupcake I will go to Junipers Latest  Scoop or go to Baby Cakes in Hillcrest. Please please please make your cupcakes larger!! I was so excited about this place and I would really like to see it a success!!

    Enjoyed the vegan carrot cupcake, I'm not even a vegan. Had a hard time telling the difference between the vanilla and the strawberry.  Will visit Adore again

    Realllly good cupcakes, I cant think of any other place that I liked more than this one. So far I've only tried the red velvet cupcake and the pumpkin spice. They said that they were only making the pumpkin cupcake for one day or so to see what other people thought of it. And I LOVE it. I realllllly hope that they decide to keep the pumpkin one on the menu. It really brought out the pumpkin flavor without being overpowering. Same goes for the frosting. Love it.

    Really enjoyed my chocolate cupcake. Cake was nice and moist and the frosting very chocolatey.  My husband had the vegan carrot and thought it had a bit too much cinnamon, but the cake was moist and the frosting, yummy.  I'm looking forward to trying the vanilla.  The owner was very sweet.
