With sweets that taste as deliciously dreamy as they appear, this bakery shows off cupcake art at its finest. The custom treats offered at Dreamcakes Bakery change monthly with local favorites offered daily, such as a caramel sea salt mocha cupcake and a miniature wedding cake. True to the ’Bama pride that courses through the veins of the city, Dreamcakes offers the Roll Tide red velvet cupcake—a “crimson” velvet cake topped with cream cheese frosting, red sprinkles and, of course, the University of Alabama’s “A.” Can’t make it to the bakery? Be on the lookout for the Dreamcakes Cupcake Truck roaming Birmingham streets.
