You know it’s a beautiful morning at the farmers market when the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and vegan cupcakes are calling your name.
Sweet Aha! is an all natural, 100% vegan, organic, non-GMO bake shop. Their unassuming booth features a weekly rotation of various flavors of cupcakes, muffins and cookies. Pictured above is the Coconut Lime cupcake.
So moist and fluffy! And it’s not super sweet either as they try to use a minimal amount of sweetener (unrefined evaporated cane juice sugar). The texture is spot on. Excellent flavor combination too, the coconut goes really well with the lime.
A couple of other cupcake flavors is the Coconut Lemon (pictured in the back) and the Chocolate Mint. I never thought I would say this, but the best part is the frosting. It’s so light and just the right amount of sweet.
I remember a time long ago before I was vegan when I would actually scrape off frosting because it was so sickeningly sweet. Not so with a Sweet Aha! cupcake, I would get one just for the frosting. It’s that good. The cake part is good too but the frosting is extraordinary. Easily blows away any other cupcake I’ve ever tried.
Sweet Aha! can be found at the College of San Mateo Farmers Market on Saturdays and at the Inner Sunset Farmers Market on Sundays. I haven’t tried the muffins or cookies yet. I’m already anticipating indecision on what flavor cupcake to try next.
I’ve done that with too sweet icing too. Kind of takes away the cupcake experience. These look delicious. The spotty mint one looks so fun. Ok, I’m sold..send me a couple! ;)
I’m an icing-scrapper, too. I wonder how I’d feel about the Aha! icing — usually I can only eat icing that I’ve made because it’s not too sweet or too fatty. The texture of the cupcakes looks amazing — makes me want to bite into one right now. Love lime and coconut.
Need more INFORMATION about ordering.
Cute logo and love the name – Sweet Aha! Was the coconut-lime cupcake a bit sour? I love sweet & sour desserts. The Chocolate Mint cupcake looks pretty with the turquoise frosting.
Oh wow those look really great. Just by looking at that first one, I can tell that the frosting is amazing! Wow. I agree about frosting usually being too sweet so I need to try these!!!
Wow! That chocolate mint cupcake looks so good. They all sound fabulous.
So awesome! I rarely find an appropriately sweetened frosting out in the “wild” these days, so I’m thrilled that there’s another excellent option out there. I just wish they were available here, too!
Cool! I actually go to that San Mateo farmers market sometimes with my best friend, because she lives up there. I will definitely keep an eye out for these!
Those are some good looking cakes! I love mint and chocolate in anything – you don’t get enough minty cakes around for me!
omg these sound incredible!!
