Retro Bakery – Las Vegas, NV

August 16, 2009June 21, 2022 148 comments
I spent last week in Las Vegas, NV with my husband and I *KNEW* that one stop that needed to be made was at Retro Bakery. Boy, did it NOT disappoint!

Just about 20 minutes from The Strip in Vegas, Retro Bakery is located just off the highway in a quaint little shopping center. I was greeted by a super cute, super friendly bundle of joy named Kari. I had tweeted to her (@RetroBakery) earlier that morning that I was going to be stopping by that day, but I wasn’t sure if she had checked her Twitter or not, so I didn’t mention right away who I was. But… eventually it all came out who I was and how I came to land at the Retro Bakery that day!

Ok… now the cupcakes. I should have taken a picture of the display case. There were so many delicious cupcakes to choose from, it was very hard to pick. My husband and I decided we’d each pick two.

I chose the Peanut Butter Cup (Chocolate cake topped with peanut butter buttercream and dark chocolate shavings) and the Cinnamon Toast (vanilla cake topped with cinnamon buttercream dusted with cinnamon and sugar) cupcakes while my husband chose the Cotton Candy (Vanilla cake topped with pink cotton candy buttercream and blue glitter sugar) and the Creamsicle (Vanilla cake topped with a vanilla/orange swirl buttercream).

The tag line on the bakery’s business card is “It’s All About the Buttercream” and they aren’t kidding!! The buttercream on these cupcakes was TO. DIE. FOR. Creamy, flavorful, smooth… it just rolled across my tongue with each bite. Each buttercream flavor was distinctly the flavor it said it was going to be. So when I bit into the peanut butter… it actually tasted like peanut butter. Most suprpisingly, the cotton candy buttercream tasted exactly like cotton candy!!

As I look back, I wish I would have tired one more cupcake with a different base flavor. We had three with vanilla and one chocolate. The chocolate was so delish… most and chocolatey!! Yummm!! I gotta give it to the vanaill though… because it was by far the BEST vanilla cupcake I have EVER tasted! It was dense, but not mushy, springy and moist, full of flavor and baked PERFECTLY. I could have eaten those vanilla cupcakes alone if the buttercream had not been so heavenly!

So thank you to Kari for being so sweet when we came to visit!! And thank you to Retro Bakery for making such delicious cupcakes!! I can’t wait to get back to Las Vegas to try four more flavors!

    I've been in Vegas 6 times in the past two months for work and never manage to get over to Retro because of my schedule. I can't wait to try the donut cupcake and the cotton candy cupcake. Glad you enjoyed them.

    Dropping in from sits. Make it a great day!

    I'm hopefully headed to Vegas w/my husband in a couple of months, so I'm going to have to keep my eye out for this place. Mmmm. Stopping by from SITS to say hi & congrats on being FB today.

    Oh my god; I intended to pop over from SITS and say hi, then run in the shower (post gym) but it is now entirely YOUR FAULT that I will be a sweaty, badly-coiffed (like I really care) mess for hours. Because once I started reading (like horny guys read Penthouse — yup, great articles, and "OH! WERE THERE PICTURES?") your blog, I could not stop.

    Frosting and cake. (Insert Homer Simpson groan here.)

    They look so beautiful and yummy. I'm drooling sitting here but I'm also inspired by the decorative nature of them too.

    now, i mean this in a good way. i'm glad you are not near me!! i've managed to lose 25lbs. this year and your cupcakes would turn the dial UP!

    omg, they look good! now if you were like 30-40 mls away i could handle that. close make a trip when i'm having incurable cravings but far enough to keep me from buy 20 a day.

    sorry, i'm just a motor mouth tonight. 🙂
