Have Your Cupcakes While Studying at Let Them Eat Cake

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UCD chapter.

With finals quickly approaching, you’re going to want a convenient and well-stocked study space filled with sweets. Let Them Eat Cake provides just this.

There are always four “dailies” of cupcakes to choose from: Down by the Sea (vanilla with salted buttercream), Dubliner (Guinness Stout chocolate), Illegally Blonde (vanilla), and Scarlett (red velvet). We highly recommend the Scarlett for a one-of-a-kind sweet cream cheese frosting. Down by the Sea is also a playful cupcake that perfectly pairs sweet and salty flavors.

Additionally, there are four limited edition “flavors of the week” such as Pietro’s Pride (hazelnut with Nutella frosting). Let Them Eat Cake also has daily vegan options available. No matter what you choose, from a regular to vegan, the cupcakes are deliciously moist with perfectly not too-sweet frosting.

Do not fret if your favorite is gone for the week. Special requests are available for order from their website. Let Them Eat Cake also has other great desserts such as celebration cakes, which need a 48 hour advanced notice, and fresh macarons. Everything is made fresh in-house as well, so whichever dessert your opt for is guaranteed to delight your taste buds.

Alyssa and Jaime, the new owners as of February 1, want to provide unique and tasty cupcakes while maintaining a “coffee shop” feel for their customers, especially for college students who want a relaxing place to study.

So, while you’re studying for the upcoming finals and need a break or a change of venue, you should consider treating yourself to a cupcake for all the hard work you put into school.
