I'm looking for places selling cupcakes in central. I know there must be a few. Ideally look for a shop that sell cupcakes or such that taste good, looks good (in the sense that you can have some arts on top rather than just some cream or etc) and not too expensive. Dont know if it is too much to ask for? Must be willing to tailor made only a few. Just want to do something nice for my baby half year old birthday.
 
the cakes at cake-a-licious are really delicious and they could decorate for you too. But it's not cheap, off the shelf is $25 per cupcake. Just tried them this weekend and definitely more to my palate than cake deelite ones or baby cakes
 
LOVE sift cupcakes as well. They have a dessert restaurant in Central or a little shop in Wanchai on Queens Road east that is very close to Pacific Place 3. Sooooo delicious!
 
I second Sift. Sift cupcakes are definitely better than Complete Deelite. SIft cupcakes are $22 each - not decorated. I just ordered some cupcakes from them for my son's birthday - I ordered 2 dozen and they are printing a picture of some Toy Story characters on them for me. The cost is $22 per cupcake plus $10 per cupcake for the image. So not cheap - but they are really yummy and my son will be so happy to see Woody on his cupcake!
 
Okay. Maybe I just buy undecorated cup cakes and put some candles? The cupcakes need to taste good as ultimately we are the ones eating it! LOL

hi taysty... i have been searching for cup cakes for my baby as well, he will be turning 6-mth end of this month so i think our kids are similar in age?

sift is definitly a great choice, but if you are looking for a more budget option try prince bakery in sheung wan (#212-214 De Vouex Road Central, near Sheung Wan MTR), a local bakery chain not much choice for cup cakes but price was from $12 (was on special), not bad for the price....

i also found a bakery that can tailor make gorgeous cakes to any design, my friend had a 3d toy story cake for her son's 5th bday and i'm planning to order something special for my son's 1st bday, but it's all the way out near sheung shui so transportation will be an issue, will see...

hope this helps

My baby is 5 months 2 weeks. I'll check out on prince bakery. It's like less than 1 min walk from where I work! :)

Surprised no-one has mentioned Complete Deelite in Central. The decorated cupcakes range from $18 - 22 (for standard ones). They also have a discount if you are buying a dozon. See their website. They are a favourite at my work when people are doing a birthday cake treat:

Complete deelite are ok...cake-a-licious are super sweet. I find the Sift cupcakes better quality tasting and actually cheaper than the "special" ones at cake-a-licious. It will cost more for customization, but they're beautiful iced anyway on their own I find. Sometimes I find the complete deelite a bit on the drier side. There used to be Babycakes before too, but I think they shut down? Someone did mention Complete deelite in the earlier posts, I think.
 
I was disappointed with Complete Deelite. I got 10 cupcakes for more than HK $200, which is alot, considering that cupcakes are made of pretty cheap material. They were pretty, but the cake was a little dry. I expected more for that cost.

If you have an oven, cupcakes are super-easy to do with cake mix.

Or, if you don't have an oven, you can buy non-designer, plain cupcakes somewhere and just decorate and frost yourself.

After all, I don't think a 6-month-old can really tell the difference!
 
Complete Deelite is a rip off honestly, its good/ people love it because no one in HK does cakes as pretty as them. So its more about lack of choice that its so popular. The owners mum herself confessed to me that if they have a cake that has been baked a few days ago and not used, they keep it in the fridge and use it on another order.
I paid a fortune for my daughter's third birthday cake, as the lady who was to originally bake the cake fell sick. The cake was gorgeous looking BUT it was stale, dry and not worth the money.
I can bake cakes a million times tastier BUT I am not very good at decorating. I plan to learn once my kids a bit older when I have time.
 
Cakealicous cakes are super sweet and the icing sugar is too grainy and chunky. Also I find that for the fancy cakes the final look is not very polished and rather sloppy looking. My friend ordered a jungle themed cake and one could hardly make out the different animals. Its cheaper for a reason ;)
