A vanilla latte cupcake? What can be better than coffee and baked goods rolled into one item? Treehouse bakery boasts natural, organic ingredients in its vegan and baked goods. Tigra C. from Scottsdale wrote: "My favorite flavors so far have been the Apple Pie cupcake (Is it an apple pie, or a cupcake? It's the lovechild of both!), the raspberry lemon (icing is to die for!), and... the... SALTED CARAMEL! One bite of that salted caramel had me losing my religion sideways. Sinfully scrumptious!"
