Prairie Girl Bakery brings gourmet cupcakes to Yorkville
The wildly popular bakery specializing in deliciously decadent artisanal cupcakes opened a third location at the corner of Bloor West and Avenue Road on Friday. The Yorkville shop carries the same cake-and-icing bombs as Prairie Girl’s King East and Path locations, like banana with peanut butter icing, carrot with cream cheese icing and the best-selling red velvet cupcakes pictured above.

Nothing gourmet about Prairie Girl. Cupcakes are flavourless with to much icing. Branding looks like something that belongs in a food court. Not what you’d expect in chic Yorkville.
Cupcakes were a trend. There are hundreds of cupcake shops in the city. So over it. As is everyone else.
So in other words, you started eating them because they were trendy, and now that the trend is over, you stopped.That’s even worse than the time when a waiter in a high-end restaurant told me they didn’t have Earl Grey tea because it was passé.
I guess this means war between Prairie Girl and Dlish. LOL!
Love their cupcakes, I haven’t found anyone else that uses top quality ingredients AND bakes everything day of. Also, best customer service I’ve experienced in Toronto, so glad they’re open in Yorkville now.
Ana, you’re crazy!! These are the best cupcakes in the city. I just moved to Vancouver and I want to cry just thinking about them!
Well check out Cupcakes by Cupcake Girls in Vancouver they are the same store bought quality as Prairie Girl.
I’ve had them a few times. So gross. I hate the icing and the cupcakes are always dry. If you know of any other cupcake places in the city though, let me know! :)
Im going to that place right now…. i want to try there delicacy….
