Cupcakes & Donuts & Whiskers on Kittens...

...these are a few of my favorite things...

So, where do I get scrumptious cupcakes and decadent donuts on the strip? These are my two favorite desserts ever...but, I will only betray my good eating habits to indulge if it's actually "indulge-worthy", so they have to be better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' or grocery store cupcakes from a plastic clamshell container.

Any suggestions???

 

The patisserie at Aria has very good cupcakes (and other desserts)

 

District Donuts at Cosmo Block 16

 

Aria patisserie is not cheap, but is really good, as UK says.

 

Carlo's Bakery at Venetian

agree with the Aria patisserie

 

When I am walking through the Las Vegas airport to get on my flight home while feeling like crap, I get a cupcake from that vending machine there

 

Those look amazing!!!

 

That's precisely where I don't want to get a cupcake from!

 

Uh, some time ago, one of the mid-Strip buffets used to have cupcakes of about any type you could think of and they were quite yummy. Might have been Planet Ho (?????), but it's kind of a moot point now.

 

Jerry's Nugget bakery.
great eclairs.

 

If that was one of the Sprinkles Cupcakes ATM's, not necessarily a bad choice. Only used one once, for the novelty, when they had one on Linq Promenade next to their store, but that Sprinkles location was replaced with something else. That store had been my cupcake fix on the strip.

District Donuts is good, but I have to admit, a Krispy Kreme cruller works for me too.

 

Yeah, you're think of PHo. They used to advertise their cupcake selection as part of the spice market buffet. It was a pretty large selection, but none of them spectacular

 

The Cinnamon Roll Brulee style will change your life.

(Particularly when enjoyed on the balcony of the Cosmo overlooking the Bellagio Fountain)

 

"Cupcakes & Donuts & Whiskers on Kittens..."

I can't answer your question, but I love the subject line!

 

I was at Aria two weeks ago. Perhaps its a matter of personal taste... or even frame of mind. It seemed to me to have fewer choices than pre-pandemic.

For a delicious pastry, something to sit and eat with a fork, the Patisserie is fantastic. Good selection of treats: A Madeleine, some macarons, chocolates, etc. I remember seeing muffins, I think I had one. I dont recall seeing donuts.

 

In the past, they have had cinnamon and sugar donuts in the morning, but it was nothing special

 

You'll need a fork and a knife for the donuts from District Donuts at Cosmo.

 

See, that's exactly what I want! If I'm going to sacrifice my figure even a tiny bit it *has* to be with it!
