I found an elegant bakery on Wilshire yesterday afternoon while running a few errands. Vanilla divides attention between wedding cakes, cupcakes, delicate sweets and seasonal treats. I was at first drawn in by the ornately decorated cupcakes. Upon closer inspection, I was wowed by the flavors, which change daily. I spotted key lime, pumpkin and mocha chocolate, which were specials as well as black & white, red velvet and "mom's birthday cake".

I was mesmerized by the ice box shots.

But in the end, I tried a macaron. I had pistachio, lemon, strawberry and chocolate from which to choose and I opted for the strawberry.

It really wasn't great - the cookies were overdone and thus crumbly and hallowed out and there was a baking powder aftertaste but the overall flavor was nice and based on the overall cuteness of the shop and the brisk cupcake business they were doing, I'd give it another shot - at least to try a strawberries and cream cupcake - you know, for comparison.
