The cupcake craze in the past few years has exploded, and in my family we have a bit of OCD (Obsessive Cupcake Disorder). It doesn’t help that almost everywhere you look, there’s a new cupcake shop opening up. Here in Miami, we have quite a few, but to me there is nothing as delicious as the cupcakes found at Buttercream Cupcakes & Coffee. I’ve mentioned them before in some of my other blog posts, but today I am dedicating an entire post just to them. The tiny shop, owned by wife and husband team Kristine Graulich and Jose Cuellar, situated on the residential side of Sunset Drive, is small but cozy. There’s a little table inside if you’d like to escape the heat and humidity, and also a few tables set up outside. We love the aroma of warm cupcakes, the moment you open the front door. And then it hits you…which one should I choose?
Such a variety to choose from…
Be warned, you will not find any crazy, exotic flavors or fillings in these cupcakes. If that’s what you’re looking for, then this is not the place for you. Here the cake is basically always chocolate or vanilla, topped with various flavors of buttercream frosting, such as guava, pistachio (hubby’s favorite), vanilla (my original favorite), strawberry (my current favorite), red velvet or chocolate. The Oreo, featuring giant chunks of Oreo cookies in the frosting, is by far my daughter’s favorite. But these cupcakes don’t need any frills, they are perfect the way they are. Buttercream cupcakes are store-baked each day using the finest dairy, flour and sugar ingredients which is why they are so moist. They also offer additional flavors on a rotating schedule, such as orange and lime, to keep things interesting. Here are all of our favorite flavors:
Favorite flavors!
But if you can’t decide, they offer a sampler box of mini cupcakes comprised of their most popular flavors.

They also make cakes for special occasions, which are just as delicious as their cupcakes. Take a look at the beautiful cake they made for my friend’s baby shower:
Beautiful baby shower cake…
