Ida's Cupcake Cafe, Redmond

I always hunt for gluten-free/vegan bakeries when I travel, and Ida’s Cupcake Café in Redmond did not disappoint. Everything I ordered was gluten-free and vegan, and it was all delicious. The lemon cupcake with vanilla frosting was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—bright lemon flavor and a generous, not-too-sweet frosting. I meant to share it but ended up eating the whole thing! I also got a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and a peanut butter cupcake with chocolate frosting. Both had chocolate chips in the cake (which I didn’t think were necessary), but they were still tasty. The cupcakes were even frosted to order—such a nice touch!

I was so happy to find gluten-free cupcakes and also vegan. They also make full cakes and wedding cakes etc. The gentleman that was working there was very nice and helpful and the cupcake was exquisitely delicious. They also sell glass cake stands that are made by a glass artist. Beautiful.
