Cupcake Crawl: Orange County
Right about now you might be wondering, “What in the world is a Cupcake Crawl?!?” And I’d have to say this…
Perfection.
Deliciousness.
A genius idea.
So I’m pretty sure you get the idea 😉
If you’re new here to Girl on the Move, here’s something you should know…I am OBSESSED with cupcakes! Â A few months ago I saw a post somewhere on social media about a pub crawl and realized that what would make a pub crawl better is that instead of traveling from one pub to the next, you traveled from one cupcake shop to the next!
And so the idea for a Cupcake Crawl was born!
For this first crawl I teamed up with Pavé Group to host this awesome afternoon.  We journeyed through Orange County, CA along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) so our crawl not only included fantastic cupcakes, but ocean views!
Our first stop was French’s Cupcake Bakery in Costa Mesa, where we tried several delicious cupcakes.  My favorite was the Lemon Blueberry and if the lines were any indication, French’s won Best Bakery in Orange County in 2015 for good reason!
From there we traveled to B Candy! You might remember my trip to B Candy a couple of years ago…well, they’ve only gotten better! Â I mean, these sprinkles though! Â A visit to B Candy is not only delicious, but a visual treat! Â Filled with ice cream, dessert novelty items, cupcake stools at the counter and a unicorn mural on the outside, B Candy is a must-see if you’re in the Corona del Mar/Newport Beach, CA area!
And finally we headed over to Sweet & Saucy Shop in Newport Beach! This is where my cupcake affair began so they had to be a stop on the tour.  And they did not disappoint!  The cake pops are always a hit but this visit my favorite was probably the Strawberry cupcake…so yummy!
I am confident our first Cupcake Crawl was a big success and I have to say, I’m already dreaming and planning about when I can organize another Cupcake Crawl, so I’d love to hear…where should I take the Cupcake Crawl next?!?

I want to go on a cupcake crawl! Cupcakes are my weakness and I would literally live on them if I could.

Cupcakes are most definitely my weakness…I’ve been to nearly 100 cupcake shops around the country!

This sounds like so much fun! I love the idea of going to bakeries instead of bars. I’m going to try to do this in my town! 🙂

I’m thinking a Cupcake Crawl might make a perfect charity event. Yours seemed like a lot of fun and I thnk others would think so, too.

I love the idea of Cupcake Crawl for a charity event!

That sounds like it would be right up my alley. I love cupcakes!

These cupcakes all look delicious. I love the rainbow one, and the cake pop! Even though I love cupcakes, I haven’t had one in quite some time sadly!
Paula
The sprinkled rainbow cupcake is so pretty! You should head up north and stop by Miglet’s cupcakes… they are gluten free but you wouldn’t know. My favorite? Blueberry lemon or salted caramel. YUM!
Emily
I’d love to do a cupcake crawl. What a fun idea – who doesn’t love cupcakes?

Julie this sounds like so much fun. This is something my daughter and her friends would love to do.
Sheria
Fun and cupcakes! What more could a girl ask for? I have never been on a cupcake crawl but I know for a fact that I would love it. Cupcakes are my kryptonite.

Ok, you need to come to Florida and organize one of these! I’ll be your first sign up, such a fabulous idea!!!!!
Carolyn
We only have one cupcake shop here in Charleston but we could do a sweets crawl and add in the fancy donut shop. 🙂 That strawberry cupcake looks delicious.
Marie
Now that sounds like a fun idea. A cupcake crawl instead of pub crawl. I’m not sure how it would work in our little town … I don’t think we even have bakeries outside of the grocery store … but it sounds like fun if you live in a bigger place.
Taylor
A cupcake crawl is genius! You’re totally my type of person LOL! 🙂
Wendy
This sounds so fun. I can’t remember the last time I had a cupcake!
Kiwi
OMG i used to love cupcakes. I think a cupcake crawl is a cute idea!
Sheila
I’m pretty sure you need to plan the next one for when I’m in the states. But really. It’s pretty much mandatory. Also, love that you go with a group and can all have little tastes of everything if you share!
Julie - "Girl on the Move"
We can absolutely do a Cupcake Crawl the next time you’re in the states!
BridgetJane
Hey JULIE!
This sounds like a divine day!! Cupcakes are so pretty! My sister in law went through an obsessional stage too and it was so much fun finding her new cute cupcake recipe books to try!
Lotsa love xo
Roxanne
Brilliant idea!! I live in an area where there are several cupcake festivals through the year. I also am fortunate to have several professional cupcake makers for my friends. 😉
Denea
This is my type of crawl! We need this in the city I live in! Jealous!
Mimi
I sure do love the idea of this! I know there are some amazing cupcake places in D.C. but I haven’t ever been to them. My mom has a favorite in VA that she likes to bring me to. Come out here, and we’ll crawl together. =)
Heather
Oh my goodness! A cupcake crawl sounds right up my alley…I wonder if I can get one started around here!
Erin
Cupcake crawl??? Seriously, this is brilliant! I have to round up some friends to do this too!
Leslie Hernandez
I have to say that was my reaction when I saw the tittle cupcake crawl’s, I was what is that!! But after reading that sounds like something I would love doing although I am supposed to be on a diet lol… but I love love cupcakes what can say.

Oh, Julie. I’m not sure right now if I’m gonna love you for this excellent idea or if I’m gonna hate you for making me seriously crave for cupcakes. 😀 Yum!
